Gavin Hlady (EF Training–Aevolo) received the under-23 males’s highway race title on the USA Professional Street Championships in Charleston on Saturday.
The 22-year-old crossed the road a slim two seconds forward of runner-up Dylan Zakrajsek (Aggressive Edge Racing) and third-placed Alfredo Bueno (Legion of Los Angeles).
“It was a fairly superior race. We had 4 of us within the closing group of 15 or so. All of the boys had been ripping. I obtained the fortunate place proper on the finish. I am fairly excited,” Hlady stated.

The under-23 males competed on two laps of the junior course that includes the Wertz climb earlier than crossing to the other facet of the river to deal with the punishing Bridge Street climb for 5 laps of the elite course for a complete of 135km.
Alexander Scopinich-Burgel (Kelly Advantages Methods), Luke Mosteller (Group California p/b Verge), and Luke Pharis (Group Skyline) pushed away from the peloton on the opening lap and rapidly constructed a spot of 4 minutes.
By the top of lap 4, the group started to crumble as Pharis was distanced on the Bridge Street climb, and Scopinich-Burgel and Mosteller continued out entrance. Mosteller tried to go alone with two laps to go, however his efforts had been short-lived and he was reeled again in to the peloton for the ultimate laps.
The race got here all the way down to a dash with Hlady, making his transfer out of the ultimate nook, and holding his pace throughout the road to take the under-23 title.
