The Men Singlespeed race was the final title race on Saturday at the 2021 USA Cyclocross National Championships.

The one-gear specialists raced during the golden hour in hopes of a gold USA Cycling medal.

2021 USA Cyclocross National Championships Men Singlespeed

Leading into the race, there were two big questions. Could 2019 singlespeed leader Ben Frederick could maintain his lead and avoid another shoe malfunction that cost him the 2019 title? And could 2019 winner Jake Wells make it four straight singlespeed titles after taking another Masters title earlier in the week, while riding a singlespeed?

While Wells sprinted to an early lead, Frederick powered past and stayed in his shoes despite the thick mud.

Behind, Wells faced stiff competition in the chase of podium spots in the three-lap race.

Max Judelson passed Wells in pursuit of Frederick, while contenders Maxx Chance and Justin Robinson, who broke a chain, faded.

Corey Stelljes and Brian West completed the wide-angle podium.

Frederick’s win completes an impressive comeback, not only from his 2019 shoe malfunction but also from a brain injury. Frederick is currently running a fundraiser to support Love Your Brain.

Full results below.
