The 21-year-old cyclist, who grew up in Decatur, clinched two important races over Labor Day weekend, the second being the US 100K Classic on Monday morning at Marietta, and also celebrated his landmark birthday.
Rosskopf, who attends the University of Georgia and races for Team Mountain Khakis, faced tougher competition Monday after winning a shorter race at the Tour de La France in Anderson, S.C. on Saturday.
He was in a group of three that took a substantial lead with roughly 15 miles remaining in the race and didn't solidify the lead until the last 100 yards. He raised his arms in celebration after crossing the finish line.
