May 15, 2015 (Santa Clarita, California) – Tara Whitten led the Canadian charge finishing 6th behind winner Evelyn Stevens (USA) Boels Dolmans Cycling Team who triumphed at the 10.62km Amgen Tour of California Women’s Invitational ITT presented by SRAM.

Lauren Stephens (USA) Team Tibco – SVB was second and Kristin Armstrong (USA) Twenty 16 p/b Sho-Air was 3rd. The time trial was moved from Big Bear Lake to Santa Clarita due to threats of snow.

“Today was incredible. I live in California, so to race in my home state is really special… And just to go bombing through the gate to Six Flags [Magic Mountain] was really fun,” said Stevens. “It’s really special to be out here and to race on the same day as the men with all these amazing fans… it’s just a sign that women’s cycling is continuing to grow.”
