April 24, 2015 (Fayetteville, Arkansas) – Canada’s reigning triple road champ, Leah Kirchmann (Optum Kelly Benefit Strategies), took the win in the women’s 102.99km Stage 2 Road Race over Coryn Rivera (USA) UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team in second with Mandy Heintz (USA) Fearless Femme p/b Haute Wheels Racing third. This was Kirchmann’s first individual victory in 2015 and she is now 4th overall.

“This was my first UCI sprint win of the season – my first 2015 victory was the 2015 US team time trial nationals. It was definitely a confidence boost moving forward in the season. The win moved me up to 4th overall in GC, I’m excited to see what else the team can accomplish with two more stages to go,” Kirchmann told Pedal post-race.

UnitedHealthcare’s John Murphy (USA) won the men’s 177.02km race with Hincapie Racing teammates
Ty Magner (USA) and Dion Smith (Nzl) second and third respectively. Ryan Roth (Silber Pro Cycling) was the top Canuck in 6th followed by Peter Disera (Can) H&R Block Pro Cycling Team in 7th and Guillaume Boivin (Can) Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies in 8th. Roth is 6th overall.
