March 27, 2017 (San Dimas, California) – Canada’s Jordan Cheyne (Jelly Belly p/b Maxxis) finished second overall in the Pro-1 Men’s final GC as he placed 7th in the final Stage 3 Men’s criterium just behind fellow Canuck Ryan Aitcheson (First Internet Bank Cycling) in 5th. Australian Michael Rice (Axeon Hagens Berman) took the win.

Cheyne started the day in 3rd at 20 seconds behind race leader Kyle Murphy (Cylance Pro Cycling) and 17 seconds down on Conner Brown (Elevate-KHS Pro Cycling) in second. Murphy, however, did not make the break, opening the door for Brown to take the overall, 17 seconds ahead of Cheyne, with Carpenter rounding out the podium in 3rd at 20 seconds back. Canadian Robert Gutgesell (Trek Red Truck Racing) finished 12th overall at 1:42 back, while Aitcheson finished 16th at 1:48 behind the winner.

Meghan Grant (The Cyclery-4iiii) was the top Canadian on the final Stage 3 criterium finishing 12th with Diane Moug (Folsom Bike/Trek) 13th and Emily Flynn (The Cyclery-4iiii) 20th.  Megan Jastrab (Swami’s Jr Development) won the stage over Holly Breck (Sho-Air TWENTY20) in second and Christina Birch (SkyFlash Racing) in third.

Moug finished 4th overall as the final GC overall win went to Krista Doebel-Hickok (Cylance Pro Cycling) ahead of Marcela Prieto in second at 1:24 back, and Veronica Leal (both CONADE-Visit Mexico-Specalized) in third with the same time.
