May 20, 2016 (Folsom, CA) – Top contender and Australian national champion, Rohan Dennis (BMC Racing Team), did not disappoint unseating both American speed kings, Andrew Talansky and Taylor Phinney from the proverbial “hot seat” in the men’s 20.3km ITT at Stage 6 in Folsom.

Two years ago here Bradley Wiggins (Gbr) Team Wiggins beat both Dennis and Phinney on almost the same course – his time then was almost a minute faster at 23:18, with much lighter winds. But today he broke his extended aero TT bars early in the race and was a non factor. Wiggins is a man of theatre as well bringing in his “top secret” bike with towels draped over it until the last minute. Expectations were high for “Wiggo” today, but so far, this year’s edition has not been his race, as he finished 92nd today.

Canadian Rob Britton (Rally) came in a disappointing 27th today at 1:30 behind Dennis. The BC rider was noticeably frustrated with his performance, hoping for a better result. Jordan Cheyne (Jelly Belly) took 59th while Adam de Vos (Rally), who spent a huge chunk of energy yesterday came in 87th. Antoine Duchese (Direct Energy) and William Routley (Rally) crossed the line in 108 and109th respectively at four seconds apart. Pierre Naud (Rally) finished 121st while Ryan Anderson is under the weather and did not start.

 

Tomorrow’s race in Santa Rosa features five summits and promises to shake up the GC – stay tuned.
