April 21, 2017 – Lex Albrecht (Can) Team Tibco-Silicon Valley Bank led the Canadian women again finishing 16th in the women’s 26km Stage 3 Tyrone ITT won by Leah Thomas (USA) Sho-Air Twenty20 with a time of 38:27, six seconds ahead of race leader Tayler Wiles (UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling). Julie Emmerman (Amy D Foundation) claimed third place, 56 seconds back. Thomas is now 2nd overall while Albrecht sits 14th on the GC.
Unfortunately, the Rally Cycling team was dealt a blow when Canadian Sara Bergen, sitting fifth in the general classification, crashed out of the race with a suspected broken collarbone and went to the local hospital for further evaluation.
As usual, the out and back Tyrone time trial was met with blustery winds and rolling terrain allowing little to no room for error for the GC contenders, separated by just seconds.
Alison Tetrick was one of the early riders to claim the hot seat with a time of 40:52, but the Cylance rider was quickly replaced by Brianna Walle (Tibco) who rode the course 1 minute and 7 seconds faster. Walle’s teammate, Kate Buss did a stellar ride to slot into second, but the results changed as quickly as the last few riders on GC came through the finish.
When Thomas completed her ride, her time was good enough to stand against 2015 winner Lauren Stephens, best young rider Ruth Winder and eventually Wiles, who nearly caught her teammate, Katie Hall, at the line.
“This is a really hard time trial,” Wiles said. “I haven’t done it in five years and that year I flatted so I wanted to redeem myself. Before the race, I talked to my coach about a pacing strategy. I think I executed it pretty well. I may have gone a little too deep because on the downhill before the finish I was just dying. I lost that top spot on the podium by 5 seconds, which hurts a little, but I’m really excited for the rest of the race, and we’re really confident.”
The jersey classifications remain the same going into the downtown Silver City criterium tomorrow. Wiles retains the lead and sprint jersey, Melinda McCutcheon (Visit Dallas DNA) leads the mountains classification and Winder sits comfortably in the lead of the best young rider competition.
