Gila Stage 3: Alisha in 11th after TT


Dave says: We knew the individual time trial would be a tough stage but all things considered, I think it went pretty well. World Champ Kristin Armstrong smashed the old course record and Alisha says Kristin was just flying when she went by. Despite some crazy crosswinds, racers were allegedly hitting speeds approaching 50 mph (60 mph for the men) on the descents. Alisha finished 24th and moved to 11th in the GC. I've got to get her some better TT'ing equipment like some deep wheels and a carbon TT rig to compete at this level. Tomorrow is the crit where hopefully everything will stay together before the final road race splits things to pieces. VeloNews.
