Virginia's Blue Ridge Twenty24 took a clean sweep the women's stage 3 of the Redlands Bicycle Classic as Emily Ehrlich won the Route 66 time trial ahead of teammates Melisa Rollins and Laurel Quiñones.
Ehrlich took the win by 15 seconds from Rollins with Quiñones a further 14 seconds back in third.
“You never expect to win but you hope for it,” Ehrlich said. “I love the TT, I’ve been working on it so much so I’ve been hyping it up. There’s so many positive feelings I have; I was just leaving it out there.”
“The race was very hard, with the crosswinds,” Prieto said. “I went with my TT bike which was a good decision. I learned I had secured the jersey shortly after finished, I was so happy. It’s going to be difficult to defend, tomorrow we have the crit and then Sunset Loop, but we will do our best to remain in yellow.”
