Redlands Bicycle Classic 2015 Stage 2

Tom Zirbel (Optum-Kelly Benefit Strategies) and Rhea Shaw (BMW-Happy Tooth Dental) won the men’s and women’s Individual Time Trial at this year’s Redlands Bicycle Classic at Big Bear Lake, California yesterday.

Zirbel set the fastest time of 9:45, besting Chris Barton’s (KHS-Maxxis) previous mark that was set earlier in the race.

In the women’s race,  Shaw set a mark that withstood challenges throughout the day.  

Meanwhile, Jasmin Glaesser (Optum-Kelly Benefit Strategies) finished second, at 7.78 seconds behind Shaw. However, her performance in the ITT, netted first place in the overall general classification.

As result, Allie Dragoo (Twenty16-Sho-Air), now sits in second place, 3 seconds behind Glaesser. 

“Stoked to take my first ever yellow jersey @redlandsClassic today! Big thanks to @OPTUMpbKBS for dialling me in and inspiring speedy rides!” Glaesser said on Twitter.
