Cyclingnews bills Zirbel as “the Fastest US Domestic Time Trialist”
Once again, Tom Zirbel thundered his way to victory in the Cascade Classic stage 3 time trial. The 25k course was out-and-back with the initial part of the course uphill and a downhill return. Tom mastered the race in 32:05 with 11 seconds over 2nd place Ian McKissick (BMC) and 44 seconds over 3rd place Oscar Sevilla (Rock Racing). Rounding out the top five were BMC’s Jeff Louder and BISSELL’s New Zealand time trial champion, Jeremy Vennell. There was a bit of shuffling in the overall GC with Sevilla holding his place in the lead, but Louder bumping Mancebo (Rock Racing) down to third. Ben and Jeremy remain in the top ten and Ben is within 2 minutes of Sevilla. Friday’s Queen Stage is 132k beast finishing at the top of Mt. Bachelor and will surely provide opportunity for the powerful BISSELL climbers.
