Stage 2 - March 19: Glendora Chevrolet Mountain Time Trial, 4.8miles
|
The time trial course was shortened today from 8.5 miles to only 4.8 miles due to the half washed out road on the upper section of the climb. The organization wanted to keep the original course but the park officials refused permission as they thought it was too dangerous for riders descending on the flooded side after they had finished.
Winning the women's race was T-Mobile rider Kristin Armstrong, demonstrating her natural climbing ability, with Chris Horner (Webcor) taking the men's event by a convincing minute over the next best rider.
Horner was disappointed, when Cyclingnews caught up with him a few days ago, that the course had been shortened, but judging by his win today, things worked out quite well for him. Due to yesterday's cancelled race, Horner now leads the tour by one minute with today's placings also doubling as the general classification.
Coming in a minute down on Horner was Cesar Grajalas (Jittery Joe's), who is backing up his great form late last year with a strong early season. Scott Moninger (Health Net presented by Maxxis) came in to take the final podium position, two seconds behind Grajalas.
In the women's event Armstrong made it to the end of the uphill course 19 seconds faster that Quark's Lyne Bessette, with Erin Mirabella (Red 5 Racing) coming off a successful World Cup track meet in Mexico last weekend to take third place. Bessette is now the leader of the race, after her second place in yesterday's circuit race with Armstrong in second and Palmer-Komar in third overall.

Cyclingnews caught up with Armstrong after the race who was very happy with her win. "I felt really good out there," she said, "although I would have preferred the course to be longer. But I obviously like to climb so I'm happy."
Originally Armstrong was supposed to head to Italy for the Primavera Rosa World Cup which takes place on Sunday, but plans were changed and she stayed home to compete in Pomona and Redlands. "It's fun being here," she explained. "With only a day between when Pomona finishes and Redlands starts, these few weeks are a good chance for me to get some good racing miles and climbs into my legs."
Armstrong will certainly be going after the time bonus points in tomorrow's road race in an attempt to take the overall lead from Bessette. "With the help of my team, I'll definitely try." Tomorrow riders face the Incyle Puddingstone Road Race, which is 74 miles for the women and 96 miles for the men. The race consists of many time bonus sprints giving riders the chance to move up on their rival's mid-race.
