Stage 2 - June 11: Confederation bridge (ITT), 28.8km
Safi-Pasta continues to lead
By Kirsten Robbins in Cavendish, Canada
Safi Pasta's Lithuanian national champion Diana Ziliute took over the lead of the Tour de PEI after stage two's twenty-eight kilometer individual time trial over the Confederation Bridge.
The riders were greeted with a strong wind for the event and with no place for the riders to hide due to the time trial being held on the Confederation Bridge, it was a true test to find the strongest rider in the race.
"This was the toughest time-trial I've ever done," explained one rider from the Expresscopy.com team after finishing the stage.
Diana Ziliute the event that could be described as like riding in a wind tunnel in a time of 46:20 which gave her an average speed of thirty-eight kilometers per hour. Ziliute is predominantly recognized for her sprinting prowess and this win took her fans and competitors alike by surprise. Her time was 53 seconds faster than second place Olivia Gollan (Menikini-Selle Italia) and 59 seconds faster than third placed rider Edwinge Pitel (Uniqua).
