Zajicek takes lead with Bisbee time trial win
By Alan Fischer
Phil Zajicek (Fly V Australia) battled through buffeting 35 mile per hour winds to win Saturday afternoon's Warren Time Trial and take over the La Vuelta de Bisbee's general classification lead.
"It was absolutely a white-knuckle ride. It was terrifying," said Zajicek. "I didn't crash. I just wanted to go fast and get it over with."
Shawn Milne (Team Type 1) claimed second place, 31 seconds behind Zajicek, while team-mate Moises Chavez was a further two seconds behind. The entire field faced winds of 35 mph, with stronger gusts, over the rolling 7.2-mile course.
"There were several occasions I felt like I was going down," said GST Racing's Adrian Schumacher. "The gusting was absolutely awful."
After equaling the stage's third quickest time, Carter Jones (Team Waste Management) is tied for second place on general classification with Darren Lill (Team Type 1). The duo sit 36 seconds behind Zajicek with one stage remaining, but Zajicek feels fairly confident he can retain the race lead.
"It's probable that 36 seconds going into that stage is a big enough buffer," said Zajicek. "There are enough strong teams here to keep things together."
Sunday's 84.4 mile Tombstone Road Race includes the tough climb up Mule Pass before plunging down to the finish in downtown Bisbee.
