15 miles

The BISSELL Pro Cycling Team proved to the world that they are the dominating domestic team in the time trail discipline with 3 of their riders placing in the top 20. Peter Latham was BISSELL’s first rider to test the day and rode the 15 mile course in 33 minutes 23 seconds.  Frank Pipp took on the course next and rode a great time trial placing 32nd on the day. The reigning New Zealand National Time Trail Champion, Jeremy Vennell, was the first BISSELL rider to break the top twenty when he scorched the course coming in 17th with a time of 32’00”. The massive crowds were captured when Tom Zirbel took to the start ramp. All eyes followed Tom’s ride as he came through with the fastest time. Tom finished the day with the 7th best time beating riders such as Lance Armstrong and Christian VandeVelde. BISSELL’s final rider was Ben Jacques-Maynes who has consistently placed well in the Tour of California Time Trial and this year was no exception. Ben placed 11th in today’s race against the clock.

The BISSELL Pro Cycling Team was the fifth fastest team in the time trail and were the highest placed domestic team. Congratulations on an outstanding day!
