Karol Ann Canuel has taken her first victory since joining Specialized-lululemon, winning the overall classification at the San Dimas Stage Race. After a good showing in the time trial on day one, the team had both Canuel and Tayler Wiles in the top three.
Day two was when Canuel made her move. Set up by an aggressive start by the rest of the team, she attacked with three laps remaining and soloed to the finish to take the yellow leaders jersey with one day remaining.
"We wanted to ride aggressively from the start to set up attacks," said teammate Loren Rowney. "By midway through the race there was a lot of attrition."
"I attacked and I realized I was alone," added Canuel. "I just gave everything I had to stay away."
With Karol Ann finishing solo and taking the lead, Tayler moved into second overall by way of sprint bonus seconds.
"I think it will be fast but we have a really good team here so I'm confident we will be able to defend the GC," said Karol Ann.
The final criterium saw the team defend the yellow jersey and take first and second overall.
"I think we had a great weekend to get this block of racing started," said sport director Ina-Yoko Teutenberg. "We got the best result possible and the girls rode well and made it happen."
