Defending champion Tyler Stites set the fastest time on Toyota of Redlands Lake Perris time trial at the Redlands Classic for the third year in succession. His Project Echelon teammate Brendan Rhim was second, 15 seconds back and Joe Laverick (Ribble Rebellion) was four hundreds of a second slower for third place.

“It was a really fun course today, lots of twists and turns which was completely different than last year’s straight out and back,” Stites said after finishing. “I didn’t know if I was going to perform the same. I had a lot of fun out there in the turns and giving it my all.”
