5pm EDT - Napa World Cup Report

The women's time trial has started. We are awaiting the first report of who the leaders are. The top ranked riders will be going last.

The weatherman has been calling for 'miserable' weather but, fortunately for the riders and spectators, it has failed to materialize. It is about 12 degrees and while there are clouds, blue sky is very visible.

The racers will cover 1 lap of tomorrow's race course, with the short loop at the Shimano Psychedelic Flyover not included.
