Zoe Bäckstedt took her second time trial victory of the week on Saturday, the Canyon-SRAM rider winning stage 3a of the Baloise Ladies Tour. The British rider's win came on the back of her win in Wednesday's prologue, and propels her back into the overall lead.

Starting as the penultimate rider off the ramp, Bäckstedt covered the pan-flat 8.4km course in 10.08, 13 seconds faster than Australian champion Felicity Wilson-Haffenden (Lidl-Trek), with Lotte Kopecky a further seven seconds down in third.
