Emily Ehrlich (Virginia's Blue Ridge TWENTY28) held off Olympic road race champion Kristen Faulkner (EF Education-Oatly) to win the women's elite time trial title at the USA Cycling Pro Road National Championships in Charleston, West Virginia.
Ehrlich scorched the course with a time of 43:04 to move Alia Shafi (Fount Cycling Guild) out of the hot seat with only one rider to finish, last year's runner-up Faulkner. The EF Education rider crossed the line 27 seconds off the pace of Ehrlich to finish with the silver medal for a second consecutive time. Shafi's time was good for the bronze.
