Alena Amialiusik (Belarus) may have been the fifth women to start in the Elite Women's Individual Time Trial, but she was the second to cross the first time check on the 30 kilometer course. With having passed so many who started before her it is no surprise that she set the early best time out on course. She just got around Olga Shekel (Lithuania), who was setting the second best time with her effort. Amialiusik carried her advantage all of the way to the finish atop Parliment Street in Harrogate. And advantage she held through another 29 riders ending her day in ninth overall.
