This year hasn't been stellar, results-wise, for Team CSC's David Zabriskie. But his second consecutive time-trial win at the 2007 USA Cycling Professional Championships on Saturday may have brightened things up a bit.
Zabriskie, who will continue to wear the national champion's stars-and-stripes jersey when he moves over to Team Slipstream-Chipotle next season, covered the 18.7-mile course in 39 minutes and 34 seconds - just a single tick of the clock faster than one of his teammates-to-be, former under-23 world time-trial champion Danny Pate. Another Slipstream rider, Tim Duggan, finished third at eight seconds back.
Sponsored by the Greenville Hospital System, the out-and-back time trial was held for the second time in the hills outside of Greenville, South Carolina. But this year's course did without last year's decidedly technical finish, now jokingly referred to as "Baldwin's corner," for the spot where Toyota-United's Chris Baldwin misjudged a turn and crashed.
