March 10:  Central Valley Classic California Belmont - Piedra ITT

Chris Baldwin?s fifth place finish for Toyota-United in Saturday?s Belmont-Piedra time trial moved him into third place overall at the Central Valley Cycling Classic. Baldwin is one of five Toyota-United riders in the top 20 overall with only Sunday?s 80-minute criterium remaining in the three-day, three-stage race. He sits 39 seconds out of the lead and 21 seconds behind second place rider Rory Sutherland (Health Net presented by Maxxis). Ben Jacques-Maynes (Priority Health) won the 16.5-mile (26.4 km) time trial in 35 minutes and two seconds. Baldwin was only 20 seconds slower, while his teammate, Ivan Stevic, finished sixth in a time of 36:00.
