Toronto Ashlin Barry took another big win at the US junior time trial championships in Charleston, West Virginia on Tuesday. The EF – Education ONTO rider won the 16.9 km-race in 20:39, averaging 49.1 km/h. He took the victory by three seconds over David Lapierre (Hot Tubes Cycling) and five seconds on his teammate, Noah Streif.

“I’m really happy with my ride yesterday and that I was able to win and to share the podium with my teammate Noah,” Barry said. “This was a huge target for me as it means I’m automatically qualified for the junior time trial world championships in Zurich which is super exciting. I have the nationals crit and road race coming up later this week before I go back to racing in Europe for two Nations Cup stage races. My legs seem to be pretty good so I’m really looking forward to racing more the next couple weeks!”
