Harivov, Czech Republic, 2 May 2015 - Individual Time Trial World Champion Lisa Brennauer has taken her first win wearing the rainbow stripes in today's Stage 3 at Gracia Gracia Orlová tour in Harivov. Brennauer stopped the clock in 17:46.49 for the 13.5 kilometre time trial. Incredibly Velocio-SRAM took the top five places in the stage with Trixi Worrack +3.82 seconds and Alena Amialisuik +10.45 seconds to finish second and third respectively. 
 
The 13.5 kilometre stage saw a flat out and back course. Early rain in the morning had cleared and all riders had dry conditions. Brennauer said, "I'm really happy about my ITT victory! I went as hard as I could from the beginning because it was such a short distance. It took me a while to find my rhythm and time trial's that short in distance are not so easy. We had a lot of support from our staff working here at the Tour and the overall team performance was great!"
 
Karol-Ann Canuel finished in fourth position and Elise Delzenne fifth making the top five places in the stage belong to Velocio-SRAM. Amialisuik will keep the yellow leaders jersey for the afternoon stage in the overall classification. This afternoon in Stage 4 the riders will have a short 63.5 kilometre stage for another uphill finish.

Visalage, Czech Republic, 2 May 2015 - Karol-Ann Canuel has capped off an incredible day for Velocio-SRAM by taking the team's second stage win at Gracia Orlová today in Visalage. In the morning stage ITT World Champion Lisa Brennauer won Stage 3, a 13.5km ITT and the team filled the top five places. Canuel continued the run of wins by powering to a solo victory in Stage 4 this afternoon. Alena Amialisuik finished second on the stage and Eugenia Bujak rounded out the podium in third.
 
 
The afternoon was a short stage with just 63.5 kilometres from Detmarovice to Visalage, but finished with a 7 kilometre climb. There were some early attacks by the German Maxx Solar team but nothing was able to stay away. The peloton was all together when Canuel created a break with a well-timed attack. Five riders were in the initial break but Canuel felt that it wasn't going to stay away and decided to go solo. "I was feeling good and I saw an opportunity to go in the last 8 kilometres and I just went full gas. I really wanted to win and I'm happy it worked out," said Canuel.  "The team had an amazing day and it's great to be part of such a good group."
 
 
Team Director Sportif Beth Duryea was very pleased with the efforts of the team today. "The team was dominant in the time trial and to fill the top five places was pretty incredible. In the afternoon stage our goal was of course to defend the yellow jersey. Karol-Ann overcome some bad luck earlier in the tour and she did a great ride today. The break she was in would never have been the winning move if she had not attacked again. It simply would have come back together. Her move was aggressive and it's a style of racing we like to see," said Duryea.
 
 
Amialiusik holds on to the leaders jersey with one stage remaining in the Gracia Orlová Tour. She has an advantage of +21 seconds over team mate Trixi Worrack, while Eugenia Bujak is +35 seconds in third position. Tomorrow is the last stage of 100.2 kilometre with 6 circuits in the town of Orlová, starting at 10:00. Follow the team Twitter account @velociosports for live race updates.
