Creed finished in sixth place, one minute and 27 seconds behind David Zabriskie (Garmin-Chipotle presented by H30), who won the event for the third consecutive year. Zabriskie was five seconds faster than runner-up Tom Zirbel (Bissell Pro Cycling) over the 20.7-mile (33.3 km) course that circled the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR).
“I wasn’t feeling good coming in and I didn’t feel all that great during the race, so it was kind of about what I expected,” Creed said.
Sergio Hernandez was Rock Racing’s other participant in the time trial. Six others – three-time national road race champion Fred Rodriguez, Tyler Hamilton, Kayle Leogrande, Doug Ollerenshaw, Adam Switters and Jeremiah Wiscovitch – will join Creed and Hernandez in Sunday’s 110-mile (177 km) national championship road race.
As a high-profile sponsor of the race weekend that awards stars-and-stripes jerseys in the road and time trial disciplines, Rock Racing presented Saturday night’s “Greenville Rocks” public concert and athlete/VIP reception. Hundreds of fans turned out for a twilight outdoor concert at the Peace Center outdoor amphitheater.
