Scott Zwizanski is one of the new faces pulling on the UnitedHealthcare skinsuit after the team expanded to join the Pro Continental ranks in 2011. After just one hour in the saddle of his new prototype Boardman time trial bike, the 2010 runner-up to David Zabriskie at the U.S. national time trial championship proved his place amongst his new teammates Thursday with a podium ride against the clock at the Tour de San Luis.
Xavier Tondo pulled the double Thursday, winning the 19.5km individual time trial and claiming the overall leader’s jersey at the Tour de San Luís in Argentina. U.S. time trial specialist Scott Zwizanski (UnitedHealthcare) is third in the stage.
