Heidi Franz (Instafund LaPrima) took out the opening stage of the 36th Redlands Bicycle Classic, winning the hilly Highlands Circuit in a small group sprint over Jennifer Wheeler (Fount Cycling Guild) and Emily Marcolini (3T/Q+M Cycling).

"It's really special because the last time I was at this race, I was racing for Rally at the time and we had just lost a teammate a month before," Franz said, remembering former teammate Kelly Catlin who died in 2019. "We won this stage with Megan Jastrab and it was so emotional. I just think of that every time I come here, and so it's super special to come back to this stage and be able to pull it off."

The Redlands Classic returned after two years of cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There are five stages for men and women, which are part of the USA Cycling Pro Road Tour.

The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
