Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio gave the CCC-Liv team its second consecutive victory in the Zwift Tour for All, following up Marianne Vos' win on stage 1 with a powerful surge on the final climb of Zwift's simulation of the 2015 Richmond worlds course.

Moolman-Pasio pushed CCC-Liv to a one-point advantage over Tibco-Silicon Valley Bank in the standings, with Canyon-SRAM a distant 42 points behind.

"I had to work for it," Moolman-Pasio said. "It was super exciting and I loved it."

The South African and her teammate Vos tag-teamed the intermediate sprint bonuses, taking turns to grab the QOM points that added to the team's tally in the overall classification. 

"I'm lucky enough to have experience hacing raced Zwift classics," Moolman-Pasio said. "I've spent several weeks on Zwift during the lockdown in Spain. I wanted to make the race as hard as possible together with my teammates so the final attack, which I planned to do on the final climb. I was lucky enough to have a feather to help me out."
