The 2009 Tour of Missouri Individual Time Trial was an exciting event that had a major impact on the overall race. Racers spent the day cycling the roads of Sedalia and Pettis County in the man against clock stage of the '09 Tour.
Completing the rolling, 19-mile course in just over 37 minutes, the Individual Time Trial at the Missouri State Fairgrounds proved to be a playground for four-time U.S. Pro ITT champion David Zabriskie, winning by 14 seconds over Sweden's Gustav Larsson (Saxo Bank). Tom Zirbel (Bissell Pro Cycling) finished third, another 28 seconds behind Zabriskie. The Tour of Missouri win at Stage 5, presented by Missouri's Electric Cooperatives, propelled the Garmin-Slipstream rider into the Missouri Tourism Leader's Jersey heading into the final weekend.
Zabriskie went on to win the 2009 Tour of Missouri on Sunday, September 13, 2009 in Kansas City. He took the lead in Sedalia at the Time Trial and never looked back.
