Great Britain’s Zoe Backstedt captured the junior women’s time trial title at the UCI Road World Championships in Wollongong, Australia, blistering the 14.1km course in 18:26.
The 17-year-old secured the rainbow stripes with a dazzling ride that was 1:35 minutes faster than runner-up Justyna Czapla (Germany) and Febe Jooris (Belgium), who was another 13 seconds back in third.
Backstedt, who has signed with EF Education-TIBCO-SVB, was the clear favourite, having taken the silver medal in the junior women’s TT in Flanders last year, and then won the junior women’s road race days later.
More to come.
