Ellen van Dijk (Netherlands) has defended her time trial jersey in style, beating home favourite Grace Brown (Australia) in a thrilling opening to the world championships in Australia. The Dutchwoman was the final rider on the time trial course, powering home to win by just over 12 seconds from the Commonwealth Games champion Brown, with Marlen Reusser (Switzerland) taking third.
The 35-year-old clocked 44 minutes 28.60 seconds over the 34.2-kilometre course through the suburban streets of the coastal city south of Sydney to claim her third world title. The gold medal made Van Dijk the second most successful rider in the history of the women's world championships behind France's Jeannie Longo, who won four titles between 1995 and 2001. "It was a really difficult course and I really didn't expect to win it, I didn't think it was the perfect course for me," said van Dyke, who claimed her first title in 2013. "But I just thought I've had a great year in the rainbow jersey and I'll just give it all today. I had no idea how I was riding. Honestly, I was so surprised when I crossed the finish line."
