Emma Pooley (Great Britain) pulled out a strong ride in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:UCI World Championships to secure a bronze medal in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:women's time trial. Although she fell short of defending her rainbow jersey, she admitted that she was satisfied with a ride tha🔯t was run over a similar route to London's 2012 Olympic course.

"For me I'm pleased because London isn't mountainous and this shows to me and gives me a positive boost that I can get💦 a result. Nothing is in the bag but potentially if I'm selected, it's something I can do," she said at the post-race press conference.

"The Olympics are huge, especially for𝔍 women's cycling because we don't have a Tour de Franꦺce, it's the biggest event in the world for us."

Pooley has had another successful year on the road, tallying up eight victories, all despite missing a chunk of the seaso﷽n through injury, and the fact that several women's racesಌ have been slashed from the international calendar.

"I'm very pleased to be on the podium," she said.

"This time last year🦹 I would have been very lucky to have been in the top 10 on this course so maybe it looks like a worse result but last year the course was hilly and that broke it up. I think I've improved my time trialing and done better on a course that doesn't really su🍎it me."

"The result isn't as good but I'm pleased. You can't change your ph🎶ysioloﷺgy."

Pooley will hꦗeadline the women's road race on Sunday but with another flat course on the menu the likelihood will be a sprint finish, somethiꦑng she isn't suited to. However, she stressed that despite the course she would be a more than willing teammate for one of Great Britain's sprinters.
