168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alice Towers 🍸(Le Col-Wahoo) held off the elements and a host of more experienced rivals toꦡ claim a stunning victory in the elite women's road race at the British championships. 

T♐he 19꧂-year-old was short on experience but high on strength and courage, going clear from all of 40km out and soloing through the driving rain. 

Towers finished more than a minute clear of the rest, w🔯ith 💯Pfeiffer Georgi (DSM) winning the dash for second place ahead of Anna Henderson (Jumbo-Visma).

The Scotland route totalled 128km with two laps of a 23km loop followed by six laps of the 13.5km finishing circuit. There were no major climbs but the roads were typically r𓃲olling and grippy. 

The conditions were typically British, too, with strong winds🌺 and strong rain. There was just one breakaway rider but things came back together with 60km to go. 

Hendersꩵon then created the first real selection, but Le Col-Wahoo had significant numbers and s꧑ent Towers on the attack with three laps to go. It turned out to be the winning move, as the chase group drifted back to the peloton and the gap went up above two minutes. 

👍The spirit of the chase ebbed and flowed but Towers never faltered and finished off a remarkable first elite title. She also claimed the U23 title in the proces𝐆s, with Georgi also taking silver there, while Elynor Backstedt took bronze. 

"I can't really believe it happened," Towers said. "It's actually the first time I've ever won a road race, so to win the nation🥃al championships is really special.

"It was very spontaneous," she said of her attack. "It probably was the best thing to do at the time with the conditions, being out front was better than being in the bunch. The time get going out and kilometres kept coming ♏down. All I could do was keep plugging away."
