Evie Richards (Great Britain) made it two wins from two for Great Britain at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships with a▨ fantastic solo ride. Ceylin del Carmen Alvarꦦado (Netherlands) took silver, 38 seconds back, while bronze went to Nadia Heigl (Austria) at 1:04.

After Ben Tulett’s victory in the junior men&rsqu♔o;s race, all eyes were on 2016 U23 world champion Richards as the favourite to take the rainbow jersey. The 20-yea𝓰r-old won the Elite World Cup race at Namur in December, also finishing third at Hoogerheide last weekend.

Emma White (USA♕) led proceedings early on as Richards slipped in the thick mud, but it wasn’t long before she took to the front. Alvarado briefly ཧmade it a lead duo, but Richards was soon out front alone.

A twelve minute opening lap meant there would be three total, and at the end of the first Richards led by 21 seconds - a comfortable gap with no large group behind. Compatriot, a🐻nd Malvern clubmate, Harriet Harnden 🌌held the second spot - an impressive feat at just 16 years old.

Heigl and Alvarado were on a mission though - sweeping past White midway through the lap before hunting down Harnden before the start of the final lap. With Richards far up the road, it 🃏seemed as ไthough the main fight would be over who took silver, but there was some drama yet to come.

Starting her final lap, it was clear that Richards had a problem. With her derailleur stuck in the small cog, she was forced to spin her way round to the pits. With a smaller lead it might have been disastrous, but eventually she only lost a handful of seconds to the two chasers.
Alvarado pushed on the final lap, her effort proving too much for Heigl in t🦋he battle for silver having snuck up th𒉰e inside of an off-camber corner.

Richards’ efforts, meanwhile, proved too much for herself - after crossing the line she fainted and had to be carried away from her bike, while 84 seconds later Harnden continued a great day for Gඣreat Britain, taking fourth place.
