Britain’s Josh Tarling broke Australian hearts in the men’s junior time trial at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Road World Championships, snatching the world tꦬitle from Hamish McKenzie after the Australian had held the hot seat after his own excellent ride.
Tarling started fast, lost a 🤪few seconds after catching his minute-man but then finished fast to stop the clock in 34:59.
McKenzie set 35:18 and watched as m🍃ost of his rivals failed to beat him but was in agony as Tarling was faster at the time checks. Emil Herzog (Germany) finished fast to take bronze in a time of 35:32. The USA's Artem Shmidt finished sixth, 1:37 dow on Tarling.
Tarling only turns 19 in Febru🧸ary but will ride for Ineos Grenadiers in 2023 as the🐭 British team continues to sign some of the best young talent in the world.
The Welsman won a silver medal last year but stepped up on the podium and pulled on the r💃ainbow jersey just hours after Zoe Backstedt won the junior women’s title giving Britain two🐽 rainbow jerseys.
“It definitely hasn’t sunk in yet, it just feels like a relief, there was so much hard work. I was a bit annoyed after 🥂last year and I really wanted it,🅘” Tarling said.
“I had a bi🍌t of a bad start to📖 the season with injuries and feeling empty but from halfway through the year it has been all for this.
Tarling explained hi🥃s high-speed ride on the 28.8km two-lap cour꧒se around Wollongong.
"The first lap is important because it feels like it’s all uphill at the start, especᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚially with the headwind. I was just trying to go as hard as I could over that first climb and then 🐲it was downhill with a tailwind to the finish," he said.
"I was hurting but when I started to see Verbrugghe I eased off a bit. I took it a bit too easy and then ha𓃲d to kick for the last few sections. It ♔was mainly all about the corners and trying to get them perfect.”
Tarling will only celebrated with family and his Great Britain te🎐a🌳mmates after the junior road race on Friday.
"We need to get another result in that and after th♔at I'll go home and celebrate, though maybe we'll 🐟celebrate with the team now a little bit too."
