168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ruth Winder (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Trek-Segafredo) soloed to victory Sunday at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:USA Cycling Pro Road Championships elite women's road race in Knoxville, Tennessee♒, going solo from a two-rider move on the penultimate lap and just holding off the reduced peloton led in by defending champion Coryn Rivera (Team Sunweb) ahead of Emma White (Rally UHC) on a hot and humid day in the Amer🍎ican Southeast.

Winder attacked with more thanꦦ 32km to go, bridging up to a breakaway and then distancing sole companion Lily Williams (Hagens Berman-Supermint) on the final steep 1km climb up Sherrod Road, then held off a charging peloton that nearly made contact on the final turn.

The Yorkshire-born American was thrilled to clai𒁏m her first national ti💮tle on the road since her junior years.

"The whole time I kept telling myself 'It's not over until it's over, just keep going' - trying to push until I saw the finish line. I thought for sure everyone is about to pass me and it was going to be one of those super dramatic finishes like in Rio when Mara [Abbott] was passed just❀ before the line, and then I looked around and was like, 'what?!'," Winder said.

"I knew I couldn't leave it to a sprint because Coryn Rivera, Alexis Ryan, Emma White are all so fast in the sprint. Tayler and I knew we had to start giving it a go. I didn't have a plan, necessarily, it was just a good moment to go and I ended up staying ♌away. You never know it's going to work until the end."

Last year, Rivera benefitted from the work of Wind🃏er when they were teammates on Sunweb, but▨ this time she was flying solo.

"It is hard on your own, but at least it's a worthy winner with Ruth," Rivera said. "We came so close to getting her so many times, I gave it my all on the last hill there. So close but it was just not enough. It goes to shᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚow that extra teamwork really makes a difference. I think she really deserved it. I had a gr🃏eat time in the stars and stripes and I will always remember that. I'll just have to go for it again next year."

White won the U23 Wo🍃men's title with her third place, topping Chloe Dygert (Sho-Air Twenty20) and Madeline Bemis (Milligan College) to take her third jersey of the eಞvent after winning the elite and U23 criterium titles.

"Last year I made a pretty big mistake and my wheel slid out in the last corne📖r, so all year I've been thinking about how I'm going to improve that last climb," ꦐWhite said. "I didn't slide my wheel out but I just didn't have enough to get Coryn.

"Being on the pro podium🧔 is really special, but the U23 title is also special because we have a strong generation coming ♉up. I'm really proud to wear this jersey," White said.

How it unfolded

Seventy-five women took the start for the 113.5km championship road race on a hot and sunny day in Knoxville, and right from the gun, the always-aggressive Hagens Berman-Supermin♔t squad launched their first attack with Julie Kuliecza jumping clear.

Kuliecza was chased for a time by Gabrielle Russell (Orion Racing) but remained solo until the second lap when her teammate Starla Teddergreen came ac🅺ross with Beth-Ann Orton (Instafund LaPrima). Once ca🐠ught, Kuliecza dropped back to the field, while Teddergreen and Orton built up a maximum lead of 4:15 before Rally UHC came to the fore to whittle down the gap.

W𓆉ith three laps to go, Trek-Segafredo'🍬s Tayler Wiles drove the pace up the Sherrod Road climb and through the feed zone, where her teammate Winder launched a counter.

Winder was ne𒊎arly caught, but she k🥃ept the pace up and was soon joined by Hagens Berman-Supermint's Lily Williams and Shayna Powless (Sho-Air Twenty20), who helped bring the move up to Teddergreen and Orton.

Having spent the better part of 100km off the front, Teddergreen and Orton😼 soon dropped off, leaving Winder and Williams away.

On the penultimate trip up Sherrod Road, Winder distanced Williams, but the criterium podium f🌳inisher clawed her way back to the Olympian.

Behind, there were only 34 riders left in t🌼he peloton, with most of Hagens Berman-Supermint massed near the fro🅺nt. The gap edged near the minute mark as Sho-Air Twenty20 came to the front for Chloe Dygert, but with one lap to go, the duo's lead was down to 40 seconds and the peloton single file behind Twenty20's Jennifer Luebke.

Oꦑn the final climb of Sherrod Road, Winder left Williams behind for good, but still faced 11 long kilometres and a 30-strong pelo🎀ton chasing hard behind.

"I told Lily I really have to go as hard as I can on this climb because I don't know 🥃how close they are, even though it would have been better for us to be together on the final lap," Winder said.

The chase behind was disorganised by a number of attacks,🎉 but Winder's teammate Wiles played a crucial role in her victory, getting to the front in the penultimate turn and slightly slowing the bunch. Rivera managed to get past and launched her sprint early, but narrowly missed catching Winder and had to settle for second.
