The six-time medalist in the women's individual time trial came up short of the podium this morning, finishing in sixth on the rainy Norwegian course. Her time trial showing was extremely consistent, clocking in seventh through the opening time check, improving to fifth after navigating the course's sole climb, and settling for sixth at the line. Also in action overnight were Team Skoda and Cycling New Zealand Performance Hub duo Ben Hamilton and Oscar Elworthy in the men's junior individual time trial. Elworthy finished one minute and 20 seconds behind the winner, Great Britain's Thomas Pidcock, while Hamilton was a further 24 seconds back.
