Great Britain’s Helen Wyman successfully defended her European cyclo-cross title on Sunday in the Czech Republic as Nikki Harris finished second.
Wyman crossed the line one minute and 11 seconds ahead of British cyclo-cross champion Harris in Mladá Boleslav.
Wyman, 32, had launched her solo attack within the first lap of the 40 minute race and held on to secure back-to-back titles with Harris completing the British one-two on the podium.
On her website, Wyman wrote: “It felt great to defend the title, particularly in Czech Republic where I’d had such a forgettable ride the weekend before.
“I’d taken 30 seconds by the end of the first lap, and entering the last lap with 1 minute 15, I took the decision to have a “play it safe” lap and try not to put a foot wrong.”
Wyman’s victory in the 14 rider field comes on the back of wins at Superprestige Ruddervoorde and Koppenbergcross.
