Junior Women Time Trial

Elinor Barker gave the GB Cycling Team a great start to the World Road Championships with second place in an extremely tight Junior Women's Time Trial. Finishing under 2 seconds down on the winner, Jessica Allen of the Australian team, Barker was one second clear of third placed Mieke Kronger of Germany - all three medallists were over 12 second clear of the rest of the field.

Seventeen year old Barker is from Cardiff and is the current national Junior pursuit champion and earlier in the year won a silver medal in the same discipline at the European Junior championships.
