Teenage British sensation Cat Ferguson dominated the women's junior time trial at the World Championships on Tuesday morning to take her first rainbow jersey on the road.
The 18-year-old was fastest at the first time check and extended her lead at the finish to 34 seconds over second-placed Viktória Chladoňová of Slovakia, with GB's Imogen Wolff in third, a further two seconds back. The pair took home GB's first medals of the Road Worlds, although Dame Sarah Storey has already secured a rainbow jersey in Zürich.
