“These women are incredible. Katie retained her road race World Championship title in style.

“Katie and Linda got a puncture in the second lap of the five laps in the race.

“They had to stop and change their wheel. They were a minute down on the pack and another minute down from the race leaders.

“They caught up with the pack over the third lap. Then went off on their own to chase the leaders.The pair caught them on the fourth lap, carried on past them to win the race by a winning margin of nearly two minutes. Unbelievable!”
