Birmingham: Grace Brown delivered a commanding performance to win women’s time trial gold for Australia.
The 30-year-old beat England’s Anna Henderson by 33.35 seconds around the 28.8km course which started and finished in Wolverhampton’s West Park.
Bronze went to New Zealand’s Georgia Williams, who was one minute and 20 seconds adrift of Brown’s winning time of 40.05.20.
Henderson admitted she could net get close to Brown and was satisfied to take a Commonwealth silver.
“Silver was the best I could do today. Some of the corners were a bit hairy, I’m really pleased with the way I paced it and really pleased with the way I feel,” she said.
“Grace is really strong and a world-class TT rider so I’m pretty pleased to be that close to her. I’m just coming out of the Tour and I feel rubbish so I’m pleased just going round and feeling good on my bike.”
