The Netherlands showed their intent by taking the first gold of the Yorkshire World Championships with a dominant display in the new mixed relay team time trial.

The likes of Amy Pieters, Lucinda Brand and Bauke Mollema won the first edition of the event ahead of Germany, with Great Britain taking bronze after Elisa Longo Borghini punctured in the closing kilometres, ultimately costing the Italians at least the five seconds they lost by.

>>> Aigul Gareeva takes wrong turn but still claims women’s junior time trial world title

We should have known with the first individual event that it was going to be a drama-filled week in Yorkshire, as Russia's Aigul Gareeva took a wrong turn in the final couple of kilometres, mistaking the advertising hoarding along barriers leading to a dead end for the 13.7km circuit. However, such was the strength of her performance that she still won ahead of Shirin van Anrooij (Netherlands), while Britain's Ely Bäckstedt took another bronze for the home nation.

Another remarkable time trial performance from the junior category. This time Italy's Antonio Tiberi suffered a mechanical right off the start ramp, needing a bike change at the first corner before also fighting through traffic in the run-in to the finish to take the world title.

The elite women's time trial was expected to be the first of two battles between Dutch heavyweights Anna van der Breggen and Annemiek van Vleuten. However, the duo from the Netherlands had to settle for silver and bronze as American Chloe Dygert destroyed the field, setting an infernal pace around the Harrogate course.

Having not raced since his bizarre mid-stage abandonment at the Tour de France, Rohan Dennis had a point to prove. The Australian put more than a minute into the next fastest time posted by 19-year-old Belgian Remco Evenepoel as he retained his TT rainbow bands.

Quinn Simmons showed his class after riding alone to the finish line in Harrogate, having attacked from a breakaway group with 30km remaining and solo-ing to the finish. The American was handed a stars and stripes flag which he held aloft across the line, his hands folded into devil horns as the 18-year-old made the most of his moment.

Drama erupted at the climax of the U23 men's road race after Dutchman Nils Eekhoff was disqualified after drafting his team car for more than two minutes back up to the peloton after a crash where he had dislocated his shoulder.

After a lengthy review of camera footage, the jury instead awarded the victory to Italy's Samuele Battistella, with Britain's Tom Pidcock also benefitting as he rose from fourth place to take the bronze medal.

Annemiek van Vleuten put in a historic 100km solo breakaway to claim her first Worlds road race title at the age of 36. The Dutchwoman attacked as Lizzie Deignan led a futile chase group behind, as Van Vleuten finished two minutes ahead of compatriot Anna van der Breggen who took silver.

>>> Mads Pedersen takes shock victory at Yorkshire 2019 World Championships

It was impressive more than anything that the conditions managed to turn even more apocalyptic for the final event of a damp week in Yorkshire.

Philippe Gilbert crashed out for Belgium and only 46 out of 197 riders finished the reduced course as Denmark's Mads Pedersen took an unexpected victory.

The 23-year-old beat the far more experienced Matteo Trentin, out-sprinting the Italian to claim the final rainbow jersey of the Yorkshire World Championships.

Hi. I'm Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor. I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.


Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).


I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
