Chloé Dygert of the United States stormed to victory in the women's elite time trial at the World Championships on Thursday in Stirling, Scotland. She set a fast early time, which could not be beaten over the 36.2km course, despite the all-out efforts of some of the best riders in the world.

It took until the penultimate rider set off for someone to come within a minute of the American's time, as Grace Brown of Australia powered up the final climb in Stirling to finish less than six seconds off Dygert's effort.
