Cycling: Marlen Reusser won silver for Switzerland in the individual time trial at the World Championships. The 29-year-old only had to admit defeat to Anna van der Breggen from the Netherlands.
Bad luck for defending champion Chloe Dygert
The new world champion in the individual time trial is called Anna van der Breggen. In the absence of Annemiek van Vleuten, the Dutchwoman won the 31,7-kilometer battle against the clock by a margin of 15 seconds. The Swiss can decide about silver Marlene Reusser be happy. The Dutch woman was third ellen van dijk before the German Lisa Brennauer, who both finished 31 and 45 seconds behind the lucky winner on the race track in Imola. However, it should not go unmentioned that the defending champion Chloe Dygert probably would have won this year too. On course for the best time, the American fell in a right-hand bend and flew over the crash barrier in a high arc. Nothing is known about her health at this time.
