Great Britain’s Cat Ferguson has taken an emphatic triumph in the World Championships Junior Women’s Individual Time Trial, winning a massive 34-second margin over Viktória Chladoňová (Slovakia).
Imogen Wolff underlined British domination of the flat, straightforward 18.8-kilometre course running alongside the shores of Lake Zurich by clinching the bronze medal, two seconds down on Chladoňová and 11 seconds up on fourth-placed Fee Knaven (Netherlands).
14 seconds fastest at the turn, Ferguson continued to maintain her effort well to claim her first junior title in a year where she has already won the British National Road Race and a string of other events.
The 18-year-old Briton is set to turn pro with Movistar next season, a team where she is already racing as a stagière.
Second last year in Glasgow in the road race and tenth in the 2023 time trial, Ferguson described her TT victory as “Incredible – the disappointment I’ve had before makes this jersey even more special.”
“Just to put that ride in – the process that went into this, it’s incredible, I’ve got so many people to thank and the words right now are I’m incredibly grateful to them all.”
