Kim Cadzow and Logan Currie claimed the time trial victories at the New Zealand Road National Championships on Thursday in Timaru, with both 22-year-olds taking the wins as they made their elite category debut at the event.

Currie displaced two-time champion Aaron Gate (Burgos-BH) in the 37km elite men’s time trial, although it perhaps was not a particularly surprising turn of events given that the young rider Lotto-Dstny rider claimed the U23 title in 2023 with a time that was faster than that laid down by Gate to take the elite victory.
