Durbridge wins gold in World Championships
USA's Craddock second
Australia's Luke Durbridge won Australia's first medal at the Junior Road World Championships in Moscow, Russia, Friday. Durbridge, 18, won the Under 19 time trial ahead of USA's Lawson Craddock and Denmark's Lasse Hansen.
"I'm absolutely stoked and I just can't take it in at the moment," said Durbridge. "I headed out really quickly and was fastest in the first lap and then I died a little bit in the last lap but I managed to hold onto it."
He won the 25.8-kilometre race, two circuits, in a time of 32'52" and an average speed of 47. Craddock was two seconds slower and Hansen 10 seconds slower.
"This course had lots of gradual climbs and I could use the big gear and my power to get up them. My track work preparation meant I could use high cadence on the downhills so that helped me a fair bit as well but the course was rather flat."
Craddock, from Texas, won the silver medal. The only other Team USA rider, Nathan Brown, finished was 34th.
