Norway’s Tobias Foss won a surprise gold in the time trial at the Road World Championships in Australia as Britain’s Ethan Hayter finished fourth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Foss’ strong finish proved crucial as he beat Switzerland’s Stefan Kung by 2.95 seconds in Wollongong.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hayter had to swap bikes after a mechanical problem on his run, finishing nearly 36 seconds behind the winner and 30 seconds from the podium.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the women’s race, the Netherlands’ Ellen van Dijk defended her title. <\/span><\/p>\n

The 35-year-old finished ahead of Australia’s Grace Brown and European champion Marlen Reusser of Switzerland.<\/span><\/p>\n

There was disappointment for Van Dijk’s compatriot Annemiek van Vleuten, as the Olympic champion could only manage seventh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Van Dijk more than matched Brown’s brave attempt to seal a home victory to win by 12.73 seconds in 44:28.60.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I never expected to win. I didn’t think it was a perfect course for me but I had a good mental and physical approach with my coach,” said Van Dijk.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I just thought I would give it my all today. A podium spot would be nice, but if it’s not, it’s not, I still had a great year. I never thought I would win today.”<\/span><\/p>\n

A twisting, technical course on the New South Wales coastline also upset the favourite in the men’s race with Italy’s Filippo Ganna, attempting to win a third successive title, only able to finish seventh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel, <\/span>who won the Vuelta a Espana last weekend,<\/span><\/a> finished third, adding to silver and bronze from the 2019 and 2021 events.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kung looked on course to deny Foss his victory as he led by 12 seconds through the final checkpoint, but he couldn’t match the Norwegian’s finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Foss pinched himself as he watched his rival come through the line, and said the result was far beyond his expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n

“If I was top 10 today I would be really satisfied, so to wear that jersey will be really special,” he said. “I will try and honour it as much as I can.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It really feels like I am in some kind of a dream. I got the signals that my legs were really good, but this is more than I can ever dream for.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
