Great Britain’s Cat Ferguson won the junior road race in challenging conditions at the UCI Road and para-Road Cycling World Championships. <\/b><\/p>\n
There was further success for Britain when Fin Graham won the para C3 road race ahead of team-mate Ben Watson. <\/p>\n
Eighteen-year-old Ferguson beat Paula Ostiz of Spain in Switzerland’s capital Zurich to claim the gold medal and coveted rainbow jersey.<\/p>\n
“Paula is super good, but I felt I had the edge on her,” said Ferguson after crossing the line. <\/p>\n
“I’m an only child, it’s just me and my mum and dad. They’ve been there through everything. They’re the first people I see when I cross the finish line – it made me cry.” <\/p>\n
Slovakia’s Viktoria Chladonova was third with Britain’s Imogen Wolff sixth, one minute 26 seconds behind Ferguson following an earlier crash.<\/p>\n
Graham’s win comes after his gold medal at the Paralympics in Paris last month.<\/p>\n
“[It’s] special to now be para and World champion,” said Graham. “It was classic British conditions and it showed with two British guys up front.<\/p>\n
“There was over 1,000 metres of climbing and 70-odd kilometres – that’s a lot of climbing. But descending in the wet, we’re better than other nations, because we have experience.<\/p>\n
“It’s class to be able to ride with Ben and for him to get on the podium,” added Graham.<\/p>\n
GB’s Archie Atkinson finished fifth in the men’s para-cycling C4-5 road race.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
