The time trials for all categories are now finished. Unfortunately the second day wasn't quite as successful as the first but Australia still finished on the podium twice, with silver medals to Michael Gallagher in the C5 Men and Carol Cooke in the WT2 (women's trike) category.
Brandie and Kerry couldn't quite find their rhythm in the Women's tandem category and finished in 16th place. We'll chalk that one up to experience and move on to the road race tomorrow to look for a better showing.
In the women's C2 division, Jing delivered Chinese Taipei's first top 10 World Para Championships result, finishing 6th in her category and overtaking the rider from Russia, who started three minutes in front of her, in the process. Jing's average speed was close to a personal best and Taiwan can be very proud of her representation. Jing is also looking forward to the road race to see what it's like racing elbow to elbow with others in her category.
Today Sue is in action in the combined women's C4/C5 road race. Sara Storey (C5) from Great Britain is also in this race and is a formidable rider in able bodied elite company, so my prediction is that the pace will be on and only the brave will survive! Tune in later for results/report from this race.
