CYCLING: Wyman wins bronze
Barton rider Helen Wyman captured the first British women’s medal at the Cyclo-Cross World Championships since 2000 when she won bronze in the Netherlands at the weekend.
The 32-year-old, who last month won her eighth national title in nine years, had led on the first lap in Hoogerheide, but Marianne Vos of the Netherlands won her seventh world title, finishing a minute ahead of Italy’s Eva Lechner.
Speaking before the event, Wyman said: “If you can put out a good performance and have good form on the day then I think that podium place is really there for the taking.”
