Britain's Zoe Backstedt, 21, won the silver medal in the women's individual time trial at the UCI World Road Championships in Montreal, finishing second to Switzerland's Marlen Reusser.
The world championships time trial is contested by riders racing alone against the clock over a set course. Reusser posted the fastest time to take the world title, with Backstedt completing the podium as the runner-up.
Backstedt's performance adds a high-profile result to her season and provided a podium for Great Britain on a day when the world's top time trial specialists were in action in Montreal. The result underlines her emergence at the elite level of international road cycling.
The UCI World Road Championships bring together a range of road disciplines and categories, with the time trials followed by mass-start road races later in the event schedule. Riders and teams now turn their attention to those upcoming contests as the championships progress in the Canadian city.
