On day two of the\u00a02025 UCI Paracycling Road World Championships<\/a> , Grace Norman (Jamestown, Ohio), Clara Brown (Falmouth, Maine), and Allison Jones (Colorado Springs, Colo.) scored podium finishes in Ronse. The rain continued making the course even more technical. All of the American riders competed over the same distance today: a two-lap, 23.2-kilometer Time Trial.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elouan Gardon (Acme, Wash.) was the first rider on course this morning for Team USA. He started strong and was just seconds off the leader through the first lap. After a crash on lap two forced a bike change, he battled on his road bike to finish 10th.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI went really well, and I felt really good. The team had a great environment, and really supported me out there,\u201d said Gardon. \u201cOn the second lap, unfortunately I hit a little rock and crashed in one of the roundabouts and had to swap to the road bike. I still managed to finish, but it was definitely disappointing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Franz-Josef L\u00e4sser (AUT) 28:25\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. Dorian Foulon (FRA) +0:15\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. Daniel Abraham Gebru (NED) +0:55\u00a0<\/p>\n

10. Elouan Gardon (USA) +1:58\u00a0<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s Cycle Time Trial\u00a0<\/p>\n

Allison Jones (Colorado Springs, Colo.) rode a strong, consistent race in the WC2 Time Trial, holding third at every split to secure the bronze medal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had rain all day, which made the course slick and tricky, especially through the corners with all the unknown conditions,\u201d said Jones, \u201cI\u2019m absolutely stoked to be on the podium!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Flurina Rigling (SUI) 36:04\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. Maike Hausberger (GER) +0:14\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. Allison Jones (USA) +2:30\u00a0<\/p>\n

Clara Brown (Falmouth, Maine) battled through a flat tire to claim the bronze medal in the WC3 Time Trial. She led at multiple splits before losing time to a worsening flat, ultimately requiring a wheel change well into her second lap. That didn\u2019t stop her, and she still powered her way to the podium.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brown said, \u201cI rode incredibly hard, and I’m really proud to have pulled back to end up on the podium. Bad luck, as you say, but that\u2019s racing. I have another day on Sunday to see how the legs are.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rain made conditions tricky early on, but Brown adapted quickly: \u201cThe first lap, I was definitely a bit cautious. It dried up pretty quickly and I felt like I could rip the corners just fine during the second lap. So rainy conditions to start, and then the course evolved, and I was able to kind of get in a groove.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jamie Whitmore (Somerset, Calif.) also looked strong, finishing fourth despite a crash. \u201cI executed everything perfectly except the crash,\u201d she said. \u201cEven with that, I had a phenomenal race.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Emily Petricola (AUS) 36:35\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. Marie Quellhorst (GER) +0:22\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. Clara Brown (USA) +0:41\u00a0<\/p>\n

4. Jamie Whitmore (USA) +0:51\u00a0<\/p>\n

Team USA had a strong showing in the WC4 Time Trial, led by Grace Norman (Jamestown, Ohio) who surged from fourth\u00a0early on to claim the silver medal. Samantha Bosco (Claremont, Calif.) was in podium position for much of the race but narrowly missed a medal, finishing fourth by just over a second.\u00a0Andrea Cherniak-Tyson (Goshen, Ind.)\u00a0rode consistently to take seventh.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the race, Norman said, \u201cIt\u2019s so exciting and honestly kind of unexpected\u2014this is my first cycling season. I\u2019m overjoyed with silver and it gives me a lot of confidence heading into Sunday\u2019s road race.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
