Jay Vine has delivered a sterling result for the ARA Australian Cycling Team, winning the silver medal in the individual time trial at the UCI World Championships.<\/p>\n

Vine, 29, put in an assured performance across the hilly 40km route in Kigali, Rwanda.<\/p>\n

At the second and third intermediate checks, the Canberran had comfortably beaten the previous best times. When he reached the finish atop Kigali\u2019s cobbled climb, Vine stopped the clock over a minute ahead of his nearest rival, putting himself in the virtual hot seat until the final riders arrived.<\/p>\n

In the end, it took a special performance from the defending champion, Remco Evenepoel of Belgium, to wrest the top spot from Vine.<\/p>\n

After crashing in last year\u2019s World Championship<\/a>, where he finished fifth, today\u2019s result is confirmation of Vine\u2019s ability on this stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really happy with the performance,\u201d Vine said. \u201cI knew that I had this sort of performance in myself from last year at a world title level. Unfortunately, I wasn\u2019t able to bring it home last year, but I\u2019m really happy to be able to bring it home this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cA silver against, now the three-time world champ, I\u2019m pretty happy with that.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an incredible feeling representing your country at the world level. To bring back a silver medal \u2013 it\u2019s not the one I wanted to bring back \u2013 but it\u2019s a good consolation prize. So, I\u2019m really happy about bringing the medal home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to all the staff and the people in the background that got me here, and of course my family, for letting me come away to achieve this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vine adds this silver medal to his world championship victories in cycling esports in 2022<\/a>, and in the mixed relay team time trial with Australia<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n

By finishing in seventh place, Victoria\u2019s Luke Plapp ensured Australia placed two riders in the top 10.<\/p>\n

Vien and Plapp will link up for Australia’s title defence in the team time trial on Wednesday, along with Brodie Chapman, who finished fourth in the women\u2019s race<\/a> earlier today.<\/p>\n
