Team Sunweb's Ellen van Dijk has won the European time trial championships in Glasgow today, securing her third title in as many years. The 31-year-old specialist completed the course in a time of 41 minutes and 39 seconds, taking the victory by a margin of two seconds. Ellen said: "I’m really happy to prolong my title for another year. It was a nice rolling course, always going up or down a bit and I felt good, but I wasn’t very confident on the wet corners which cost me some time in the final part of the race. At the end it was a very close finish with Anna van der Breggen. I’m happy with my performance and proud to be able to wear the Euro colours for another year." |
