Löwen – Junior Linda Riedmann awarded the Association of German Cyclists (BDR) the third medal at the World Road Championships in Flanders.
The 18-year-old took bronze in the junior women’s road race on Saturday morning and after 75 kilometers starting and finishing in Leuven, Belgium, only Zoe Backstedt from Great Britain and American Kaia Schmid had to admit. the defeat.
“Unfortunately, I missed the moment to go with the top duo. That’s why I waited for the last lap to get third place, “said Riedmann at the press conference, the bronze already hanging around his neck. She did her sprint “neither too early nor too late,” said the European champion. “At first I was a bit disappointed, but now I’m very happy with the medal.”
Backstedt and Schmid crossed the finish line with a 57-second lead, Riedmann winning the sprint of a group behind them. Previously, the young Antonia Niedermaier (bronze in the individual time trial) and the mixed time trial (gold) won precious metals for Germany.
