Perth junior claims bronze at road worlds

Australia's run of medals at the road cycling world championships in Spain has continued with Michael Storer claiming bronze in the junior ITT.

West Australian junior Michael Storer has continued Australia's success at the road world championships in Spain by finishing strongly to secure bronze in the individual time trial.

The 17-year-old was seventh at the first time check and fifth with 8km to go, but then picked up the pace to snare third, 58 seconds behind winner Lennard Kamna from Germany.

Kamna covered the 29.5km course in Ponferrada in 36 minutes 13.49 seconds.

United States rider Adrien Costa claimed silver, some 44 seconds behind the German.

Storer's bronze means Australia has medalled in every event at the world championships so far.

Campbell Flakemore won the under-23 ITT on Monday just hours after fellow Tasmanian Macey Stewart claimed gold in the junior women's race against the clock.

Trade teams Orica-GreenEDGE and Orica-AIS won silver in the men's and women's team time trials, respectively, on Sunday.

Katrin Garfoot is Australia's sole representative in the elite women's individual time trial later on Tuesday.
