News – Five Medals for GB

22 year old Hannah Dines, making her debut at world cup level, won silver in the T2 time trial yesterday before taking a bronze in the road race today. She was joined on the podium by Karen Darke who took a bronze medal in the H3 road race after finishing fourth in yesterday’s time trial.

Dines was delighted with her performance. “I never thought I was going to come here and medal. It was completely beyond my expectations, so to come home with two is amazing. Winning silver in the time-trial really boosted my confidence going into today’s road race. I’d like to thank my coach Tom Hodgkinson who got me in a great state of mind and kept me calm and focused before both races.”

Yesterday’s racing saw Megan Giglia take a bronze in the time-trial, before a gutsy ride in the afternoon from Stephen Bate and his stoker Adam Duggleby, added another bronze in the tandem B time trial.

The opening world cup of the season, which offers qualification points towards the Rio Paralympic Games, concludes on Sunday with the remaining road races. World champions Lora Turnham and Corrine Hall will be the ones to watch as they look to improve on their fourth place in the tandem B time-trial yesterday afternoon.
