Sarah Storey added to her haul of global titles on a great day for Great Britain’s Para-riders at the 2024 Road and Para-cycling World Championships in Switzerland.

The 46-year-old beat British team-mate Morgan Newberry, 25, into second place to retain her women’s C5 road race title in Zurich on Saturday.

Fran Brown claimed gold as the only rider in the C1 category, while fellow GB rider Daphne Schrager won a sprint for silver in the C2 race in which team-mate Amelia Cass finished fourth.

Belgium’s Lotte Kopecky dedicated her win in the elite women’s road race to Swiss rider Muriel Furrer, who died from head injuries sustained in a crash during the women’s junior road race on Thursday.

“I want to bring my condolences to the family of Muriel,” said 28-year-old Kopecky.

“With the minute’s silence at the start, seeing the Swiss riders crying is something you just don’t want to see. I think it is a very hard moment for them.”

Kopecky produced a sprint finish to retain the title she won in Glasgow in 2023.

The United States’ Chloe Dygert was second and Italy’s Elisa Longo-Borghini third in the 154.1km race.

Anna Henderson was the first British rider home in 21st place, four minutes 19 seconds behind Kopecky, with Alice Towers 32nd and Elinor Barker 61st.
