Chloé Dygert's Remarkable Journey: From Illness and Injury to Reclaiming the World Time Trial Title

Chloe Dygert reclaimed her title as the fastest individual time trialist in the world, winning the elite women's time trial at the 2023 UCI World Championships. She finished with a time of 46:59, beating Grace Brown by just six seconds. Dygert had previously won the title in 2019 but suffered a crash in 2020. This victory marks a remarkable comeback for Dygert, who had taken a break from road racing due to health issues. Antonia Niedermaier of Germany won the under-23 women's title.

Protesters Halt Men's World Championships Road Race

The men's road race at the UCI world championships in Scotland was halted for almost an hour after protestors blocked the road. Police removed and arrested five individuals who had glued themselves to the road. The "This Is Rigged" oil and gas activism movement claimed responsibility for the protest. The race was eventually resumed, with all gaps to the breakaway reinstated to mitigate the stoppage's impact. Race organizers may reduce the number of Glasgow circuits to minimize scheduling impacts.
