Justyna Czapla and Emil Herzog won medals number two and three for the German Cycling Federation (BDR) at the World Cycling Championships in Wollongong, Australia.
Silver for Czapla
Firstly, Czapala won silver in the junior individual time trial. The 18-year-old was only beaten by Zoe Backstedt from Great Britain, who averaged 45.895 km/h on the 14.1-kilometre course and beat the German by 1:36 minutes. The battle for the bronze medal was much closer.
This went to Febe Jooris from Belgium, who lost 1:49 minutes to Backstedt and was less than a second ahead of the fourth-placed Czech Eliska Kvasnickova.
