No bike, no issue for Ash

NSWIS Olympian Ashlee Ankudinoff has won silver in the Individual Pursuit at the 2016-17 UCI Track World Cup in Los Angeles.

Ankudinoff’s medal was a high point in a frustrating week for the Australian team, with preparations severely hampered by their bikes being held up in transit from the previous World Cup event in Colombia.

Ankudinoff was competing in her first international level Individual Pursuit race for five years, and qualified impressively in second to set up her final. She was eventually beaten to the title by American rider Chloe Dygert, and now has set her sights on the World Championships in Hong Kong next month.
