Newly formed pairing Sophie Unwin and pilot Jenny Holl won a dramatic gold in the women’s tandem road race at the Para-cycling Road World Championships.
The duo, at their first World Championships, outsprinted their rivals in Estoril, Portugal.
Time trial champions Lora Fachie and Corrine Hall were third, just behind their team-mates.
