Great Britain’s Sophie Unwin and Jenny Holl won silver in the women’s B road race at the UCI Road and Para-cycling Road World Championships in Zurich.

Fresh from claiming two gold medals at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, Unwin and Holl finished second to Irish tandem Katie-George Dunlevy and Linda Kelly.

Unwin, alongside pilot Holl, also picked up silver in the women’s B individual time trial on Sunday.

It is the fifth time the duo have won a medal at the World Championships, after gold in 2021 and 2022, while they won silver in 2023.

In the men’s race, British pair Chris McDonald and Adam Duggleby finished ninth.

On Thursday, the women’s and men’s junior road races and the men’s C3, C4 and C5 road races take place.

There are 55 British athletes taking part in the first combined UCI Road and Para-cycling Road World Championships from 21-29 September, with most races being shown on the BBC Sport website and app.
