Katie-George Dunlevy and Linda Kelly defend World title

The pair triumphed at the UCI Para-cycling World Championships in Belgium.

KATIE-GEORGE DUNLEVY and Linda Kelly have defended their World Championship time trial title at the UCI Para-cycling World Championships in Ronse, Belgium.

The duo triumphed in 30 minutes and 4.68 seconds, beating the second-placed GB tandem pair by 30 seconds.

Dunlevy and Kelly won the gold medal at last year’s Paralympic Games in Paris, while also achieving double gold in last year’s World Championships when they took top spot in the Road Race and Time Trial.

This is a sixth TT World Championship for Dunlevy, and third for Linda Kelly as pilot.

The pair will aim to defend their Road Race title on Sunday. The race gets underway at 7.35am Irish Time.

Damien Vereker and Mitchell McLaughlin finished seventh in the men’s tandem and will compete in Sunday’s road race.

Richael Timothy and Cormac O’Callaghan will get their World Championships underway later today.
