This titled isn't entirely accurate. Actually, Ellen van Dijk (Netherlands) started a minute and a half after Lisa Klein (Germany) who is just ahead of her. It wasn't that Klein was riding slow, she took 7th place in the final placings on the day, it was just that van Dijk was just that fast. Not only did she pass the German ahead of her, but she just missed catching Leah Thomas (USA) who finished her ride just about 10 seconds ahead of van Dijk. Keep in mind Thomas had started a full three minutes ahead of the Dutch woman. With that kind of a ride it should come as no surprise that she is the new World Champion in the Women's Elite Time Trial. It did mean she had to wait for 37 other women to finish their efforts before she knew that the title and the rainbow stripes were hers.
