New Zealand's Linda Villumsen won her first world title, after five previous medal finishes,[3] by 2.54 seconds ahead of Anna van der Breggen of the Netherlands, while defending champion Brennauer finished in the bronze medal position, 5.26 seconds behind Villumsen. Australia's Katrin Garfoot finished just off the podium in fourth, 9.32 seconds off the winning time.[1][4][5] Ellen van Dijk, one of the favorites, finished disappointingly seventh. A reason for her performance was that her rear wheel was not well attached in the frame. Her wheel ran into the frame, damaging her tire and puncturing her inner tube.
