It was a great start for Spanish men, with Ricardo Ten Argiles (MC1 time trial) a very popular recipient of the event\u2019s first rainbow jersey, followed immediately by Alfonso Cabello Llamas (MC 5 time trial).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the day belonged to the Australians. Tahlia Clayton-Goodie, Tara Neyland, Korey Boddington, Emily Petricola and the tandem riders Jessica Gallagher and Kane Perris, with pilots Jacqui Mengler-Mohr and Luke Zaccaria, all delivered winning performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alexandre L\u00e9aut\u00e9 of France, Claudia Cretti  of Italy, Jody Cundy of Great Britain and Sabrina Cust\u00f3dia Da Silva of Brazil all won gold \u2013 with medals also earned by Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Malaysia, the Netherlands and New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quickest rider in the Men\u2019s C1 1km time trial qualifying, Mohamad Yusof Hafizi Shaharuddin of Maslaysia \u2013 bronze medallist last year \u2013 was second fastest in the final, hitting a great pace but unable to beat the time set by Ricardo Ten Argiles. The 50-year-old Spaniard took the gold medal with a time of 1:15.182 (47.883km\/h).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">An all out effort to take the 2025 UCI World Champion title in the Men C1 1km Time Trial! \ud83c\udf08<br><br>Hats off, Ricardo Ten \ud83c\udfa9<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Rio2025?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Rio2025<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Uf9W58GmJE\">pic.twitter.com\/Uf9W58GmJE<\/a><\/p>&mdash; UCI Para-Cycling (@UCI_paracycling) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UCI_paracycling\/status\/1978906184972173412?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 16, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It didn\u2019t take long for Spain to register their second rainbow jersey. 2024 UCI Worlds C5 1 km time trial silver medallist Alfonso Cabello Llamas \u2013 third in qualifying \u2013 put in a great start for a time of 1:03.513 (56.681km\/h). 2024 UCI World Champion and Paralympic silver medallist Blaine Hunt of Great Britain \u2013 second quickest qualifier \u2013 couldn\u2019t match him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it all came down to the last rider, fastest qualifier Niels Verschaeren of Belgium \u2013 2024 bronze medallist \u2013 but he experienced an issue near the start, losing grip on the bars, and coming in fifth, as Austria\u2019s Franz-Josef L\u00e4sser took the bronze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83c\udf08\ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddf8 ALFONSO CABELLO LLAMAS \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\udf08<br><br>Your 2025 UCI <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ParaCycling?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ParaCycling<\/a> Men C5 1km Time Trial World Champion!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Rio2025?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Rio2025<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dYWcCabdZZ\">pic.twitter.com\/dYWcCabdZZ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; UCI Para-Cycling (@UCI_paracycling) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UCI_paracycling\/status\/1978908397794648474?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 16, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When Alexandre L\u00e9aut\u00e9 of France and Hidde Buur of the Netherlands took a lap in the Men\u2019s C2 10km scratch race, it became a question of which of the pair would take the gold. It was the French defending UCI World Champion who powered away, with the Dutchman taking silver and Matthew Robertson of Great Britain the bronze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Italy\u2019s Claudia Cretti set a new world record in the Women\u2019s C5 time trial qualifying (1:12.325), the evening\u2019s final followed the form with rainbow bands for the Italian plus another fastest time: 1:12.028 (49.980km\/h average speed).

Australia\u2019s Tara Neyland got the better of New Zealand\u2019s Siobhan Terry, with Aussie Erin Normoyle third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With less than a second covering the qualifying times of the top four riders in the Men\u2019s C4 1km time trial, a nip-and-tuck final beckoned. Australia\u2019s Michale Shippley went quicker than his qualification time for provisional first place before Great Britain\u2019s Archie Atkinson edged him by 0.1 sec. After Belgium\u2019s Jarno Thierens missed Atkinson\u2019s time by 0.036 sec, could the world record holder Jody Cundy deny his compatriot the gold? Emphatically so. The defending UCI World Champion went 1.7 seconds quicker to lead a British 1-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Men\u2019s C3 sprint, after Australia\u2019s Korey Boddington\u2019s world record in qualification (10.581 sec at 68.046 km\/h) he faced second fastest qualifier Devon Briggs of New Zealand in the gold final. The two went shoulder to shoulder in a show of power before the Aussie prevailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily Petricola was next to underscore Australia\u2019s strength. With help from her countrywoman Paige Greco (4th), she controlled the pace in the Women\u2019s C3 10km scratch race, taking the win ahead of Colombia\u2019s Daniela Paula Caballeros Perez and Canada\u2019s Mel Pemble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Switzerland\u2019s Flurina Rigling set a new world record in the Women\u2019s C2 time trial &#8211; 1:20.299 for 1km -, she could have been forgiven for celebrating. But, with a blistering start, Brazil\u2019s Sabrina Cust\u00f3dia Da Silva scythed more than a quarter of a second off that time, recording 1:20.020. When Germany\u2019s Maike Hausberger crossed the line in third position, the gold medal was confirmed for the home nation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In qualifying for the M\/WB 750m tandem team sprint, Australia \u2013 Jessica Gallagher (WB) with pilot Jacqui Mengler-Mohr and Kane Perris (MB) with pilot Luke Zaccaria \u2013 were fastest, setting a world record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They went head-to-head with Italy \u2013 Marianna Agostini (WB) with pilot Elena Bissolati, and Stefano Meroni (MB) with pilot Francesco Ceci \u2013 in the gold final, the day\u2019s last race.
