Dygert, who captured both the time trial and road race titles in the junior division at the 2015 World Championships in Richmond, Va., turned in a phenomenal ride of 29 minutes, 28.30 seconds over the 21.1-kilometer course along the streets and hills of Bergen. With 18 riders left to finish, Dygert found herself in bronze-medal position until Katrin Garfoot (AUS), the third-to-last rider to start, nudged her from the podium with a time of 29:09.28. The Netherlands claimed the top two positions with Annemiek van Vleuten winning gold in 28:50.35, and Anna van der Breggen taking the silver, 12.16 seconds behind. Stephens was 1:19.86 off the winning time set by van Vleuten.
Reigning time trial world champion Amber Neben (Lake Forest, Calif./Team Velo CONCEPT) finished 11th, 1:41.99 off the winning pace, and Tayler Wiles (Fairfax, Calif./UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling) placed 25th, 2:46.51 back.
Earlier in the day, the junior men took on the same 21.1-kilometer course with Kendrick Boots (Centennial, Colo./Groove Subaru Excel Sports) posting the top time for the American squad in 29:15.96, good for 24th place. Riley Sheehan (Boulder, Colo./LUX Cycling/Stradling p/b Specialized) was 34th in 29:43.45.
The junior men’s title went to Great Britain’s Thomas Pidcock with a winning time of 28:02.15. Italy’s Antonio Puppio finished 11.92 seconds back for the silver medal, while Poland’s Filip Maciejuk took the bronze, 13.29 seconds back of Pidcock.
