Post Race Comments

Jessica Allen (AUS)

was obviously very happy with her win, "I can't believe it," said Allen. "Last year finishing the world championships eleventh I really wanted to come into this year doing bigger and better things and take the gold medal.

"I really liked the course, dead flat but nice and technical which worked to my strengths," said Allen who arrived in Denmark fresh from racing in the Commonwealth Youth Games on the Isle of Man where she claimed the silver medal in the time trial.

Allen says junior women's road coach Donna Rae-Szalinski provided crucial advice while she was racing."We only got to ride the course once yesterday so Donna was telling me which corners were coming up and which ones were flowing and which ones were tight and that really helped me."
