It was Cure’s eighth medal from the last eight races she has contested at the past three world Championships, a tally that now stands at two gold, three silver and three bronze.
In Saturday’s 10km scratch race final, Cure showed no signs of the heavy workload which saw her ride three rounds of the team pursuit during the first two days of racing, followed by two rounds of the individual race yesterday.
Cure was one of the main aggressors in the latter stages of the races, and in a nail-biting final lap, she went toe to toe with the Netherland’s Kirsten Wild before being edged in the dying metres before the line.
Meanwhile, fellow Tasmanian Richie Porte continued his good form for British Team Sky working tirelessly to help position teammate Geraint Thomas to retain the yellow jersey at the Volta ao Algrave before attacking to claim the stage win by three seconds.
