Fisher-Black a world champ wizard in Oz

Nelson professional Niamh Fisher-Black won the UCI under-23 road world championship title in Wollongong, Australia yesterday. The 22-year-old has finished 12th in the combined elite and under-23 road race over 164km, just one second behind Dutch winner Annemiek van Vleuten. Fisher-Black was the only under23 rider in that group to claim the rainbow jersey, after being ranked top under-23 rider on the WorldTour last year. She is the first Kiwi female to win a road race world champs, with Linda Villumsen winning the time trial in 2015.
