Franziska Brausse is the Women's Individual Pursuit world champion
Track CyclingSaturday, 15 October 2022 at 19:15
Germany's Franziska Brausse has been crowned the Women's Individual Pursuit world champion after victory over New Zealand's Bryony Botha at the UCI Track World Championships in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France.
With Great Britain's Josie Knight picking up bronze in a thrilling race with the German, Mieke Kroger, Franziska Brausse came to the track looking to make sure it wasn't a double disappointment for Germany against New Zealand's Bryony Botha.
Brausse went out all guns blazing from the gun and the big question was, had she gone off too quick? Would she be burnt out by the races end? The answer was no. Despite a brilliant effort from Botha, Brausse managed to hold on to claim victory and the rainbow jersey.
After bronze in Berlin 2020 and silver in Roubaix 2021, Franziska Brausse has now finally won gold and completed the set of medals.

- Hey, find the logic and connection in these two things. First Yates says he is "grateful" to Visma and has been thinking about retirement for a long time??? ... and at the same time he left his team in the dark where they can't bring in a replacement now. Is that how he thanks his team? Don't insult my intelligence. My uncle once told me, "I don't know what's the true, but what the newspapers publish, I know that isn't true." ...That means one less option. Now apply that to the Yates case and you can put the Visma and Yates explanation in the trash and continue investigating the real reason.NikkoNicco11-01-2026
- He actually took a pay cut when transferred to Visma; he was the star at Jayco for years, he moved because a different team structure could improve his chances and they both got the benefits of the transaction. Money would have been more important if he was a rising talent, not an established one on his way out.mhfrvz11-01-2026
- I take him for his word and the beautiful letter of retirement he penned.Good health and family life as well.Chapeau! God speed straight on till morning.

- And yet, so many who get money get worried about it so obviously it’s not easy for everyone.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- Maybe Simon's close bond with his brother made his position untenable, for instance if Visma were planning an unwelcome surprise for UAE.Hills3310-01-2026
- You forgot the tax angle which says quite a lot about people who are already well set up. And he’s got rid of the money hasn’t he, or rather invested it long-term for his family, people who like money spend differently.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- 🤣 I saw that too. Guess he buys in lower tax bracket so he can buy moremd197510-01-2026
