World Championships 2024 mixed team time trial mixed recap: Grace Brown takes another world title as Australia triumph ahead of Germany and Italy

Watch the highlights below as Australia became the first country outside of Europe to win the world title.

Michael Matthews said after the race: "It [the course] was a hard one. I think Jay [Vine] had put me to the sword straight away on that first climb and I think we averaged about 650w from bottom to top so it was hard day. There wasn’t much recovery out there so we really had to try and stick together as a team as much as possible and just keep our speed as high as possible.

"I think we [the men] came through with the fastest time so we were quite confident from there and we knew we had a really good, strong women’s team to finish it off. I’ve won it when it was trade teams, the team time trials, this was the first time we’ve had this experience to win it now.

"We came in confident let’s say, but you never know until we all crossed the finish line. To win it here now, I think we’re still in a bit of shock at the moment but once it sinks in that we’re world champions in the team time trial we can really enjoy it much more."

“I think I’m feeling a little bit greedy, I need a few more rainbow jerseys in my closet [laughs] but this one is really nice, a great vibe to do it with the whole Aussie crew. Really exciting."

Here's your podium:

1. Australia 1:12'52"28 (Michael Matthews, Ben O'Connor, Jay Vine, Grace Brown, Brodie Chapman, Ruby Roseman-Gannon)

2. Germany +0"85 (Marco Brenner, Miguel Heidemann, Maximilian Schachmann, Franziska Koch, Liane Lippert, Antonia Niedermaier)

3. Italy +8"25 (Edoardo Affini, Mattia Cattaneo, Filippo Ganna, Elisa Longo Borghini, Soraya Paladin, Gaia Realini)

It won't be hat-trick of victories for Switzerland, who are missing some key names from their team. They finish eighth, almost three minutes down.

Italy retain their place in third, Germany in second, Australia in first as the penultimate team cross the line. Switzerland still to finish but it's looking like that will be our podium.

Sensational for Australia, and even more history for Grace Brown, now taking Olympic and World ITT titles, and a World mixed team time trial rainbow jersey! An epic farewell tour for Brown, in what was her final professional time trial. She's still got the road race to go this weekend.

A reminder of the Australia team taking gold: Michael Matthews, Ben O'Connor, Jay Vine, Grace Brown, Brodie Chapman, and Ruby Roseman-Gannon.

Will they overtake Australia?!

Brown and Champman take the lead by less than a second! 1:12'52"28 the new lead tie with Italy approaching! Could this be another rainbow jersey for Brown in her golden farewell tour?!

It's a two minute lead for Germany! USA had just finished second, but now move down to third. Germany set a time of 1:12'53"13 to overtake Denmark, a really impressive rider from Lippert and Niedermaier there.

Norsgaard and Uttrup Ludwig set the new fastest time at 1:14'58"80! They move into the hot seat ahead of Canada, and were 1'35" down at the time point.

They're two mintues down, which puts them into eighth. That's the last team now through that point.

It's a time of 1:16'42"58 which moves them into a provisional second.

They overtake the time from Ukraine, who were in the first wave, with a time of 1:15'34"32 to move into the hot seat!

It's a time of 53'14"48 for Longo Borghini and Realini to move them into second!

No wonder Germany and Australia have both dropped a rider, these are impressive times! Australia take a lead of just over five seconds to set the new fastest time of 53'12"31.

It's a lead of a minute and ten seconds for Lippert and Niedermaier! The time to beat at that point is now 53'17"90.

All three riders still together and they overtake the time of the Danish pair with a new fastest time of 54'28"05.

Paladin has an issue and drops back, leaving Longo Borghini and Realini to continue as a pair.
