TEAM Sunweb, with Filipino-Amnerican rider Coryn Rivera taking part, claimed its first title of the 2017 UCI Road World Championships in Bergen, Norway.
They took the women’s team time trial after beating 2016 winner Boels Dolmans by 12 seconds.
The six riders are made up of Rivera, Lucinda Brand, Leah Kirchmann, Floortje Mackaij, Sabrina Stultiens and Ellen van Dijk.
According to cyclingnews.com, Team Sunweb rode a well-paced race.
They tackled the steep climb after 30 kms, with a careful pace, before finishing with four riders in 55 minutes and 41 seconds at the end of the 42.5km course.
Boels Dolmans started last, but struggled to match Team Sunweb and finished 12 seconds slower.
The Cervelo-Bigla team took the bronze medal, finishing 28 seconds slower.
Canyon-SRAM took fourth at 1:04, with Team Virtu placing fifth at 2:51.
The Danish team lost world time trial champion Amber Neben early in the race after she dropped her chain.
“None of us really expected this, we were just going for the podium,” said Van Dijk.
