Christina Schweinberger second, Valeriya Kononenko third in 27.23km race in Les Herbiers
Olympic road champion Anna Kiesenhofer won the final time trial of the season at the Chrono des Nations in Les Herbiers, France, on Sunday.
Kiesenhofer covered the 27.23km course with the winning time of 36:23, beating compatriot Christina Schweinberger (Fenix-Deceuninck) by just one second to take the victory.
