Finn Fisher-Black (Red Bull-Bora Hansgrohe) has taken his first elite New Zealand time trial title, delivering a powerful performance across the out-and-back course in Timaru to beat his nearest rival, Aaron Gate (XDS Astana), by 34 seconds.
Fisher-Black delivered a time of 47:37 over the 37.4km course to return to the top step, which he previously visited as an under-23 and junior in the race against the clock at the Cycling New Zealand Road National Championships.
"I got to the halfway point and still felt I could do another half an hour," said Fisher-Black in a statement from Cycling New Zealand. "I gave a nod to Shane [Archbold, team sports director] behind. From there I knew I was on a good day."
