Olympian Jaime Nielsen took her third New Zealand time trial victory today. Rio Olympic team pursuiter Georgia Williams finished runner-up, with defending champion Rushlee Buchanan third.

"I was a bit nervous today and there were some changes to the course. I went really hard but felt it in the latter stages of the race," Nielsen said.

"I was targeting this race after Rio and prepared really well for it. It's always an honour to win a national title and I am really pleased."
