"Stay at the front on this course," Justlove said when asked if she had any tips to share with her teammates who will race the elite women's 150km race from Bradford to Harrogate on Saturday.

"Despite the road being wider than previous races, there was a lot of tension in the field. There was a lot of over-braking and over-reaction, which led to a crash early on. So we would waste a little bit of extra energy trying to stay safe up front."

Just Love, who won the junior women's title, held on from an attack in the final laps to fend off the peloton. She finished ahead of Julie de Wilde (Belgium) and Lieke Neuen (Netherlands). Also in the competition were junior women's time trial winner Aigle Gareeva (RUS) and time trial bronze medalist Elinor Backstedt (RUS).

Justlove said she relied on her teammates Katie Kroes, Gabrielle Lehnert, Ava Skyes, and Zoey Ta-Perez throughout the 86 km race. After crossing the finish line for the win, Justlove watched Krause and Lehnert finish, and the three hugged and celebrated their success. The UCI later announced that Kraus was disqualified for holding onto his water bottle too long during the race.

"I want to thank my teammates. I had to be patient with the timing [of the finish], but I didn't wait too long and ruin the whole race."

USA Cycling has appointed Joanne Kiesanowski to the junior women's program for the International and World Championships. She told Cycling News that previewing the course played an important role in the U.S. team's success.

"We repeated the course recon to make sure there were no surprises, especially in the last 30 km. The last 30 km in particular was perfect," Kiesanowski said. [Knowledge of the course was essential. The course was very tricky to run and suited our team perfectly. We wanted to make sure we knew the course well. Our main goal today was to have no regrets, no doubts."

Just Love's victory came after an impressive World Championships for the US team. Ian Garrison and Brandon McNulty took silver and bronze medals, respectively, in the under-23 time trial on Tuesday.

Chloe Dygert-Owen won the first U.S. gold medal in the afternoon's elite women's time trial. In Thursday's junior men's road race, Quinn Simmons and Magnus Sheffield won gold and bronze medals, respectively. Just Love's victory was the third medal for an American athlete and the sixth medal overall.

"It helps a lot [in motivation]," Justlove said of his teammates' success. The morale was high on the team. Seeing everyone's hard work come together really motivated me and made me want to keep going."

"It was really motivating.

Just Love won the Nations Cup Trofeo da Moreno, the Mini Trofeo Alfredo Binda, the U17 Gent Wevelgem, and the junior Healthy Aging Girls Tour in England. She says that her experience of racing against the world's best has helped her to succeed in Yorkshire.

"It was good to get to know the competitors, those in the breakaway group, and all the athletes. I'm grateful to USA Cycling for giving me the opportunity to race internationally." "

In August, Just Love won two world titles in the Omnium and Madison and competed at the 2019 UCI World Junior Track Championships in Frankfurt, Germany. Adding the junior road world title to her collection makes her one of the most versatile and promising riders of her generation. She plans to continue racing in both disciplines.

"I love racing my own bike and I'm looking forward to trying different fields and elite categories and seeing what happens to me," Justlove said.

"Right now I'm just keeping an open mind and if the opportunity presents itself, I'll take it."

Justlove is competing the road season with the U.S. UCI team, Rally UHC. Because she is only 17 this year, she is not allowed to compete in UCI sanctioned events; she will turn 18 in January and is looking forward to competing at a higher level with Rally UHC in the 2020 season. She also hopes to gain racing experience in the European elite category through USA Cycling's program.

"I want to gain experience racing alongside elite women on the European circuit. It will be good preparation for the following year." We don't have an under-23 category, so going from junior to elite is a big jump. It's like being thrown in at the deep end. I plan to run every UCI race in the U.S. next year."

After Yorkshire, Justlove will return to the United States to enroll as a first-year college student at Milligan College in Johnson City, Tennessee. He said, "The college is helping me take exams that I'm not taking right now when I get back. Now that the World Cup is over, I can just focus on school."
