Pooley takes second round of World Cup

Briton Emma Pooley won the Trophee Alfredo Binda, the second round of the UCI's World Cup, soloing to victory by more than a minute in the 120-kilometer race from Cittiglio to Varese in Italy.

Pooley finished 1:08 of the field sprint, which was won by the Netherland's Suzanne De Goede, who finished ahead of former world champion Diana Ziliute of Lithuania.

Pooley, whose win on Monday was her first World Cup victory, is now tied for first in the series standings, with Katheryn Curi Mattis, winner of round one in Geelong, Australia, last month.
