Australia’s Grace Brown and Rohan Dennis complete Commonwealth cycling clean sweep

• Pair blow away competition to each take time trial gold
• Para star Madison de Rozario claims her second gold of Games

As Grace Brown was preparing for the first leg of an Australian clean sweep of the Commonwealth Games individual time trials, the task ahead was brought into harsh focus. English rider Hayley Simmonds, a bronze medallist on the Gold Coast four years ago now working as a commentator while injured, articulated perfectly the demands of the event.
