In 2022, Grace Brown surprised herself with the silver medal in the UCI World Championships women's time trial, finishing just 13 seconds behind the Netherlands' Ellen van Dijk. She came into the 2023 title race in Stirling, Scotland, with the belief she could grab the rainbow jersey.

In the end, however, Brown came six frustratingly small seconds from her 'daunting' goal, relegated to the silver medal by the resurgent American Chloé Dygert.
