"It was a challenging enough course, but it was nice and flowy. We got away mid-race with the British team; we’ve been beaten before in a sprint with them so we just couldn’t take them to the line.
"We discussed tactics, and we went on the climb of the second last lap, and we rode to the rainbow jersey which was great."
Dunlevy added: "I’m absolutely over the moon. It’s our sixth World Championship medal and it’s as special as the first and you know we lost the titles last year so it’s great to that back to bring to Ireland."
Josephine Healion & Linda Kelly - also took bronze, despite their timing chain coming-off, 15 metres from the finish line.
