MELBOURNE - Rosara Joseph earned New Zealand's second silver cycling medal and fourth overall by finishing runner-up to Canadian favourite Marie-Helen Premont in the Commonwealth Games women's mountainbiking race today.

Joseph overtook Canadian Kisara Bisaro on the fourth of six laps to secure silver -- New Zealand's second after Hayden Roulston's effort in the men's points race last Friday.

The cycling squad also took bronze in the men's team pursuit and Gordon McCauley was third in the men's road time trial.
