Great Britain’s most successful Paralympian finished the 71 kilometre course in one hour, 54 minutes and 24 seconds, just ahead of French silver medallist Heidi Gaugain, while Colombian Paula Ossa took bronze.
Success for the 46-year-old secured her 30th medal across nine Games, including a British record 19 golds.
Gaugain, 19, made a break for victory in the closing stages of the race but was quickly caught by the defending champion, who punched the air after sprinting over the finish line.
“It’s amazing, really amazing – I’m just delighted that my wheel was in front at the finish,” said Storey, following the tightest time trial finish of her Paralympic career.
“The lap before a coach of hers (Gaugain) shouted from the other side of the road, ‘next lap on the left’, so I had a look where we were to make sure I was ready for that.
“He shouted, ‘go’ and I went too.
