Brits in Belgium: European Championships
Katie Colclough rode to a top-ten in the U23 women's time trial event at the European Championships in Belgium.
The Championships got off to a flying start thanks to Joe Perrett's win in the junior men's time trial.
Colclough, who was second to Lizzie Armitstead in the U23 National road race at the weekened, clocked a time of 38-15 for the 28km time trial in swelteringly hot conditions in Flanders, Belgium.
Fellow Britons Hannah Mayho and Lucy Martin were 35th and 37th respectively.
U23 women's time trial results:
1. Ellen van Dijk (Netherlands) 36-41
10. Katie Colclough (Great Britian) 38-15
35. Hannah Mayho (Great Britain) 40-09
37. Lucy Martin (Great Britain) 40-24
Meanwhile, in the junior women's time trial, a mechanical problem requiring a bike change put paid to Ella Sadler-Andrews' chances of a top-ten finish.
