Lennard Kamna wins junior men's World Championship time trial
Germany's Lennard Kamna obliterates field; Britain's Matthew Gibson finishes 10th
Lennard Kamna (Germany) took an utterly convincing win in the junior men's World Championship time trial on Tuesday in Ponferrada, Spain.
Kamna finished over 44 seconds ahead of silver medallist Adrien Costa (USA) and nearly a minute ahead of bronze medallist Michael Storer (Australia).
Ireland's Michael O'Loughlin started his run very quickly, setting the second-fastest time at the first split point behind Kamna but faded slightly in the second half to finish eighth.
Sole British rider Matthew Gibson continued the nation's run of top 10 finishes with 10th spot. Gibson will take part in the junior men's road race on Saturday.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
