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.
