Tarling gets bronze in men’s elite individual time trialWiggins takes silver behind Oscar Chamberlain in junior event
Geraint Thomas’s star may be fading but the churn of young talent within the British cycling scene continues apace, after the teenagers Josh Tarling and Ben Wiggins claimed medals in the men’s time trial disciplines at the world championships in Scotland.
Tarling picked up the baton from veteran and fellow Welshman Thomas to take a deserved bronze medal in the men’s elite individual time trial. Thomas struggled to make his mark, while the highly rated 19-year-old came to the fore, running the 2022 world road race champion, Remco Evenepoel of Belgium, and Italian time triallist Filippo Ganna, his Ineos Grenadiers teammate, close on the 47.8km course.
