Burns set the record on his way to finishing 6th in the MC2 1km Time Trial.
CHRIS BURNS SET a new national record on his way to finishing 6th in the MC2 1km Time Trial at the UCI World Championships in Glasgow.
Along with Burns, there were encouraging performances for Richael Timothy and men’s tandem duo Martin Gordon and Eoin Mullen in the Para-cycling Track World Championships while Alice Sharpe and Lara Gillespie battled through a tough women’s madison race in the Track World Championships. Richael Timothy was in action today competing in the WC3 500m time trial setting a time of 42.354. Timothy has one event left – Tuesday’s scratch race.
“Lara’s crash was really unlucky there,” Sharpe said after the race. “She got smashed down onto so there was nowhere and then I just got caught by a resting rider, whether to go left or right and I picked the wrong way and then I crashed.”
