\nRohan Dennis defended his entire time trial title by winning gold in the Road World Championships at Yorkshire.
\nThe Australian, 29, finished the 54km course to Harrogate five minutes.
\nThat has been 1min 9secs quicker than Belgium’s winner Remco Evenepoel, although Italy’s Filippo Ganna took bronze.
\nAlex Dowsett ended fifth – his very best result at a universe time trial – to make Great Britain a second Olympic place.
\nA finish secured an Tokyo 2020 spot .
\nAfter being called up following the withdrawal of 2018 Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas, john Archibald, that helped GB acquire a relay bronze Sunday, was 14th.
\nDennis raced for the first time since abandoning the parade on the eve of the time trial stage in July.
\nHe was the last rider to start, closing the gap around 2018 bronze medallist Victor Campenaerts and Vuelta a Espana winner Primoz Roglic before advancing on time established by Evenepoel, that won the junior road race and time trial titles in last year’s World Championships.
\nEvenepoel, who jumped the category to compete at elite level this year, is expected to challenge for a medal in Sunday’s road race.
