England cyclist Joseph Truman won silver in a record-breaking men’s 1,000m time trial at the Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n
Truman put in a solid ride throughout but he couldn’t beat the speed of Australian Leigh Hoffman, who broke the Commonwealth Games record with a stunning time of 58.530 seconds.<\/p>\n
England team-mate Harry Ledingham-Horn, who had topped the standings after 11 riders with a time of 1:00.039, was pushed out of the medals to fourth.<\/p>\n
He was beaten to the bronze by just over 40 seconds by Australian Tayte Ryan, who also beat the Englishman to the third-placed medal in the men’s sprint.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Hamish Turnbull got off to a quick start, clocking the third quickest opening 250m with a time of 18.637, but his speed began to drop off to leave him down in eighth.<\/p>\n
Another Commonwealth Games record was broken earlier in the session after England’s Matthew Robertson put in a time of 3:25.655 in the men’s C1-C3 3000m individual pursuit qualification.<\/p>\n
However, his record did not last long as Scotland’s Fin Graham put in a blistering ride of 3:22.921.<\/p>\n
The two will face off for the gold medal in the afternoon session at approximately 15:27 BST.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"England cyclist Joseph Truman won silver in a record-breaking men’s 1,000m time trial at the Commonwealth Games.
