Wales' Geraint Thomas made a courageous late bid to claim Commonwealth Games gold in the men's 160km road race but fell agonisingly short with the finishing line in sight.
In a late move described as "audacious" and "courageous" by TV commentators, Thomas launched a late attack with two kilometres to go and enjoyed a lead of around two seconds in the final kilometre.
But, with the finish close, the other contenders fought to pull him back with the Welshman crossing in eighth place. The track speed of New Zealand's Aaron Gate proved the difference when it came to claiming gold, his fourth of the Games. South Africa's Daryl Impey took silver while Scotland's Finn Crockett won bronze.
