At the second time of asking, Italian Lorenzo Milesi claimed the U23 time trial world title at the UCI Road World Championships, riding a negative split on the 36.2km course in Stirling to overhaul rainbow jersey favourite Alec Segaert of Belgium and take the win.
The 21-year-old turned pro with Team dsm-firmenich this season having come up through the Dutch squad's development ranks but hasn't yet stood out as a top time trial prospect. However, he rode the best TT of his short career on Wednesday afternoon, saving some energy for the hilly final part of the course.
