Great Britain's Josh Tarling won a surprise time trial bronze on day nine of the Cycling World Championships.

Last year's junior world champion is still eligible for the Under-23 event but made his debut at elite level over the 47.8km course in Stirling.

And the Welsh rider, 19, was only beaten by Belgian winner Remco Evenepoel and Italy's Filippo Ganna.

Tarling's fellow Welshman and Ineos Grenadiers team-mate Geraint Thomas, 37, finished 10th as he builds towards the Vuelta a Espana later this month.

Great Britain's Ben Wiggins says he "backed up the hype" by winning silver at the Cycling World Championships in Scotland on Friday.

The 18-year-old son of five-time Olympic champion Sir Bradley finished second to Australia's Oscar Chamberlain in the men's junior time trial.

And his Tour de France-winning father, 43, was in Stirling to watch the latest success in his son's burgeoning career.

"Winning a medal at my first Worlds, it can't get much better, other than getting the [world champion's rainbow] jersey," said Wiggins.

"I'm sure there'll be more opportunities to get that so I can't complain today."

Scottish mountain biker Charlie Aldridge was celebrating earlier after adding another gold to Great Britain's medal tally.

The 22-year-old from Perth battled it out with Adrien Boichis over the seventh and final lap at Glentress Forest in the Scottish Borders before breaking clear.

The national champion added the world title to his honours after completing the 26km race in one hour 23 minutes 53 seconds, with the Frenchman crossing 13 seconds later.

The UCI Cycling World Championships take place in Scotland from 3-13 August - and you can watch live across the BBC.
