GLASGOW : Britain's Daniel Bigham saw a world title snatched from his grasp by a man he helps to go faster when Italian Filippo Ganna won a thrilling final in the men's individual pursuit on Sunday.
"Thanks to Dan for an amazing battle in this velodrome," the 27-year-old Ganna said after claiming his seventh track world title, six of them coming in the 4km individual pursuit. When he is not on his track bike, he spends his time developing kit that gives elite cyclists the marginal gains that can be the difference between success and failure.
On Sunday, Ganna again showed the benefits of having one of cycling's sharpest minds in his corner, although Bigham must have wished the Italian had taken the night off. The pair shared a warm embrace after the race with Bigham saying they had a 'mutual respect' for each other's skills.
