Thymen Arensman and Michael Leonard took top 12 finishes in the elite men’s field at the World Time Trial Championships in Rwanda.
Taking on a hilly 40.6km course in Kigali, Arensman from the Netherlands stormed to a time of 53:25.71 to come home in ninth place, having overcome an injury in his glute to take to the start line.
Leonard, representing Canada, initially took over a minute off his nearest rival, Florian Vermeersch (Belgium), to fly into the hot seat with a time of 53:39.14.
The Canadian eventually finished in 12th place, as Remco Evenepoel (Belgium) retained his world championship title for a third year running.
The Grenadiers will next be in action representing their home countries next Sunday, with Egan Bernal and Brandon Rivera (Colombia), Victor Langellotti (Poland), and Arensman (Netherlands) and Leonard (Canada) back in action in the road race.
