Tom Pidcock, a double Olympic champion, won the men’s cross-country gold medal at the European Championships in Portugal with a dominant performance.
The 25-year-old finished in third place in Denmark’s Simon Andreassen, 36 seconds ahead of fellow Briton Charlie Aldridge.
By the fifth loop of the circuit, Pidcock overtook Aldridge to take the lead after starting at the back of the pack but was forced into the top 10.
He becomes the first Briton to win the 2022 competition and his second European title.
Evie Richards of Great Britain won silver in the women’s mountain bike cross-country earlier.
