Following his junior road race bronze medal in Harrogate two years ago, Magnus Sheffield returned to the UCI Road World Championships in Flanders taking tenth place in the U23 time trial on Monday.

The 19-year-old American, who was among the early starters in the 30.3-kilometre race, finished 58 seconds down on gold medallist Johan Price-Pejtersen, but his ride was overshadowed by the pre-race announcement that he would be joining Ineos Grenadiers for the 2022 season.
