Junior World time trial Champion Michiel Mouris brought home more success for the Netherlands, as he rode to victory for the second year running in the ITT at the UEC Road European Championships.
After a rapid trip back from Rwanda, Mouris, 18, showed that his strong form had been maintained, beating Ireland's Conor Murphy to gold by five seconds across the 24km course.
The pair in first and second were a league above the rest, with Denmark's Julius Løvstrup Birkedal taking third, 27 seconds down on the winner. Birkedal, 16, has been a trade teammate of Mouris' this past season, with both men riding on Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe 's junior development programme for GRENKE - Auto Eder.
