Good results for Island cyclists

Mark Christian at the start of the time trial event

The Isle of Man’s cycling team has impressed at the Commonwealth Games today in the men’s and women’s individual time-trial finals.

In the men’s road race event Delhi 2010 bronze medallist Mark Christian completed the 38.4Km Glasgow in 50:50.54s to clinch 11th place.

The 23-year-old was joined by Ramsey’s Andrew Roche who started his seventh consecutive Commonwealth Games with a 15th place finish after recording a time of 52:33.61s.

Mark’s sister Anna Christian also competed in this morning’s women’s event along with Laura Wasley - both did well to negotiate the challenging course which was hampered by damp conditions throughout the race.

Glen Vine’s Wasley was 26th with a time of 50:07.14s whilst Anna Christian crossed the line in 45:48.65s to finish 14th.

Today’s exploits follow Peter Kennaugh’s silver medal win in Saturday’s 40km points race.

The focus now turns to Sunday’s road race finals.
