Men's Mtn Bike

England’s Liam Killeen has won the Men’s Cross Country Mountain Bike event, improving on the bronze medal he won for the same event in Manchester in 2002.

Team mate Oli Beckingsale took silver, with Canadian Seamus McGrath finishing third.

“I haven't raced since October, so I was nervous going in,” said 23 year old Killeen. “There were half a dozen threats in the field, but I had a lot of self-belief.”

Killeen finished the gruelling 53 km course in a time of 2:13:11.
