Italy's Filippo Ganna retained his time-trial crown at cycling's world championships in Bruges on Sunday.
The 25-year-old Ineos rider defended his title by beating local favourite Wout van Aert (Jumbo) by five seconds in a carbon copy of last year's outcome.
Another Belgian, Remco Evenepoel took third, 43sec back at the end of the 43.3 kilometres.
Ganna arrived in Bruges on the back of a Tokyo Olympics where he missed out on time-trial glory but led Italy to team pursuit gold.
