The medal adds to the silver medal he took in the scratch race in last year’s paracycling track worlds. The qualifiers in the morning were really tight…a second between second, third and fourth, and 0.1 of a second between third and fourth,” said Grimes. “It will just give me that drive to push on that bit more and aim for a step or two higher for the Games.”Ireland’s second bronze medal came late on Saturday night. Richael Timothy was competing in the women’s WC3 scratch race and finished third behind Chinese rider Xiaomei Wang and the USA’s Clara Brown. Their time of one minute 10.248 seconds was just under three seconds off the bronze medal performance.
