Adam Rafferty Takes a Top-10 in the U23 ITT in Montreal
Adam Rafferty has today taken a top-10 in the Men’s U23 Individual Time Trial event at the UCI Road World Championships in Montreal, Canada.
The Hagens Berman Jayco rider took bronze at last year’s European Championships in France in the same event
The Co. Down native finished the 31.3km course 56 seconds behind winner Ryan Gal of the Netherlands.
Rafferty reflected on his race afterwards; “Bit of a disappointing result to be honest, but that’s sport. Just looking forward to the road race now.”

Both riders now turn their attentions towards Friday’s road race, where they will be joined by Lidl-Trek’s Liam O’Brien and Rafferty’s Hagens Berman Jayco team-mate David Gaffney.
