Ireland’s Ryan Mullen a single second off time trial medal at European Games

Ireland’s Ryan Mullen has come within a second of taking a medal in the men’s cycling time trial at the European Games in Minsk.

Mullen, who has previously finished fifth in the World Championships time trial and who was third in the 2015 Rás, clocked a time over the 28-kilometre Minsk city centre course that was only 0.96 seconds outside the bronze-medal-winning time of the Czech Republic’s Jan Barta.
