Chris Froome added his first individual world championships medal to the most successful year of his incredible career.
The four-time Tour de France winner took bronze behind Dutchman Tom Dumoulin and Slovenian Primoz Roglic in the time trial in rainy Bergen, Norway, on Wednesday.
Dumoulin, the Olympic time trial silver medalist and Giro d’Italia winner, covered the 19-mile course in 44 minutes, 41 seconds. Roglic was 57.79 seconds slower.
Froome, who owns two Olympic time trial bronze medals, was 1:21.25 behind.
Froome, though possibly tired from sweeping the Tour de France and Vuelta a España this summer, benefited greatly from the layout, which featured a two-mile climb to the finish.
