Team Sky's Vasil Kiryienka earned a goal medal with victory in the 2015 European Games time trial in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The Belarussian finished the 51.6km course to romp home in a time of 59:36 to take the gold medal by more than a minute from Stef Clement of The Netherlands who finished in 1:00:46 with Spain's Luis Leon Sanchez taking bronze with a time of 1:01:09.
Andriy Grivko (Ukraine) was fourth with Rasmus Quaade of Denmark in fifth place.
Great Britain did not enter any riders in the time trial but Ireland did and their sole representative Ryan Mullen finished eighth, 2.41 down on Kiryinenka's time
"My first impression on the bike was good today," Kiryienka is quoted as saying:. "I divided my strength over the sections. In Belarus we have the same kind of roads, so I could prepare very well for this race."
