Defending champion Sam Gaze was among the leaders for most of the 11 laps of the 0.9km course in Glentress Forest with Pidcock, who started in 31st place, jostled for position in the top 10.Gaze was in front turning into the final straight while Pidcock made a last-ditch move on the inside of Luca Schwarzbauer, which sent the German sliding to the deck.Pidcock then crossed two seconds behind New Zealand’s Gaze, who claimed his second straight title in 20 minutes 27 seconds, despite a desperate lunge by Victor Koretzky of France.GB’s Anna Henderson was denied a medal in the women’s individual time trial as USA’s Chloe Dygert claimed her second world title.Dygert, 26, set a time of 46:59.80 before Henderson went into second place after going 1:15.05 slower. But Austria’s Christina Schweinberger nudged Henderson, 24, into third before Australia’s Grace Brown missed out on gold by just 5.67secs.Dygert, who won the 2019 world title in Harrogate before suffering a serious leg injury as she crashed in 2020, shook off a cold to win on Thursday.There were plenty more Para-cycling medals for GB on day eight in Scotland, with two coming in the women’s C1 individual time trial as Frances Brown won gold and Katie Toft took bronze.Finlay Graham won silver in the men’s C3 individual time trial and Amelia Cass claimed bronze in the women’s C2 individual time trial.Sophie Unwin and her pilot Jenny Holl came second in the women’s B individual time trial, behind Ireland’s Katie-George Dunlevy and her pilot Linda Kelly.
