Cycling: Martin defends men's time-trial title to make it a double for Germany

Germany's Tony Martin defended his men's time-trial title at the UCI Road World Championships in the Netherlands with a narrow triumph over Taylor Phinney, of the United States.

Martin, the Olympic silver medallist in London behind Bradley Wiggins, completed the 45.7km route in a time of 58 minutes 38.76 seconds to claim Germany's second time-trial success in Limburg after Judith Arndt won the elite women's event on Tuesday.
