GLASGOW (Reuters) - England’s Alex Dowsett channelled his anger at being left out of the team for this year's Tour de France to win gold in the men’s time trial at the Commonwealth Games on Thursday.

In the absence of England’s Olympic time trial champion Bradley Wiggins, who opted to compete in the track events, the 25-year-old Dowsett swept round the 40km course, which passed through the Scottish countryside before coming back into Glasgow, in a time of 47:41.78.
