“I feel pretty overwhelmed,” he said. “I came here without any expectations, I just came out to have a good ride and thankfully I did.
“I was always going to be happy no matter what, as long as I got everything out that I could on the day, and I did. I couldn’t have ridden it any better so I’m chuffed with that.”
Elsewhere, Ben Watson was fourth and Fin Graham fifth in the men’s C3 time trial while Will Bjergfelt was ninth in the men’s C5 race – three minutes off the pace – six weeks after suffering a broken fibula.
The event, the last major international competition before the Tokyo Paralympics, continues until Sunday.
