Katie Archibald rues flat deficiencies

Scotland's Katie Archibald says that she cannot "kill herself" on flat road after spurning a good lead to finish fifth in the individual time trial.

Scotland cyclist Katie Archibald believes that an inability to "kill herself" on flat terrain cost her a podium finish in this morning's time trial at the Commonwealth Games.

It was looking good for Archibald as the 20-year-old led the pack going into the third checkpoint, but the youngster appeared to run out of steam as she ultimately finished fifth.

New Zealand's Linda Villumsen claimed the gold, and Archibald admits that she "left too much" to do after a physically exerting effort.

"I really liked the country lanes part of the course but I left too much at the end," she told BBC Sport.

"It is a mental game more than anything and I can't kill myself on the flats, that's something to work on I suppose. But there was tremendous support from the crowds. In the busy spots my power went right up."

England's Emma Pooley secured the silver ahead of Katrin Garfoot in third.
