Cycling: Claire keeps up fine form
The Scottish road race champion was ideally placed at the front of the 102-strong field entering the closing stages of the 98-kilometre event but was edged out in the home straight, with the Belgian rider Kelly Druyts pipping the Australian Kirsty Broun to snatch the win.
It was the second top ten finish in less than a week for Edinburgh RC rider Thomas, who had claimed ninth place at the Omloop Burcht last weekend.
