Colin Lynch lost out on a bronze medal by .02 of a second in the individual pursuit C2 bronze medal ride-off.
Lynch had led the race up until the final moment only to lose out to the 2008 Paralympics champion - France’s Laurent Thirionet.
Lynch took the lead in the race from the start and maintained his advantage of between 1.5 and 2 seconds for the first 2000m.
However, the experience of the Frenchman came through when he clawed his way back over the final 1000m to edge Lynch out of the medals by a heartbreaking 0.12 seconds.
Lynch's time was 3:53.668, while Thirionet clocked 3:53.527.
After his race, Lynch commented: "I hadn’t met Thirionet on the track before, but I knew I had the measure of him on the road.
"I am very disappointed with the result, I tried a strategy and it didn’t work. Next up is the team sprint, and after that I will switch my focus to the road."
