Kiry goes close in Pais Vasco TT

Vasil Kiryienka finished third in the stage four time trial at the Vuelta al Pais Vasco as Primoz Roglic came out on top.

Kiryienka finished 11 seconds behind Roglic and just two behind Patrick Bevan (BMC Racing) who led for most of the time trial, with penultimate rider Roglic pipping him to the post. 

Kiryienka was just two seconds off the best time set by Bevan, with Jonathan Castroviejo (fourth) and Michal Kwiatkowski (fifth) rounding off a Team Sky-heavy top five. 

David De La Cruz was the fourth Team Sky rider in the top 10, finishing 37 seconds down on Roglic to move up to 12th overall.
