Fatigue to blame as Charlie Tanfield misses out on medal in Munich
Charlie Tanfield admits the physical demands of a jam-packed cycling summer got the better of him after missing out on a European medal in Munich. The Great Ayton star, 25, was denied a spot on the podium by just 1.41s in Saturday night’s individual pursuit bronze medal showdown against Manlio Moro after a third-place finish in qualifying scuppered his hopes of a shot at gold. Ad Tanfield helped steer England to team pursuit silver at this month’s Commonwealth Games before doing the same with Britain’s stars at the European Championships on Friday night.
