Time Trial
The TT should be more competitive than the road race as Ranaweera and Rajapakshage are pretty evenly matched.
Ranaweera is the penultimate starter.
Rajapakshage is the last man on the course, at the second check their times are identical. Third placed Dulanjana is well down so it will be between the two favorites.
In the end it comes down to fractions and Ranaweera is the winner. The double for him, his third TT title but his first in the road race.
