Continuing to push the pace, McQueen didn’t let up on to the bike, as he quickly dropped Stapley, with Dickinson and Stapley the only two athletes within ten seconds of the American by the time they got on the run.

Looking smooth and racing smart, McQueen held strong out in front, as Dickinson and Stapley reeled him in, with the Top 3 separated by a handful of seconds and with a good gap over the rest of the field.

Contenders such as Simon Henseleit and Milner were more than ten seconds back after the first stage, with James Edgar at +0:17 and Harry Leleu down almost half a minute, a testament to the lightning quick pace up front.

Stage 2 – McQueen extends advantage

Starting in reverse order for the second leg, Milner and Hueber-Moosbrugger led off the run, splitting 2:43 and 2:45 for the kilometre to start the bike with a sizeable gap over leader McQueen.

On to the bike, the leading trio of Stapley, McQueen and Dickinson started to make their way back up to the front, as they reeled in Milner and started to close on Hueber-Moosbrugger, who was riding well up front.

Off the bike, there was a big gap between the leading quartet and the rest of the field, with the likes of Edgar, Henseleit, Milner and Graf more than ten seconds off the front heading into the water.

Side-by-side into the pool, Hueber-Moosbrugger and McQueen had a gap over Stapley and Dickinson starting the 200m swim, and it was McQueen who took full advantage of the opportunity.

Splitting a rapid 2:04, McQueen was +0:07 up on Graf after the second stage and had +0:09 over Dickinson and Stapley, meaning he started the pursuit style final stage with a +0:12 advantage over the Brits.

With a bike gap back to the rest of the field, the medals looked set to be decided between this trio, with the American hoping to upset the British duo in front of a roaring home crowd in London.

Pushing well over 5.0w/kg for the 4km bike leg, McQueen extended his lead at the front, as second-by-second he started to tighten his grip on the championship.

Off the bike, a great transition saw the 29-year-old ahead +0:18 with just a kilometre run separating him from the win, as further back, Hueber-Moosbrugger passed Dickinson into third.

Holding strong, McQueen took the world title in emphatic fashion, holding off Stapley for the win, with Frenchman Hueber-Moosbrugger clinching third after a fantastic run.
