The Time-Trial Championship came to an end last week with the final hillclimb in Miżieb.

The gruelling circuit was added to the calendar this year and it proved to be a tough challenge. The race for the overall honours remained undecided till the very end.

Fastest on the day was Christian Formosa. The Melita Pedal Power rider covered the distance in 2:24. He was followed by team-mate Maurice Formosa (2:29) and Etienne Bonello, of Team Greens (2:30).

Third place was enough for Bonello to be crowned champion after the Team Greens rider dominated the first two time trial rounds, in Mrieħel and Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq.

Thanks to his victory in Miżieb, Formosa leapfrogged Steve Sciberras (Mosta AF Sign Studio) in third place in the final standings.
