THE BOTTOM LINE
From Times wire services
Jens Glucklich of East Germany won the 1-kilometer time trial today at the World Cycling Championships in Lyon, France, after Olympic champion Alexandre Kiritchenko of the Soviet Union broke a handlebar less than 200 meters from the finish. Glucklich was timed in 1 minute, 04.032 seconds. Kiritchenko, the last rider on the track, was ahead of Glucklich’s pace after two of the three laps when the right handlebar of his cycle came loose. He had to throw it away and finished in 1:05.060. Kiritchenko was given the chance to race again but refused because of the hot weather.
