Song Baoqing of China won the men's individual time trial title at the Asian Games here on Tuesday.

Song clocked a winning time of 55 minutes 33.35 seconds for the title, taking the second cycling gold for the Chinese delegation.

Tipped as an under-dog, the 25-year-old never took any international title during his 10-year professional career. Song even did not finish the men's road race two days ago.

However, in Tuesday's race, Song demonstrated his sprinting ability from the beginning and dashed out in the last 10km to win his first Asiad gold.

Evgeny Vakker of Kyrgyzstan took the silver in 56:16.83, while the bronze medal was taken by Andrey Mizurov of Kazakhstan at 56:51.92.

In the previous game, the defending Asiad champion Li Meifang of China won the women's individual time trial to take the first cycling gold for Chinese delegation.
