Cycling: McCallum fades in Trossachs
But there was consolation for the Commonwealth Games medallist in knowing that the man on the top step of the podium was his Rapha Condor-Sharp team mate Ben Greenwood, who had done much of the work the previous weekend in helping McCallum to victory in the Duncan McGregor Memorial event - race three in the Scottish Power Renewables Super Six Series.
And McCallum was happy to return the favour in the Trossachs yesterday, working alongside his colleague over the 80-mile route before losing out in the closing stages and crossing the line six seconds in arrears.
