Immediately behind leader in little time? (6)
I believe the answer is:
second
This clue could be a double definition.
'immediately behind' is the first definition.
'second' can be an answer for 'behind' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'immediately' bit.
'leader in little time?' is the second definition.
'second' can be an answer for 'time?' (unit of time). I'm not sure about the 'leader in little' bit.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for second that I've seen before include "bit" , "another?" , "Support - runner-up" , "Not first team (6,6) - See 25" , "Next to first" .)
