Day seven round-up

THRILLING CLIMAX TO VELODROME TRACK EVENTS

It was always going to be an exciting finale to the track action and we couldn’t tear ourselves away from the racing. In the men’s racing, we were treated to an outstanding final in the Keirin in which Kevin Santiago Quintero Chavarro outfoxed everyone to win in emphatic style.

The men’s Points race was won by over 20 points by New Zealand’s unstoppable Aaron Gate, Spain’s Albert Torres Barcelo and Belgium’s Fabio van den Bossche followed in 2nd and 3rd.

Last on track tonight, the women’s Omnium culminated in the Points race after exciting rounds of Scratch, Tempo and Elimination with Jennifer Valente in the lead. Despite a flurry of attacks by Great Britain’s Katie Archibald and Danish rider Amalie Dideriksen, Jennifer played a smart game, picking up enough points to defend from the front and secure her second world title in a row.
