BERLIN - Elinor Barker rode to the rescue of British track cycling once again, landing gold with a sensational ride in the points race on the final day of the world championships on Sunday.
However, Welsh rider Barker produced a superb late solo attack in the 25km event to gain a lap on her rivals, securing a crucial 20 points that fired her to the top of the leaderboard. Again the gritty 25-year-old delivered, bouncing back after being part of the quartet crushed by the United States in the team pursuit final and finishing a disappointing sixth in the madison on Saturday when team mate Neah Evans was involved in a crash.
They were outpaced in the team pursuits, in which they are defending Olympic champions, by Denmark’s world-record breaking men and the American women. In the men’s sprints they managed a silver in the team event, although they were dominated by a powerful Dutch unit which also lowered the world record.
I had no idea there was sports stuff, do people even care anymore now it’s no longer about where the people are from but where they train and live 🤷♂️
It’ll be fine once we get a few more trans in the team. Sorry girls you just ain’t gonna have a team much longer. My niece, born a girl, is 19, an athlete who is particularly good at hurdles.... what dreams are left for her? LostAmbition
We're too busy preparing ourselves for complete isolation.
