The British rider solidified her position at the head of the standings with fourth place in the 500-metre and third in the flying-lap. Hammer could not better either of those results, and finished the competition with a silver medal, 18 points down on the Olympic gold medallist. Laurie Berthon of France had an impressive day, finishing second in the time trial and winning the flying-lap.
It was enough to see her move into third and take bronze. Jolien D’Hoore won the points race, the final event of the competition.
“I think this track, because it's quite grippy, I think it took the steam out of everybody and it ended up just being a race where you could just follow and sit in a lot more,” said Trott in statement released by her team.
