Great Britain put in a big day of work in front of the home crowd Saturday at the UCI Track World Cup II in Manchester, taking out wins in the men's team pursuit and women's Madison, while the women's team pursuit squad set the fastest qualifying time ahead of recent European championship winners Italy.
In the men's team pursuit, the four-man squad of Steven Burke, Ed Clancy, Oliver Wood and Kian Emadi easily outpaced runner-sip Denmark by nearly six seconds, while bronze winner France narrowly beat Team KGF in a much closer battle. Great britain's Elinor Barker and Katie Archibald kept the home team's momentum rolling with a two-point win over Belgians Jolien D'hoore and Lotte Kopecky.
In other finals taking place on Saturday, world champion Benjamin Thomas (France) took the Omnium win ahead of Niklas Larsen (Denmark). Albert Torres (Spain) was third. Thomas dominated the one-day, four-event Omnium, winning both the tempo race and points race, and then finishing second in the scratch and elimination races. Larsen won the elimination race, was second in the points and tempo races but slipped to fifth on the Omnium-opening 10km scratch race.
