Hoy claims men's keirin championship

Sir Chris Hoy had to dig deep to produce a world class final sprint to come past his rivals and win the men’s keirin title on Friday night.

The triple Olympic champion seemed too far back with a lap to go but started his sprint early and then flew past his rivals down the back straight and went around the outside to win it at the line. David Daniell hung on to take second ahead of young Philip Hindes who eclipsed a trio of Sky riders to take the bronze medal in what was a world class keirin final.

Jon Mould of the 100% ME development team got some help from his teammates to take the Scratch title after a battle with the Science in Sport-com riders team. Points race champion Pete Kennaugh (Team Sky) was a non-starter despite qualifying and so the race was wide open. Mark Christian, Josh Papworth, Adam Duggleby, Mould and Adam Yates, finally went clear with 50 laps to go and lapped the field within 15 laps. Mould then accelerated down the back straight to win and claim the win from Duggleby and Yates respectively.

Lizzie Armistead made up for a disappointing world championship result on the road in Copenhagen by taking the women’s points race title.

She faced new world junior Road champion Lucy Garner and Laura Trott but was part of the early action and took a lap with Joanna Rowsell, Trott and later King and Corinne Hall, the defending champion did the same. Trott and Armistead emerged as the strongest but the latter had more speed and picked up more points, going to win by eight points.

Rebecca James is the new women’s national sprint champion after winning with an impressive 2 - 0 in the final, beating Jess Varnish. James produced two final laps to beat Varnish - the first after diving below her opponent, the second after leading out from the front.
Victoria Williamson dominated the race off for bronze, proving too strong for Jess Crampton, who James had beaten 2-0 in the semi-finals.
