Australia claimed four titles, and Great Britain took three, while there were also wins for Belgium, France (two), Italy, Spain and Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Saturday\u2019s first final, the Men\u2019s C1 elimination race, Ricardo Ten Argiles followed his own example from Friday\u2019s scratch race: hit the front and stay there. It\u2019s tough to argue with, and Ivan Ermakov (AIN) tried \u2013 right up to his limit \u2013 but the Spaniard held on for the win. Belgium\u2019s Lennert Vanlathem took bronze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Women\u2019s B time trial final, the reigning World and Paralympic Champions Elizabeth Jordan and Dannielle Khan of Great Britain, hit 1:06.796 (53.895 km\/h) for the 1km distance, to get the better of the New Zealanders Emma Foy and pilot Jesse Hodges \u2013 with Australians Jessica Gallagher and Jaqui Mengler-Mohr taking bronze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WC2 sprint final saw a game of cat and mouse between Switzerland\u2019s Flurina Rigling and the home rider Sabrina Cust\u00f3dia Da Silva \u2013 drummed and cheered by fans in the velodrome \u2013 with Germany\u2019s Maike Hausberger stalking the pair. It was Rigling who took the win ahead of the Brazilian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Men\u2019s C3 elimination f<strong>i<\/strong>nal saw the early elimination for 2024 UCI World Championships bronze medalist Devon Briggs (NZL). The last two laps were fought between Australia\u2019s Korey Boddington \u2013 with two golds in the first two days of the competition \u2013 and Britain\u2019s Finlay Graham, who had already claimed two bronze medals. And it was a third win of the Championships for Boddington, with Graham stepping up to silver on day three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Men\u2019s C2 1km time trial, the 2024 UCI World Champion Alexandre L\u00e9aute (FRA), retained his rainbow bands with a time of 1:09.003, some +1.345-sec ahead of Hidde Buur (NED), while Gordon Allan (AUS), silver medallist in 2024, took bronze this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LIVE - Day 3 Finals | 2025 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yZhTJa853cI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Men\u2019s C5 sprint finals, Belgium\u2019s Niels Verschaeren led the trio across the line in a time of 11.012 (65.383km\/h). he was followed by Austrain Franz-Josef L\u00e4sser and Alfonso Cabello Llamas (ESP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Australia\u2019s Tahlia Clayton-Goodie took her third title in three days with victory in the Women\u2019s C1 1km time trial, in a time of 1:25.366 \u2013 an average speed of 42.171km\/h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With home riders pushing the pace in the MC4 10 km scratch race it was down to favourites including France\u2019s Gatien Le Rousseau and Great Britain\u2019s Archie Atkinson to close them down. With 12 laps to go the race was neutralised as a number of riders crashed. And with all riders looked after and safe, from the restart it was Le Rousseau who pushed lap after lap \u2013 but Atkinson timed his effort superbly to take the win from the Frenchman on the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Australia\u2019s Erin Normoyle pushed the pace throughout the WC4 sprint and just held off Great Britain\u2019s Kadeena Cox who tried to come round her off the final corner \u2013 but the Aussie was strongest, winning in 13.919. Siobhan Terry (NZL) was third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the USA won the MB individual pursuit race for bronze, overhauling the Polish tandem, in the gold medal final, the UCI World and Paralympic silver and bronze medallists went head to head: Britain\u2019s Stephen Bate and Christopher Latham versus Italy\u2019s Lorenzo Bernard and Paolo Tot\u00f2. The British tandem made the catch just before race distance \u2013 with Bate being given the guard of honour after victory in his last race before retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the sprint finals for WC5, Italy\u2019s Claudia Cretti continued her superb streak of form, winning in 13.537 ahead of the Kiwi Nicole Murray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily Petricola rode with wisdom in the WC3 elimination final. The Australian survived early scares before protecting herself. Canada\u2019s Mel Pemble took silver, and the Netherlands\u2019 Aniek Van den Aarssen bronze.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another evening of drama and high-speed competition saw seven nations take rainbow bands on day three of four<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4886,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[135],"class_list":["post-4883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsbeat","tag-para-cycling"],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling.jpg",2400,1419,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling-300x177.jpg",300,177,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling-768x454.jpg",640,378,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling-1024x605.jpg",640,378,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling-1536x908.jpg",1536,908,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling-2048x1211.jpg",2048,1211,true],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling-825x575.jpg",825,575,true],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling-590x410.jpg",590,410,true]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/category\/newsbeat\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Newsbeat<\/a>","tag_info":"Newsbeat","comment_count":"0","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4883"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4883\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4887,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4883\/revisions\/4887"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
