The Netherlands took three more rainbow jerseys with Harrie Lavreysen\u2019s triumph in the men\u2019s kilometre time trial, Lorena Wiebes’ in the women\u2019s omnium and Hetty van de Wow\u2019s in the women\u2019s sprint at the UCI Track World Championships in Santiago, Chile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joshua Tarling in the men\u2019s points race and Josh Charlton in the men\u2019s individual pursuit brought Team GB two gold medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The session opened with a thriller that crowned Tarling in the men\u2019s point race. A former Junior UCI World Champion on the road (individual time trial in 2022) and a dominant force in the UCI WorldTour, the 21-year-old powerhouse claimed his first Elite rainbow jersey through a commanding performance, taking one lap on the field and achieving a total of 56 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe rainbow jersey stays with you forever,\u201d Tarling rejoiced. \u201cI\u2019ll have it up in the house and it\u2019ll look super nice. It\u2019s a perfect way to end the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The USA\u2019s Peter Moore was the only contender to take two laps on the field, eventually scoring 48 points and claiming the silver medal. Cl\u00e9ment Petit won the final sprint to snatch third place (41 points) and take France\u2019s first medal in Santiago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was three titles for the Netherlands\u2019 Harrie Lavreysen in Santiago, and 19 rainbow jerseys for the Oranje history maker, who used his stunning power to rule the kilometre time trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The eventual winner was trailing behind his teammate Jeffrey Hoogland after 750 metres but turned the tables with a finish time of 57.978 (62.093km\/h), against 58.163 (61.895km\/h) for his countryman. Great Britain\u2019s Joseph Truman rounded out the podium (+1.290).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lavreysen will now aim for a 20th UCI Track World Champion in the individual sprint, starting from Saturday. A fourth rainbow jersey in the same edition would be unprecedented for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI felt really strong this morning and rode a really good kilometre [57.681] but tonight was pretty hard. I felt the legs and it was really close on the finish line,\u201d Lavreysen said. \u201cI hope to recover well from this. Tomorrow will be hard and I hope I can make it to Sunday and go for [a 20th rainbow jersey]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A two-time silver medallist last year (in the individual pursuit and team pursuit), Great Britain\u2019s Josh Charlton claimed the rainbow jersey in Santiago as he beat Denmark\u2019s Rasmus Pedersen in the final of the individual pursuit. The 22-year-old rider covered the 4,000 metres in 4:04.122 (58.987 km\/h) to get the better of his Danish rival (+3.374), crowned on Thursday in the team pursuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFrom last year, the big goal coming into this season was to go one step bigger and it just feels incredible to pull it off, it\u2019s been a long time coming,\u201d said Charlton as he became the first British winner of the individual pursuit since Bradley Wiggins (2003, 2007, 2008). The bronze medal went to the USA\u2019s Anders Johnson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Netherlands Lorena Wiebes continued her extraordinary streak of rainbow success: winner of the Bolero UCI Gravel World Championships a couple of weeks ago, crowned again in the scratch two days ago on the opening night of the Tissot UCI Track World Championships, and now ruler of the omnium as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although she led the standings after strong performances in the scratch (1st), the tempo race (6th) and the elimination (1st), the Oranje star had to battle all the way to the final sprint of the points race to get the better of France\u2019s Marion Borras, who had taken the lead with a daring attack. Wiebes eventually took the win with 136 points, 9 more than Borras. Denmark\u2019s Amalie Dideriksen rounds out the podium (120 points).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m really happy to be also first in the omnium,\u201d Wiebes said. \u201cIt was a bit about seeing what I could do here and I\u2019m really happy overall. At the end, the points race was really important, going all out in that final sprint. [Marion Borras] is a really strong rider so I tried to keep my head cool and focused on the last sprint.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dutch powerhouses rule supreme in Santiago, as illustrated by Hetty van de Wouw in the women\u2019s sprint to cap off an electric evening. Already winner of the women\u2019s team pursuit, the Dutch rider dominated Japan\u2019s Mina Sato to take the Netherlands\u2019 second title in the women\u2019s individual sprint, 34 years after that of Ingrid Haringa. The Dutch have won all the sprint events so far in Santiago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very pleasing,\u201d Van de Wouw said. \u201cI don\u2019t have many words for it. [Mina Sato] is a very strong rider and she likes to go and have a long sprint. I needed to do something to interrupt that or make it too long for her, and I think I did well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the final for bronze, Alina Lysenko (AIN) got the better of Iana Burlakova (AIN), who had eliminated the two-time defending champion, Briton Emma Finucane in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
