DAY 7, Friday, October 6

SUMMARY

Day 7 of the 2023 UCI World Masters Track Cycling Championships at Britain’s National Cycling Centre in Manchester saw eight World titles won and Santini rainbow jerseys awarded to the winning riders from around the world along with Gold UCI medals.

The day was a mix of races with Men's Sprinting, Scratch Races, Team Pursuit and a Team Sprint.

In the Men's 35/39 Scratch race, eventual winner, Andrew Magnier lead the sprint out with over a lap to go and held on to win the title of World Champion. In the Men's 40/44 Scratch Race, Simon Wilson rode a stunning race, lapping many of his rivals twice and near the end, chased down Chris Kerdijk (Ned) and sprinted to the victory to win yet another World title.

In the Team Pursuit, the British OHTEN Aveas quartet caught their Austalian rivals just after 2 kilometres to clinch the World Championship for that event. In the Team Sprint, in a highly competitive competition, the Czech Republic saw off the strong challenge of the USA to win that events World championship. In the Men's sprint, three of the categories saw the riders so closely matched, that three of the categories went to a decider match in the best of three competition. In one of them, James Joseph (Guyana) was leading as he and his rival Kurt Sato (USA) came into the home straight when Sato crashed and in the rerun of the match, James Joseph presented himself on the finish line to win as Sato was unable to race him a fourth a time that night after his very fast crash.

Top nation on the night was Great Britain with three World titles whilst there were world titles also for Czech Republic, USA, New Zealand, France and Guyana. A truly international competition.
