Jason Kenny and Simon Yates were the British heros from day 3 of the UCI World Track Championships in Minsk (Belarus). Olympic champion Kenny struck gold in the Men’s Keirin whilst Academy rider Simon Yates, a stage winner in the Tour de Avenier, matched the achievement of his coach Chris Newton by winning one of the toughest events on the track, the Points race.

Kenny adds Keirin title to Sprint
Jason Kenny followed in the wheelmarks of Sir Chris Hoy’s by winning the Keirin title after a series of rides which were very different to the Scottish hero. Hoy is known for his dominate style of winning everything he races in with the Keirin, whilst Kenny had to come back through the reps, ending the hopes of teammate Matt Crampton in the process.

Then, in round 2, Kenny only proceeded further after Frenchman Francois Pervis was relegated. Kenny grasped his chance though in the final with the 24-year-old three-time Olympic gold medallist riding the perfect race, squeezing through the six-man field on the penultimate lap and then powering past Germany’s Maximilian Levy on the home straight.

Kenny’s previous best result in the Keirin at the Worlds was a Bronze in Melbourne (Australia) in 2012, when double Olympic champion Hoy collected his fourth world title. “It was unbelievable,” Kenny told BBC Sport. “I put my hopes on Levy, saying I would stick to him and try and pass at the finish, which is how it worked out.”

“I looked back and saw us all strung out like it was Chris Hoy leading us out. I still had a little bit to get through the finish. I was suffering a crisis of confidence after coming sixth in the Team Sprint. But a bit of luck finally went my way and the final lap unfolded perfectly.”

Yates wins his first Senior World Title
If you are going win your first world title, why not make it in an event regarded as one of the hardest of all the endurance events, the Points race. That’s what Simon Yates (20 years old) did when he produced a terrific last-lap burst to win the 160-lap, 40km points race.

Simon Yates biggest win before his World title was a stage in the Tour de Avenir.

Yates was making his debut at a senior World Championships and in the past few seasons since coming out of the Junior ranks, the North West rider has shown glimpses of brilliance in his career so far and the Points race in Minsk was just such a ride.

Yates got his tactics right when it mattered most, closing in on the riders above him by picking up points from sprints in the closing stages and then striking for the line on the last lap. Yates told BBC Sport: “That was absolutely brilliant. I’ve had perfect preparation and the race worked out perfectly.”

“I was trying to conserve energy at the start and then the race came to me and I started getting involved with the sprints and then I realised I was only one point behind with the final sprint coming up.” Chris Boardman was impressed saying on BBC “I can’t believe the way Simon Yates looked after his own resources and the confidence he showed.”

“He didn’t over-extend, but he took some risks. He plotted all moves and knew which were going to stay away and which weren’t. It was such a clever and mature piece of riding. I thought he’d gone too far back in the field with two laps remaining. ”

Becky James fastest in Women’s Sprint

The day also saw Becky James come to the fore in Women’s Sprinting. Qualifying fastest, something Victoria Pendleton struggled with at times, James backed that up with some awesome match sprinting to sail through to the semi finals.

The 21-year-old from Abergavenny has already won two Bronze medals this week, in the Team Sprint and 500m time trial, but she will go for gold if she beats China’s Shuang Guo in the next round.

In the Women’s Scratch race, Dani King , part of Britain’s Gold medal winning women’s team pursuit trio, finished sixth in the 10km scratch race whilst a rider only just out of the Junior ranks, Jon Dibben is holding his own in the Men’s Omnium, an event that tests a riders speed and endurance to the max. The 19-year-old sits in 11th place at the halfway mark of the six-discipline event.
