Gold for Jon Dibben at European Champs

Taking laps and points with ease in equal measure, Dibben took a fifth lap with Irish rider Mark Downey to clinch the title saying  “I really enjoyed it, it felt good and my legs felt good.”

“It wasn’t the plan to start easy and build up; I thought I’d be marked which I was but straight away I could tell that a lot of laps were going to be taken. I saw the Ukrainian lad had 90 points and I had 28 and I thought – this is not good! It’s a big event, another jersey, so I’m happy to come here and win it.”

In the Under 23 Women’s event, Emily Nelson came away with the silver medal whilst Joseph Truman won a bronze medal in the under-23 1km time trial with a new personal best time of 1.01.742.

In the Junior Women’s Points Rebecca Raybould also got herself a medal, a bronze one whilst Jake Stewart finished eighth in the junior men’s points race.

In the Junior Men’s Omnium, Ethan Hayter was fastest in the individual pursuit and then sixth in the scratch race before ending the first day in second place overall.
