Track Champion’s League: Brits on Fire in Berlin

Women’s Scratch and Elimination winner Katie Archibald said: “The Scratch was really tough. I wanted to attack early, but then I thought ‘I’ll hold back’. Suddenly Jennifer Valente rode over, and from my seat it looked like she might decide to go when no one else could. She came with me, and we had to commit. I was thinking I’ll take a gamble and made my move. When we got the lap, I felt a bit more confident. The Elimination was also a hard race until the very end. However, tonight has gone brilliantly and two wins feels amazing. I feel like I’ve come in with a super power. I always love riding here in Berlin, I adore it. The crowd tonight was fantastic. I’m very happy to be back in the mix in the Endurance league.”

Men’s Scratch winner Oliver Wood said: “I just got into a lucky move. Claudio Imhof was strong, but I played my cards right. I was pretty cooked, but I tried to place myself correctly for the sprint. I kept my eye on my shoulder, to see the other two riders, but they weren’t there. It feels great to win in front of a velodrome full of this many people.”
