Italy’s Elia Viviani won the men’s points race at the 2013 European Track Championships in Apeldoom on Friday, while Kirsten Wild of the Netherlands won the women’s division. Wild reached 12 points to equal Dani King and then finished second behind solo attacker Leire Olaberria of Spain in the last sprint to take the title. Thomas Bauda was second and Eloy Teruel of Spain took the bronze medal in the men’s race .
Russia won the women’s team sprint title, while Germany beat France to win the men’s team sprint. Great Britain continued to dominate the team pursuit events; the men’s quartet beat Russia in a close final, while the Great Britain women’s team set a new world record in both the qualifying and final rides in one of the first ever major championships with women racing over a distance of 4000 meters and with four riders.
Elinor Barker, Dani King, Joanna Rowsell, Katie Archibald and Laura Trott smashed their own world time of 4:28.738 seconds for the new 4000m distance. With King replacing Rowsell for the final, the Great Britain team then posted an even faster time of 4:26.453. The second-placed Polish team finished more than nine-seconds behind.
With all five riders having contributed to the team’s performance, Barker, King, Rowsell, Trott and Archibald were all presented with a European champion’s jersey and medal.
In the men’s team pursuit, Ed Clancy, Steven Burke, Owain Doull and Andy Tennant recorded a time of 4:02.258 to earn them both the gold medal and the European champions’ jerseys. Russia put up a fight, finishing just 0.2 of second slower in the final. The Netherlands took the bronze beating Spain in their ride-off.
