Lora Fachie and pilot Corrine Hall won their second gold in as many days at the National Track Championships in Manchester.<\/b><\/p>\n
The two-time Paralympic champions defeated Sophie Unwin and Jenny Holl in the women’s Para B pursuit.<\/p>\n
It completed their double, having pipped world champions Unwin and Holl to gold in Friday’s time trial.<\/p>\n
Lauren Bell <\/b>and Will Perrett<\/b> were among the other British champions crowned on day two at the National Cycling Centre.<\/p>\n
“This isn’t the most important race we’ll do this year by any means, but having confidence going into races really helps,” Fachie told BBC Sport after her victory with Hall.<\/p>\n
The Para-cycling Track World Championships are coming up in March, before the Paris Paralympics take centre stage in late summer.<\/p>\n
“We don’t want to get complacent, our job’s not done here,” Fachie added, “but it’s a stepping stone and shows that we’re going in the right direction.”<\/p>\n
Earlier, Bell defeated 2022 champion Rhian Edmunds in the women’s sprint final, having not dropped a match sprint in any round.<\/p>\n
“I came in with the goal of having fun riding my bike,” said Bell, a two-time world medallist in the team sprint.<\/p>\n
“A lot of time with races, I put a lot of pressure on myself, so I just came here and was enjoying myself.”<\/p>\n
Perrett defended his points race title from 2023, gaining three laps to win by a 42-point margin.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the 120-lap points race, Perrett, the 2023 European omnium bronze medallist, said: “It hit that point you could tell people’s legs were tired, so it was time to go.<\/p>\n
“I got about halfway round and thought ‘why did I do this?’. In three weeks’ time, I’ve got the Hong Kong Nations Cup and that’s what I’m training towards.<\/p>\n
“It feels as though I’m lacking a bit of zip but I’m clearly very fit and strong so hopefully [in the] next couple of weeks I’ll keep building and gain that speed.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
