Matthew Richardson, Harry Ledingham-Horn and Harry Radford set a new British record on their way to gold in the men’s team sprint at the UCI Track Nations Cup in Turkey.<\/b><\/p>\n
Having been the fastest in qualifying, the British trio posted a record time of 41.788 seconds in the first round, before Ledingham-Horn reversed a narrow deficit against Japan in the gold-medal ride.<\/p>\n
“We worked really well as a team to glue it together,” said Richardson, who was competing with the GB squad for the first time since switching nationality from Australia.<\/p>\n
“It was the first time we had ever raced as a team so we were learning every single ride and trying to take as much as we could from the one before.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Lowri Thomas, Lauren Bell and Rhian Edmunds took silver for Britain in the women’s team sprint, with the Netherlands proving too strong in the final race.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
