2013 Champion Laura Trott started her title defence by taking an early lead in the Women’s 3000m Individual Pursuit. Trott had been marginally beat by up-coming trackie Katie Archibald in the earlier qualification session. Archibald responded immediately and was soon matching the pace of Trott. As the race progressed through the mid way point, Archibald began to move ahead of Trott and with every lap, slowly moved into a comfortable two second lead. Scotland’s Katie Archibald claims her first senior Track Cycling National Title.

Steven Burke trailed Andrew Tennant in this mornings qualifying by almost five seconds. Setting off at a blistering place in his ride for Gold against Tennant, at one point had him in his sights for that elusive early catch. Tennant kept his machine-like pace, and by the midway point had turned the table, with Burke now in his sights. Burke’s legs were buckling by this point, so it didn’t take much longer for Andrew Tennant, to catch, and take the Championship Jersey.
