\nGreat Britain finished their home TISSOT UCI Track World Cup on a high as the women\u2019s team pursuit quartet reigned supreme in Manchester.<\/p>\n
That meant the home nation finished the event with three gold medals – a tally matched on her own by the remarkable German sprinter Kristina Vogel, who added individual sprint victory on the final day to her two previous successes this weekend.<\/p>\n
The frenetic men\u2019s Madison brought a close to the event with a win for Danes Niklas Larsen and Casper von Folsach, while Australia\u2019s Matthew Glaetzer had a record-setting day on his way to winning the kilometre time trial and Matthijs Buchli took gold in the keirin.<\/p>\n
In the end, Germany topped the Manchester medal table with four gold medals in total, while Britain where second with three golds among five medals.<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s sprint final was set up after Kristina Vogel eased past the Netherland\u2019s Shanne Braspennincx in straight rides and Laurine van Riessen despatched Russia\u2019s Anastasiia Voinova, in the same method.<\/p>\n

Vogel then again showed her class as she outpaced her opponent in the final, winning in straight rides to rack up a third gold medal of the weekend, and sixth from the opening two rounds of the TISSOT UCI Track World Cup.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m quite happy, but quite tired,\u201d said the nine-time world champion.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was the third big event in a month with the Europeans and two World Cups, but I\u2019m very happy.”<\/p>\n
\u201cThe mental side is hard, because you know you are the fastest but the other riders get to watch your previous race.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to be good in your head and sometimes that is more important than the race.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The bronze medal eventually went to Voinova, as the Russian beat Braspennincx in the deciding third ride.<\/p>\n

Brilliant Brits<\/h4>\n
With the British team pursuit having got through to the gold medal ride earlier in the day without the rested Elinor Barker and Katie Archibald, the Madison winning duo returned to set a blistering time and win their second golds of the weekend.<\/p>\n
Joining Neah Evans and Emily Nelson, the quartet beat European champions Italy in the final, clocking 4:16.803 to win by almost five seconds, with Japan claiming bronze.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think we expected to go that fast, so to go that fast in front of a home crowd is really special and it made such a difference to have everyone cheering you on,\u201d said Nelson, who rode all three rounds for Great Britain.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey weren\u2019t comfortable races at all, I think that obviously riding all three rounds is hard but it worked out well, resting Katie and Elinor after their Madison.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just had to go out there and do our best ride, and we did that.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Record-setting Glaetzer<\/h4>\n
Glaetzer had opened the day with the fastest ever kilometre time trial at sea level, clocking 59.970s.<\/p>\n
Scot Callum Skinner qualified second fastest for 100% ME, but while Glaetzer could back his ride up in the final, winning with an effort of 1:00.081, Skinner settled for third as Germany\u2019s Eric Engler took silver.<\/p>\n
But the day belonged to Glaetzer and he was understandably chuffed with his efforts.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m stoked with the first kilo ride,\u201d said the 25-year-old.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I crossed the line I heard a nine. I was just hoping it was 59, not 1:09. So I looked up at the clock and thought \u2018yes, I\u2019ve finally done it\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a goal of mine for a while and I was surprised that I got it tonight, actually.”<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s awesome. There are legends of the sport that have done the event, like Sir Chris Hoy, that I\u2019ve looked up to.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my first World Championships I went up against him in the sprint individually. He\u2019s been a benchmark in the sport for such a long time, so for me now to try the event and have so much success-is really special.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dutchman Buchli crashed at high speed in the individual sprint semi-finals on Saturday, but showed no ill effects on the final day in Manchester as he took the keirin title ahead of Ukraine\u2019s Andrii Vynokurov.<\/p>\n
The Beat Cycle Club rider won by just 0.011s as Spain\u2019s Juan Peralta picked up the bronze in an event that saw world champion Azizul Awang fail to make the final.<\/p>\n

Danes bring the curtain down<\/h4>\n
The day\u2019s closing event saw young Danish pair Larsen and Pedersen steal a victory in the closing moments with a last-gasp lap.<\/p>\n
Trailing the Polish leaders by 11 points with less than 20 laps to go, the pair attacked with French world champions Morgan Kneisky and Benjamin Thomas, eventually making the junction just in time for the final sprint.<\/p>\n
The two teams finished level on points, but with the Danes finishing higher than their rivals in the final sprint, it was them who took the win.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the Polish guys took a lap, we knew if we were going to get the victory, we would have to take a lap as well,\u201d said von Folsach.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was just on our limits, and theirs as well, but I saw Niklas when the Poles were going quite slow and I knew it was now or never.\u201d<\/p>\n
Larsen added: \u201cI looked back when I made my last change and then went full gas.”<\/p>\n
\u201cI decided to see what it would be after the last sprint because it was very close. We just had to give it our all.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
