Earlier in the day, Anna Morris picked up her third medal of the Championships with a perfectly-timed final sprint in the women’s points race.<\/p>\n

Morris added to her individual pursuit gold and bronze in the team pursuit.<\/p>\n

“I’m really, really happy. I wasn’t sure when it finished – I thought it was top five but my coach told me I was second,” Morris said.<\/p>\n

“It has been a solid week on the whole.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Matt Richardson – who switched allegiance<\/a> from Australia to Great Britain last year – also took home a silver medal on the final day after coming up short against long-time rival Harrie Lavreysen of the Netherlands in the men’s sprint final.<\/p>\n

Lavreysen won the first race by 0.094secs and was 0.050secs clear of Richardson in the second to seal his seventh consecutive world championship gold in the event.<\/p>\n

In the men’s madison, Mark Stewart and Josh Tarling placed second behind Belgian duo Lindsay de Vylder and Fabio van den Bossche, amassing 73 points – eight fewer than the champions – in the 200-lap race.<\/p>\n

That took Great Britain’s final medal haul to 14 – winning four gold, eight silver and two bronze – but they finished second to the Netherlands in the overall table.<\/p>\n

Speaking to BBC Sport, GB sprint coach and seven-time Olympic champion Sir Jason Kenny said: “We’ve missed out on some medals that we felt we could have been competitive for, but we’ve come away with a really good haul with some new medallists, so it’s really exciting.<\/p>\n

“The fact that we were on the podium more than ever shows that we were competitive across the board, and it’s really positive.<\/p>\n

“Next year’s World Championships will go towards Olympic qualification so things will start getting really serious, and I think given the age profile of the team – and the fact that we are so competitive in so many events – is a really good place to start the Olympic journey.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Earlier in the day, Anna Morris picked up her third medal of the Championships with a perfectly-timed final…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":227154,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-227153","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cycling","8":"tag-cycling","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227153\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
