And on the fifth day, it would come to an end. The worlds that began on Wednesday would finish on the Sunday. Depending on your perspective, France ended up on top of the medal tally with five gold medals – including the Madison and men’s sprint on the final night of competition (as well as two bronze) on the Saint-Quentin-En-Yvelines velodrome. The Australian team’s press release states that Australia was best in the tally, with four gold – including the women’s omnium and women’s kern on the final night – as the Aussies also collected four silver and three bronze.
Whatever your take, the old adage returns: track cycling was the winner from the championships that saw huge crowds on hand to witness fabulous racing.
Once again, with thanks to Wei Yuet Wong and Cervélo Australia, we present a gallery of images from the racing.
