Brown maintains British dominance in paracyclingWood and Stewart settle for silver in men’s Madison
Great Britain’s medal rush stalled a little on the seventh day of the UCI Cycling World Championships, although the home nation’s paracyclists maintained their dominance with Fran Brown winning gold in the C1 scratch race and Neil Fachie, racing with Matthew Rotherham, Amy Cole and Elizabeth Jordan, taking a 19th world title in the mixed B team sprint.
Brown’s success in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome came despite her lack of experience in scratch racing. “I had never done a bunch race before and I had not ridden in a bunch since 2019,” she said. “I find it very hard to look behind me and ride because of my disability.”
