UCI World Championships 2014 – Day 5

The final day of competition at the 2014 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Cali saw more confusion and controversy in the Madison as well as the conclusion of the Women’s Omnium and the Women’s Keirin. 

Women’s Keirin

There were a few surprises in the first round of the Women’s Keirin – including World Champion Rebecca James of Great Britain’s relegation for entering the sprinter’s lane when Fatehah Mustapa of Malaysia was already there. That saw Mustapa go through along with Kristina Vodel of Germany, Wai Sze Lee of Hong Kong and Stephanie Morton of Australia.

James joined team mate Jess Varnish and Anna Meares of Australia in the Repechages and, perhaps unsurprisingly, all three went through to the second round.

Second Round 

Of the pre-race favourites who’d been dumped in to the Repechages, Meares and James made it through to the Final. The Australian trailed home Sandie Clair of France in Heat 1 – with Elena Breshnava of Russia taking third – while James came second to Vogel in the other heat with Dainela Gaxiola of Mexico taking the final spot.

Round 1 heat winners Mustapa and Morton missed out, finishing either side of Varnish in Heat 1 while Lee, too, failed to qualify.
