Round 1
The first round of the Women’s Keirin saw very few surprises. Stephanie Morton of Australia was perhaps the only notable non-qualifier, as defending champion Kristina Vogel from Germany cruised through to round two.

Kilometre Time Trial
Qualifying
It was a popular home victory for Jeffrey Hoogland in the Men’s Kilo Qualifying with a time of 59.517. Matthew Glaetzer of Australia, who broke his own sea-level world record in the event in February, finished 0.216 seconds behind Hoogland and another Dutchman, Theo Bos, was third. Last year’s winner Francois Pervis of France could only muster 1:00.952 and, with only the top eight qualifying for the final, he will not be defending his title.
