Sprint Quarter Finals

The sprint quarterfinals were a battle of the young and the experienced. Tsylinskaya (BLR) dominated her rides against the young German Gloess riding in her first ever World Championships. Guo from China, who experienced winning the World Championship as a junior, didn’t look troubled against the gutsy American Reed winning on two heats. Victoria Pendleton had to dig deep in the third heat to overcome the Lithuanian Krupeckaite who left her standing in the second of their heats. Pendleton showed her class to take the victory in the third.

Lisandra Guerra Rodriguez (CUB) had this to say about her ride against Clara Sanchez “I started really well, but I think the crowd helped her [Sanchez] to go faster. Coming out for the final ride was tough but I tried hard and I am please with my ride.

Sprint 1/8 Final

The sprint final ride off were almost a complete European field after the Australians failed to qualify for the final. The current World Keirin Champion Sanchez (FRA) and the 30 year old Natallia Tsylinskaya (BLR) were the favourites for the title. However the Cuban Rodriguez will be looking to upset the French crowd based on her performances so far she has a good chance of an upset.

Sprint 1/16 Final

In the first ride-off the young Cuban rider Lisandra Guerra Rodriguez lead from the 500m mark to take a clear win over the German Welte in a time of 11.803. Second to ride were Pendleton (GBR) and Nivert (FRA). Pendleton lead from the front and never looked troubled by the French rider. Next to ride were Elisa Frisoni (ITA) worked hard to hold off Kerrie Meares (AUS) despite Meares attempts to come round Frisoni held her line and won in a time of 12.605.  

 

Hijgenaar (NED) attempted to hold off the young Chinese rider Lei Zhang (CHN) but the Chinese rider was too strong and caught Hijgenaar on the line. The remaining sprints were easy wins for Jennie Reed (USA), the German pair of Dana Gloess and Christin Muche and unfortunately for Anna Meares the young Chinese rider Jinjie Gong.

Post Sprint 1/16  Comments

Anna Meares (AUS) reaction to missing the cut for the final was remarkably happy “ I had a couple of timing issues but considering the amount of racing I have been doing this year and coming out of the Commonwealth Games I am happy with how I rode. It’s the first time I have race Natallia (Tsylinskaya) she certainly showed me why she is World Champion, she cam past me like a train, the time she rode against me was faster than I rode in the qualifying rounds. I would have liked to get a little further into the competition but it’s such a great contest.” Asked about the noise of the French crowd Meares added “it’s what I would have expected from a home crowd it reminds me of Melbourne it’s a big advantage for the French they should be lapping up the adrenaline that they get from this.”
