Two days after leading Great Britain to team glory, Matthew Richardson won men’s sprint gold at the UCI Track Nations Cup in Turkey.

Richardson, who was born in Kent and left Australia last year, defeated British team-mate Harry Ledingham-Horn in the final on Sunday.

On their way to gold in the men’s team sprint, Richardson, Ledingham-Horn, and Harry Radford broke a new British record on Friday.

The British trio set a record for the first round of qualifying time of 41.788 seconds, before Ledingham-Horn overcame a narrow deficit with Japan in the gold-medal ride.
