GB men win team sprint gold at Track Nations Cup

On their way to gold in the men’s team sprint at the UCI Track Nations Cup in Turkey, Matthew Richardson, Harry Ledingham-Horn, and Harry Radford established a new British record.

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.

Richardson, who was competing for the first time since moving from Australia with the GB squad, said, “We worked really well as a team to put it all together.”

We were learning every ride and taking as much as we could from the previous one because it was our first time competing as a team.
