Laura Trott wins Britain's fourth London Track World Cup gold in omnium

Laura Trott took her second gold of the London Track World Cup meeting tonight, as she sealed victory in the omnium that she led from start-to-finish.

Trott successfully marshalled the field, including nearest challenger Belgian rider Jolien d'Hoore, throughout the 100-lap points race.

The Olympic champion went into the race with a 14-point margin over d'Hoore, who won sprint seven to reduce the gap to just eight. D'Hoore also attacked with 19 laps remaining, but Trott neutralised that move, as well as one shortly after from eventual third-placed finisher Kirsten Wild. She then won the penultimate sprint to clinch victory by 12 points.

“After you win quite a lot of events, people expect you to win. It's hard,” said Trott. “You go into training sessions, you feel rubbish and then you try to think about the next event. It does sometimes get on top of you.

“To race in front of a home crowd again is just amazing and it is such a confidence boost to win again here in London.”

Jess Varnish was initially knocked out of the women's keirin at the second round, but earned a reprieve when Russian Ekaterina Gnidenko was disqualified for entering the sprinters' lane in the heat. She led out early in the final, but was swamped and came home in fifth.

Jon Dibben rode aggressively in final race of the men's omnium, the points race, and settled for seventh overall.
