November 01, 2017 (London, England) – Prior to the start of the UCI Track World Cup season, two of Canada’s Olympic bronze medalists participated in the women’s competition at the Six Day London, held at the 2012 Olympic velodrome in Great Britain. The women raced for the final three of the six days of competition, with Allison Beveridge finishing fifth overall and Jasmin Duehring seventh.
“We had a few ups and downs through the three days,” admitted Beveridge, “but that’s the great thing about the Six Day London, with three or four races a night you get to go out and try a few different things. We [the women] only got to do three days, but it would be interesting to do all six days; it would be hard, but it would be fun to do all six.”
“We both used it as a learning opportunity, since we haven’t been in a bunch race situation in a long time. The more we get out there and do group racing, the more comfortable and tactically savvy we will become.”
British riders swept the top four spots in the final overall standings, with Katie Archibald winning the overall title with 310 points. Beveridge finished with 202 points and Duehring had 190.
