UCI Track World Cup #1 Manchester Day 1 Report, Results – Canada Wins Women’s Team Pursuit Silver

report by Cycling Canada

November 01, 2013 (Manchester, UK) – The Canadian Women’s Team Pursuit squad started the 2014 UCI Track Cycling World Cup on the right note, earning the silver medal in Manchester, GBR. In doing so, the four-woman team broke the Canadian record, posting a time of 4:27.083.

In the morning qualifying session, Canada moved the gold medal race with the second fastest time of 4:28.0, behind the Olympic and World Champions team from Great Britain.

Great Britain went on to win the gold medal on home turf with a time of 4:19.604, smashing the World Record time that was previously set in the earlier in the day by that same team, while Australia rounded the podium with a time of 4:30.831 in the bronze medal dual facing Russia.

The event marked the first time the Women’s Team Pursuit race is disputed on a 4-km distance, at the World Cup level.

The Canadian team is comprised of Gillian Carleton (Victoria, BC), Laura Brown (Calgary, AB), Allison Beveridge (Calgary, AB), Stephanie Roorda (Vancouver, BC) and Jasmin Glaesser (Coquitlam, BC).

At the 2012 Olympic Games in London, Canada’s team had won the bronze medal with Tara Whitten, Gillian Carleton and Jasmin Glaesser in the line-up, which at the time was a three-woman team.

“I’m very pleased and proud of the riders in the qualifying ride. Everyone executed well which resulted in the time we were expecting,” said Craig Griffin, the Canadian team’s coach. “We rode a second faster than qualifying, losing Jasmin before 3km, which is not typical of her but understandable considering where she was five weeks ago. Laura and Steph had great rides, specifically Steph, who has definitely stepped it up a couple of notches. With a solid Jasmin we are 1.5 seconds quicker. Plenty of improvements to make, so that’s encouraging.”

Laura Brown said: “It was really exciting to be on the start line today as a team of four with the new 4km race format.”

The event continues Saturday with Hugo Barrette (Cap-aux-Meules, QC) racing the Keirin race, while the women’s Points race will be featured on Sunday with Canadians riders Laura Brown and Jasmin Glaesser taking part in the event. Barrette will also take part in the sprint event, also on Sunday. Gillian Carleton will also race the Omnium.
