December 17 (Moscow, Russia) — Gina Grain placed 8th today in the scratch race in Moscow. The race was won by Italian world champion Annalisa Cucinotta, ahead of Lesya Kalitovska (Ukr) and Cuban Yoanka Gonzalez Perez. Grain appears to have been a last minute addition to the start list, as she has initially been going to compete only in the point race.

British trade team Recycling.co.uk won the men’s team pursuit beating Germany in the gold medal final. The Russian squad won their ride for bronze in front of a partisan crowd.

As previously reported Zach Bell placed 9th in a hotly contested points race, won by up and coming Russian superstar Mikhail Ignatiev of the new Tinkoff Credit Systems pro team. Five riders succeeded in taking a lap on the rest of the field, but consistent sprinting netted Bell his third consecutive top ten World Cup result.

In the men’s Madison, hometown team Moscow was narrowly beaten by the Netherlands. Both teams lapped had lapped the field, with the Netherlands winning on points over the Moscow team.

Theo Bos continued his domination of men’s sprinting events by defeating Stefan Nimke in the gold medal final. All in a day’s work for Bos, who added an extra ride when he asked to have a timed out of competition re-run yesterday after his initial qualifying run, and set a new world record in the men’s 200m flying start.
