Barrette rode from the front to win his opening round heat round in the men’s keirin competition during the morning session. With an average speed of more than 71 km/h over the last 200m, the heat was the fastest of the competition.
In the second round later that afternoon, Barrette was the innocent victim as one of his competitors sudden move up the track with just under three laps to go, sending him tumbling off the track. As the race wasn’t stopped, Barrette missed out on the medal final and was left to contest the 7-12 final, which he won in a mature, come-from-behind ride.
“It’s my best-ever result at the championships, so I’m happy with that,” a scraped and bruised Barrette said after the race.
Also competing Thursday were Rémi Pelletier-Roy of Québec, QC in the men’s individual pursuit and Candice Vermeulen, Alison Beveridge and Kirsti Lay in the women’s team pursuit. But with several team members suffering from illness, neither made it to the medal rounds. Pelletier-Roy was 11th and the women’s team was sixth.
Competition continues through Sunday at the CNAR Velodrome.
