December 18, 2010 (Cali, Colombia) – Tara Whitten of Edmonton scored silver on Saturday in the women’s Omnium won by the USA’s Sarah Hammer (OUCH Pro Cycling) with Tatsiana Sharakova (Belarus) in third. Whitten was second in the 3,000m Individual Pursuit, 9th in the 10km Scratch race and was 6th in the final event the TT.

Whitten, the 2010 Omnium World Champ, is now the overall Omnium World Cup leader. She finished second as well in the Omnium at the opening round of the UCI Track World Cup held earlier in Melbourne, Australia.

The Canadian men’s pursuit team of Remi Pelletier-Roy, Cameron Mackinnon, Stephen Meyer, and Jacob Schwingboth broke the Canadian record Saturday in Cali, but had to settle for 14th place.

New Zealand was the fastest team in qualifying, stopping the clock at 4 minutes 3.60 seconds. In the final, the Kiwis relented gold to the Colombian team. The bronze went to Spain, who got the better of Denmark.

Team Canada hammered out the 4km in 4 min 16.88 seconds, placing 14th. Only the first four teams are qualified for the semi-finals.

Since it is the time of the third rider to cross the finish line that stops the clock, it is common to see the fourth rider get gapped from the group. “In the 1.5km, the three of us could not maintain the pace ahead for more than a half- turn,” said Remi Pelletier-Roy. We were somewhat overtaxed by the end of the race.”

Pelletier-Roy, and Mackinnon Schwingboth gained a new team mate two weeks ago – Ontario’s Stephen Meyer joined them when their former teammate decided to go home.

“I was a little surprised at the performance of Stephen,” said Pelletier-Roy, adding that typically Meyer is only able to hang on for a short time, but this time he stuck with his team mates for the first 2.5km.”
