Women's Indvidual Pursuit


Competing in her second World Cup meeting of the season, Leontien Zulaard-Van Moorsel (NED) narrowly beat Marion Clignet (FRA) to claim the 3km Women's Individual Pursuit with a time of 3'40"09, compared to Clignet's 3'40"93. Elena Tchalych (RUS) took third place with a time of 3'42"23 in her ride against the World Cup leader, Rasa Mazeikyte (LTU), who recorded 3'46"75.

 In the World Cup overall, Mazeikyte extends her lead, moving up fro 27 to 34 points. Zulaard-Van Moorsel jumps up from 7th to 2nd, now on 20 points, while Erin Veenstra (USA) remains in third place on 16 points.

 Women's Match Sprint


The indomitable world champion, Felicia Balanger (FRA), won in two straight matches against Yan Wang (CHN). The Frenchwoman recorded final 200m times of 12"01 and 12"44 in the two matches.

 Chuihua Jiang (CHN) also needed only two matches to defeat Magali Faure (FRA). Jiang's final 200m times were 12"21 and 12"30.

 This is Ballanger's third consecutive Match Sprint win in the three World Cup events she has attended this season. Thanks to this win her overall score increases from 24 to 36 points. With her rivals Jennie Reed (USA) and Tanya Dubnicoff (CAN) absent, the two riders on 23 and 22 points, respectively, Balanger's lead in the series increases even more dramatically. These two North American riders retain their second and third positions in the World Cup table, while Silvia Szabolcsi (HUN) who was eighth at Fiorenzuola, remains in 4th overall on 19 points, but Yan Wang and Oxana Grichina (5th) move up to 5th and 6th places with 18 points each.

 Women's Points Race (20km)


Finishing with an accumulated total more than twice that of second place, Elena Tchalych (RUS) easily won the Women's Points Race. Antonella Bellutti (ITA) was second with 16 points, Magali Faure (FRA) third with 15. This was the first time this year Tchalych has scored points in a World Cup Points race.

 With the absence of World Cup leader Olga Slioussareva (RUS) and Mandy Poitras (CAN), third overall, Bellutti took over the lead position with 28 points to the Russian's 20.

 Men's Competition


Team Pursuit

 Three riders from the Ukrainian team that won the World Championships last year (Alexander Simoneko, Alexader Fedenko, Serguiy Matveyev) were in the four-man outfit that won the pursuit with a time of 4'09"05, ahead of second-placed Italy, with finished the 4km in 4'14"14.

 Russia recorded 4'13"75 to claim third place in an easy win over The Netherlands, which finished with a time of 4'22"41. The 12 points scored for the win lifted Ukraine from ninth to second place overall in the World Cup, on 22 points. France finished 7th, and gained 4 points, taking their overall score to 32, which keeps them comfortably in the lead of the series. Spain, which finished 5th, moved up from 4th to 3rd overall on 20 points.

 Men's Individual Pursuit


Jens Lehman (GER) had an easy win over Alexei Markov (RUS), the two riders recorded times of 4'25"82 and 4'30"36 respectively. 

The match for third place, between Adrea Colinelli (ITA) and Alexander Simonenko (UKR) was very close. Colinelli finished in 4'31"52, fractionally faster than Simonenko's 4'31"92. In an unusual turn of events, this was the first time any of these four riders have scored Individual Pursuit points in the 99 World Cup series.

 There is no change in the World Cup overall standings, with Mauro Trentini (ITA) still on top with 18 points. Franco Marvilli (SUI) stays in second place, but 8th place here increased his World Cup score from 14 to 17.

 Match Sprint


Roberto Chiappa (ITA) found his best form of the season and scored a convincing win over Laurent Gane (FRA). Chiappa recorded 11"11 and 11"05 in the two matches against the Frenchman. In the semi-final against Van Eijden, Gane had shown good speed to record a 10"83 in winning the first of their three matches.

 Ainars Kiksis (LAT) overwhelmed the World Cup leader, Jan Van Eijden (GER) to win in straight matches, recording 11"61 and 11"74.

 Van Eijden remains on top of the World Cup ladder with 27 points, but Chiappa, now on 26 is close behind in second place. Gane moves up from 5th= to 4th overall on 22 points.

 Madison


The Australian duo of Aitken and McGrory narrowly out-scored the Italians Martinello and Villa, 21 to 18, and so claimed their first win of the World Cup.

 The World Cup leaders, Argentina, were not present and the second-placed Spanish team was off form. But these two teams remain at the top of the World Cup ladder, with 28 and 25 points, respectively. Australia now moves up to third overall in the Madison World Cup with 19 points.

 Men's Points Race 30km


In collecting his first win for the World Cup series, Silvio Martinello (ITA) also collected his first World Cup points. Finishing with 22 points, just ahead of Ho-Sung Cho (KOR) on 21, Martinello won a close-fought race in which third-placed Jacob Piil (DEN) scored 19.

 Vasyl Yakovlev (UKR) finished eighth, which was good enough to give him the overall World Cup lead, on 15 points. He displaces Franco Marvulli (SUI) and Kouji Yoshi (JPN), who were in equal first place.

 Olympic Sprint


A win for the British team of Craig McLean, Chris Hoy and Jason Queally in the final over Spain's trio of Jose Manuel Morino, Diego Ortega and Jose Antonio Escuredo was enough to push Great Britain up to the top of the World Cup ladder. Greece beat Italy to finish third
