Barker, like Olympic road race silver medallist Lizzie Armitstead before her, could have a decision to make on whether to pursue road or track in future. "At the moment I'm still really young," she said. "I'm lucky enough to do track and road, but when I get older I'm going to have to specialise. "At the moment track's winning because it's in the foreseeable future, it's the winter discipline, but then when I get back on the road (in the spring) I'll probably love road more."
