The men's individual pursuit was won by Denmark's Lasse Hansen in four minutes 20.875 seconds, with Ireland's Martyn Irvine second in 4min 22.745sec, a significant personal best. Irvine, who competed for Northern Ireland at the Delhi Commonwealth Games and hopes to do so again in Glasgow, said: "In the Olympic Games I was 10 seconds slower but I'm just really motivated, living like a monk, and doing everything right has paid off. "I'd love to go sub-20 (4:20) in the worlds (in February) and I'm here to see the set-up. Now I've done three good rides here I'm really motivated to come back and get another medal in Glasgow." World and Olympic champion Laura Trott ended the evening on a high by winning the elimination race in the women's omnium and that triumph saw here climb to fourth place overall, just one point behind the leading trio with three events remaining.
