It was a solid day 1 of European Champs for the Brits with a silver in the women's team sprint whilst the men took bronze.  Unfortunately, we missed out on the podium in the men's elimination and women's scratch races with William Perrett taking 8th place whilst Anna Morris finished in 5th

 

In qualifying for the team pursuit, the British women finished 3rd in qualifying but were almost 4 seconds behind leaders Germany. The men's squad qualified in 2nd and were just over half a second behind Denmark.
