Harrie Lavreysen beat Japan’s Shinji Nakano to reach the sprint quarter-finals at the track cycling world championships in Shanghai on Saturday, keeping his bid for a 23rd world title alive. Jeffrey Hoogland was knocked out in the last 16 after losing to Germany’s Henric Hackmann, according to ANP [1].
The quarter-finals were scheduled for later on Saturday, with the semi-finals and final due on Sunday. Lavreysen was seeking his eighth world sprint title in Shanghai.
The Dutch pair had already won team sprint gold at the championships for the eighth time. Lavreysen also took the keirin title, while Hoogland won the kilometre time trial for the fifth time [1].
Lavreysen’s main rival, Matthew Richardson, was absent from the British team after being removed shortly before the championships over alleged “unacceptable” behaviour, the report said [1].
