GLASGOW :Jennifer Valente continued the American women's team's flying start to the UCI World Championships with a perfectly-timed charge for gold in the scratch race on Friday.
Hinze won the women's team sprint the day before in a world record time - Germany's fourth world title in succession at that discipline - and now has eight world titles. "There were a couple of riders off the front with a decent gap until a couple of laps to go," Valente, who will join Dygert in the women's team pursuit medal round on Saturday against New Zealand, told reporters.
Olympic champion threesome Roy van den Berg, Harrie Lavreysen and Jeffrey Hoogland trailed slightly over the first two laps but Hoogland's last lap burst brought home the gold. He said racing on the same programme at the same time as the Olympic athletes was a massive step forward.
