Losing a victory
On the meantime, Mark Stewart grabbed silver in the men’s omnium, sadly losing the lead halfway through the race after France’s Benjamin Thomas moved first finishing with a total of 144 points while Kenny grabbed only 134.
However, his best performance still remaines the last week’s one in France where the Britain grabbed six medals in total while at the opening round of the Track World Cup series. The last week’s series also include qualification points for the much-expected Tokyo Games in 2020.
Now, the sportsmen and sportswomen will head to London for the fourth round which is set to take place in December 14 until the 16th.
