Katie Archibald maintained her lead in the women’s endurance competition at the Track Champions League, though her advantage was cut by two points after Saturday’s third round.
Britain’s Archibald won the elimination race but could only finish 12th in the scratch event in Apeldoorn in the Netherlands.
It means her combined points total is now 98, but Canada’s Sarah van Dam – who was second in the elimination race and third in the scratch – is now 27 points behind on 71.
Fellow Briton Matthew Richardson moved to within five points of Dutch leader Harrie Lavreysen in the men’s sprint league, while Emma Finucane has dropped from third to fifth in the women’s sprint discipline.
Lavreysen went into the third round seven points clear and extended that to 10 with victory in the men’s sprint.
But Richardson halved that advantage after winning the men’s keirin, with Lavreysen finishing fourth before being bumped up to third after team-mate Jeffrey Hoogland was relegated for an illegal overtake.
Finucane, the women’s individual sprint world champion, was eliminated in the heats of the keirin and sprint events.
The Welsh 21-year-old is now on 66 points, 49 behind Russian leader Alina Lysenko.
The final two rounds of this year’s Champions League will be held at London’s Lee Valley VeloPark on 6 and 7 December.
