Swift claims silver to cap breakthrough world championships
Yorkshire cyclist Ben Swift claimed his second medal of the World Championships with silver in the non-Olympic points race.
Swift, who won gold in the non-Olympic scratch race on day one, won the final sprint, but finished second after Australia’s Cameron Meyer gained a lap on the field late on to win from the Briton by 33 points to 32.
It capped a remarkable week for the 24-year-old Rotherham racer who is more accustomed to riding on the road than he is the track.
