GK's report on the final day of the first Keirin World Series event, which saw overall wins for Lavreysen and Andrews, but disappointment for Gros and Truman. Includes videos and winners' post-race comments. https://t.co/AWftKF6119 #keirinworldseries
Disqualification for Gros in the women's final: deemed to have cut up the rider on the inside, as she claimed the lead. Didn't seem too bad from the main camera view, but seen from the other side - yeah, fair enough. #keirinworldseries
Women's final on day three of the first #KeirinWorldSeries event at Hofu:
1️⃣ Ellesse Andrews 🇳🇿
2️⃣ Mathilde Gros 🇫🇷
Lavreysen goes in the men's final in 20 minutes.

Tougher races in wet conditions for Gros & Andrews on day two of Keirin World Series: but the same result. The international stars remain unbeaten. Truman racing in a few minutes, Lavreysen in half an hour.
Lavreysen makes it 4 wins out of 4 for the foreign stars competing in Japan today. He had company all the way to the line, but the win was never in doubt.
3 easy wins out of 3 for the foreign stars in today's first Keirin World Series races, each by several lengths. Lavreysen goes in just under an hour. https://t.co/tD8rW7tgYp

Matthew Richardson has been confirmed for the England squad at Commonwealth Games: but he is also due to compete in Japan just 2 days before the keirin competition at Glasgow, with the sprint event the following morning. https://t.co/hR47ap2TLL
Is Richo skipping Commies?
Matthew Richardson is listed as competing in Japan's Keirin World Series on July 27-29. Commonwealth Games keirin is on July 31, half a world away. Sprint starts the next day.
He could make it from Tokyo to Glasgow in time, but in what state?
