In the 200 m flying qualifier, Conor's time of 12.73 was the second fastest. With Taght's time of 12.91 in the semi-finals, both riders missed out and had to face each other in the bronze medal ride-off. Conor emerged victorious by attacking early and holding off Taght. The last race of the day was the 16-lap scratch race, with Conor winning the National Championship with a superb performance, attacking again and again to wear down the field. Taght was outside the medals after some splendid performances.
