Sunday morning was the pursuits. Adel was first up out of the two and managed a storming ride, considering how few pursuits she has done. She did a storming pb of 2.40. Caroline was up in the final round up against last years champion. Caroline went out hard and was up on Siobhan all the way, but Siobhan came back strong in the last 2 laps to win out of the pair, but it wasn't enough to topple Adel. Siobhan beat Caroline by 1s, Caroline doing a pb by 6s from lats year to get a 2.45. Adel claimed Gold and Caroline Bronze. Brilliant rides by both girls.
