Dutch rider Harrie Lavreysen took gold in the marquee men's sprint event at the track cycling world championships in a packed Roubaix indoor velodrome on Sunday, beating his compatriot Jeffrey Hoogland in the final.

Lavreysen, 24, won the same event in both Poland 2019 and Berlin 2020 making him a triple world title winner in this key event of the championships.

He also beat Hoogland at Tokyo for the Olympic medal and at the recent European championships.

On the final day of competition, Lotte Kopecky of Belgium won the women's points race.

It was quite a feat as she pushed British ace Katie Archibald into second and nine-time world champion Kirsten Wild of the Netherlands on Sunday.

It was also Wild's last race as she retires from the track aged 39 having also won the Madison here.

International Cycling Union boss David Lappartient was present to give her a send-off speech.

In the final race of the championship, Italian veteran, Elia Viviani, who came to Roubaix with world silver and bronze medals as well as an Olympic gold medal, finally added a rainbow jersey to his collection.

Viviani out sprinted Portuguese rider Iuri Leitao when they were the last two riders standing.

Danish duo Lasse Norman Hansen and Michael Morkov won the men's Madison to add to their Tokyo title in an epic 50km 200-lap race with 20 sprints.

Lea Sophie Friedrich won the other final on the closing day, taking the women's Keirin.
