Great Britain have won three gold and three silver medals after a great start to Friday’s evening session at the Cycling World Championships in Glasgow.
Briton Jody Cundy won his 20th cycling world title in the men’s C4 1km time trial.
In the men’s B 1km time trial, GB’s Neil Fachie and Matthew Rotherham finished 0.042 seconds ahead of team-mates James Ball and Steffan Lloyd.
GB’s Jaco van Gass won gold in the men’s C3 1km time trial.
The defending champion finished 0.236 seconds ahead of fellow Briton Fin Graham.
Earlier GB’s Frances Brown won silver in the women’s C1 500m time trial.
Epic start for hosts in evening session
There was seemingly a medal won in every event in the first half of Friday’s evening session as Great Britain dominated the para-cycling schedule.
Cundy, 44, finished over a second ahead of Australia’s Michael Shippley with compatriot Archie Atkinson in sixth.
The seven-time Paralympic champion in cycling and swimming now has 23 world titles across both sports.
In the men’s B time trial Fachie and pilot Rotherham took gold after a tense final 750 metres, delivering Fachie his 17th world title.
Olympic and defending champion Fachie, along with partner Rotherham, were the event’s overwhelming favourites.
The pair, who won the Commonwealth title for Scotland together in 2022, were off the pace with a lap to go but managed to edge ahead of compatriots Ball and Lloyd who took silver.
World record holder Van Gass and Graham delivered another British one-two in the men’s C3 1km time trial, with second-placed Graham 0.644 seconds ahead of New Zealand’s Devon Briggs.
In the women’s C1 500m time trial Brown finished 2,332 seconds off China’s Qian Wangwei who took gold.
GB’s Katie Toft was fourth, 0.914 seconds off China’s Yang Jiafan who took bronze.
GB’s Atherton through in downhill
Meanwhile, in the women’s mountain bike downhill, GB’s five-time world champion Rachel Atherton safely qualified a day after dislocating her shoulder.
Atherton injured her shoulder after a fall during a practice run on Thursday and posted the 31st fastest time on Friday.
With fewer than 40 entrants any rider who set a time in qualifying advanced to Saturday’s final.
GB’s Tahnee Seagrave posted the second-fastest time with Britons Harriet Harnden, Stacey Fisher, Anna-Louise Ferguson and Mikayla Parton also posting top 20 times.
In the men’s mountain bike downhill qualifying GB’s Bernard Kerr posted the third-fastest time with compatriots Charlie Hatton and Danny Hart also posting top 10 runs.
Earlier on Friday, Great Britain, led by local favourite Katie Archibald, were fastest in qualifying for the women’s team pursuit.
