Just one day after the German sprint trio improved the world record at the second track cycling World Cup in Aguascalientes, Mexico, Maximilian Levy secured the new German record in the 200 meters with a time of 9,563 seconds. "Almost exactly seven years after I was the first German to break the magical 10-second barrier and hold the German record for a few minutes, I have it back," he rejoiced.
Kristina Vogel was in a good mood again. After gold in the team sprint, the woman from Erfurt also secured victory in the keirin and thus continues to lead the overall World Cup rankings. Miriam Welte, who, like Levy, was able to celebrate a German record, also performed well. She finished second in the 33,062m time trial with a time of 500 seconds. Only Australian Anna Meares was faster here as the first woman in the world to clock less than 33 seconds.
Andreas Müller, from Berlin and competing for Austria, also had reason to celebrate defending his World Cup leader's jersey. His tenth-place finish in the scratch race was enough to secure the title for the third and final World Cup event. With an average speed of 54,2 kilometers per hour, the race was "one of the fastest of [his] life."
