For Mongolia’s first participation at this event, they claimed a gold medal in the Scratch Race. It was also a celebration for the UCI World Cycling Centre, where Batsaikhan Tegshbayar has been training since April.
After only just qualifying for the final in the afternoon, he unleashed everything in the evening, hitting out with eight laps to go and racing to gold.
“I am so happy,” he said. “I dreamed of the rainbow jersey and now I am wearing one. This is a new story for Mongolia. I have been at the Centre (UCI WCC) since April and the training is very good. It has helped me.”
Silver and bronze went to Daniel Babor (Czech Republic) and Moreno Marchetti (Italy).
