Boylan continues World Track glory

Ireland’s Lydia Boylan won a silver medal in the women’s point race at the Track Cycling World Cup in Poland yesterday. Having enjoyed success on the boards at the European Championships in 2017, Boylan used her experience to bide her time before attacking in the closing stages. She then lapped the field to earn a 20 point bonus which sealed her podium place.

“I can’t believe I won a silver medal, I am over the moon,” she said. “It hasn’t sunk in that I have finally done something on the world stage.”
