Coming from road cycling, this is a rather rare site (except just before a rider gets disqualified). The Keirin starts with a specific order of riders following the Demy around for the first three laps as it slowly increases it speed. After the second laps riders are free to change their order behind the Demy. After the third lap the motorbike pulls off and the race is on! As they speed up it is Matilda Gros (France) followed in turn by Katie Marchant (Great Britain) and Emma Hinze (Germany). Alas, the Frenchwoman did not make it through to the finals, yet both the German and the Brit are through to vie for another medal to add to the ones they have already have in the team track cycling events.
