Chasing the Italian PO24-81
In the second event in the Men's Omnium is the Tempo Race. The riders amass points by either winning lap sprints (1 point) or by lapping the peloton (20 points). Whomever amasses the most points by the end of the 40 laps of the velodrome wins the race, however the points they win do not carry over into the Omnium points total. With just a lap or two to go, Elia Viviani (Italy) decided he should earn at least one point, meaning he should hold eighth by the end of the second event. Chasing the Italian is another road cyclist, Ethan Hayter (Great Britain). He finished one place behind Viviani.
