  • 02/12/2019

New Zealand have finished with the most medals at the latest World Cup track cycling event in Hong Kong.

The Kiwi team finished the three-day event with three golds, three silvers and one bronze for a final tally of seven medals.

On the final day of racing, New Zealand added a silver and bronze to their haul to complete a successful campaign. 

Tom Sexton and omnium champion Campbell Stewart finished second in the men's madison on 38 points, behind world champions Germany. 

Corbin Strong capped the event with third in the men's scratch race, with Dutchman Roy Eefting winning the 15km event.

New Zealand could have added one more medal to their tally, but Michaela Drummond narrowly missed out on a bronze in the women's omnium on countback, decided on the final sprint in the 20km race.

The cyclists now head to Cambridge for the next World Cup meet from December 6-8.
