Team USA has had a solid campaign thus far at the track world championships in Santiago, Chile, with three medals notched up heading into Sunday’s final day.
Peter Moore has gone closest to gold, finishing a fine second in the men’s point race this week. the Saint Paul, minn. rider stepped up from his fourth place in 2024, tussling for the gold medal in the points race.
He clocked up points early on when he was second in the fifth and sixth sprints and then lapped the field as part of a four-man lead group. Moore went on another flier, joining up with riders from Germany and Australia to again lap the field and move into the race lead.
However the British Ineos Grenadiers pro Josh Tarling gained a lap early on and then took points in ten out of the 16 sprints. That consistency carried him past Moore, with Tarling ultimately clocking up 56 points, eight ahead of his American rival.
Moore was delighted with the result despite the near-miss.
“I’ve been thinking about this race since I finished fourth last year, and I just executed perfectly today,” he said. “I took two laps, exactly when I needed to. I knew who to follow, played my cards right.
“I just had no question the whole day. I’m really proud of myself and the preparation that went into this.”
