Records tumbled on and off the track this weekend as capacity crowds in the National Cycling Centre witnessed Anna Morris and tandem duo Sophie Unwin & Jenny Holl set new pursuit world records at the Lloyds National Track Championships 🚀 ⚡️ 25 national champion jerseys were awarded across the weekend - including three each for sprinters Lauren Bell and Matthew Richardson - as audiences enjoyed the racing from both their seats in Manchester and their sofas at home, with more that 200,000 people witnessing Anna Morris’ record-breaking ride on social media. Morris said: “The motivation was really high, especially on my home track in front of a home crowd. I am feeling it a bit after racing at Euros, so I wasn’t sure how much I had left in me, but the crowd definitely carried me in those last four laps.” Read more about a historical Championships here 👉 https://bit.ly/3XlUeMy
