Track Cycling World Championships: An appealing start for the BDR foursome

Apeldoorn (SID) The Track Cycling World Championships in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, got off to a very good start for the Association of German Cyclists (BDR). The men's foursome, which is on the rise, narrowly missed the German record in qualifying for the 4000 m team pursuit and was the fourth-best team to make it to the semi-finals on Wednesday evening against the apparently overpowering British. The women's foursome also impressed with sixth place and still has a chance for bronze. The men's quartet consisting of Maximilian Beyer (Berlin), Felix Groß (Leipzig), Theo Reinhardt (Berlin) and Kersten Thiele (Erfurt) was only about half a second slower than the German team set up at the Olympics in Rio in 3:57,447 minutes Best mark (3:56,903). In the absence of defending champion Australia, national coach Sven Meyer's team has a chance of winning its first World Cup medal since 2002. In Apeldoorn, Meyer will have to do without his driving force Domenic Weinstein (Villingen), who was unable to compete due to illness. The women's quartet with Lisa Brennauer (Durach), Charlotte Becker (Berlin), Franziska Brauße (Eningen) and Gudrun Stock (Munich) set a respectable time of 4:26,746 minutes and will face France in the first round on Thursday. “We have achieved our first goal. Now we will tackle the German record,” said Becker. A good second was missing from the record in qualifying.
