- Developing Welsh sprinter Rhys Thomas has won the inaugural 'White Hope' sprint in the Herne Hill Good Friday track meeting. The sprint, formerly won by such notables as Jamie Staffs and Matthew Crampton, saw Thomas progress through the qualifying 'knockout' format after an initial 200m time trial, where he finished second fastest with a time of 12.3 seconds. Thomas went into the final of three riders where he took advantage of his opposition marking each other to sprint beneath on the final banking and claim victory by the narrowest of margins. Congratulations Rhys!
