Neah Evans, Emily Kay and Ollie Wood all made the podium as Britain enjoyed another day of silver surfing on the second day of the Tissot UCI Track World Cup action in France.
Evans and Kay put in a hugely impressive shift to get second in the Madison, while Wood displayed supreme consistency and endurance to force his way onto the omnium podium.
It was nearly a terrific third medal of the night with Jack Carlin pipped to the rostrum in the keirin.
Beaten at the death
Kay and Evans set the marker down in the Madison by taking victories in both the opening two intermediary sprints.
They were leading at the halfway stage and only a Denmark victory on the final lap would have been enough for Amalie Dideriksen and Julie Leth to triumph.
But in a straight sprint on the final lap, the Danes edged it by a whisker to take them level on 23 points with Evans and Kay, but confirming the success due to their victory on the final sprint.
Wood kicks on for superb silver
Britain’s medal momentum was continued in the omnium by Wood, who was solidly placed in sixth after the opening scratch and tempo races, but he kicked through the gears in impressive fashion to also ensure he ended the day on the podium.
Wood catapulted himself right into the mixer with a scintillating victory in the elimination race earlier in the evening.
The 22-year-old never looked in danger as he raced a tactical masterclass as his main rivals toppled one by one.
This display put him in with a real shout of a medal in the final points race and he continued his rise to bag Britain’s fourth silver of the World Cup.
Only the fearsome Spaniard Albert Torres, who finished well clear on 174 points, was higher in the rankings than Wood, whose haul of 142, three ahead of home favourite Benjamin Thomas on 139 capped off a fine evening’s work.
Carlin pipped to glory
Jack Carlin came within millimetres of a podium place in a vastly experienced and talented kierin field.
He had won his second round heat and was well placed to chase down Theo Bos of the Netherlands on the final back straight, which he did, but sadly for the young speedster, three other riders timed their rides to perfection as the group arced round the final bend.
Japan’s Yuta Wakimoto took a searing gold, with New Zealand’s Eddie Dawkins second and Krzystof Maksel of Poland third.
Sprinters miss out
Earlier in the day, Katy Marchant and Lauren Bate faced off in the 1/16 with the more experienced Marchant prevailing by 0.205s over the teenager.
The Rio bronze medallist then powered past Lithuania’s Migle Marozaite in the 1/8 round, but was defeated in the quarter-finals by eventual champion Wai Sze Lee of Hong Kong.
