Women’s keirin draw: Easy like a Sunday morning? Not for sprint champ Finucane

Great Britain’s Emma Finucane was unbeatable in the match sprint earlier this week; but she faces a tricky first round heat as she attempts to add another rainbow jersey to her collection, in Sunday’s keirin.

The riders finishing first and second in each heat will proceed to the quarter finals: everyone else gets another change in the repechages.

Finucane’s four opponents all made it to the 1/8 finals of the match sprint, and are all closely matched: the battle for the qualifying spots in that heat will be fierce.

Racing begins at 11:08 Danish time (UTC+2).
