Dunedin cyclist Alison Shanks has won silver in the individual pursuit at the London World Cup track cycling meeting.
Great Britain's Joanna Rowsell took the gold in the final after making a strong start against Shanks and holding her form as the Kiwi cut the deficit midway through the race. The Briton eased away again in the closing stages to win in 3:32.364. Shanks finished just over a second later.
"I thought I would try to go out fast in order to get my nose out in front,'' said Rowsell. "I knew I could bring it back home in last kilo. I wound it up with four laps to go.''
Australian Amy Cure won bronze in the ride-off against Lithuanian Vilija Sereikaite.
