Australia's track cycling team have ended a fairly barren world championships in Shanghai with the silver lining of another impressive sprint breakthrough for their marquee rider, Leigh Hoffman.
The 26-year-old Commonwealth champion, who'd begun the Chinese event by helping the men's sprint trio to team silver, ended it on Sunday with another second-place finish in the individual sprint, beaten only by the great, and seemingly inevitable, 'flying Dutchman' Harrie Lavreysen.
