Dutch master sweeps at track worlds, bronze for Hoffman

Leigh Hoffman lost to former teammate Matt Richardson, who in turn had to bow again to Dutch master Harrie Lavreysen at the world track cycling championships.

Lavreysen completed an historic sweep of the men's sprint events at the worlds on the last day in Santiago, Chile.

He beat Richardson two heats to nil in the gold medal ride-off for the match sprint, making Lavreysen the first rider to win four gold medals at a track world championships.
