The 20-year-old showed his skill in bunch races throughout the day, with his first triumph coming in a sprint finish in the men’s scratch competition.

At the conclusion of the 15 kilometre event, which saw the cyclists complete 60 laps of the track, the Frenchman proved able to hold off the challenge of Spain’s Xavier Canellas Sanchez and Colombia’s Jordan Arley Parra Arias, with the pair completing the podium positions.

Thomas returned to the track to earn a dominant victory in the men’s points race having achieved a total of 33, with his nearest rival Julio Alberto Amores Palacios of Colombia finishing some way adrift on 23.

New Zealand’s Luke Mudgway was a further two points back to claim bronze.

The women’s points race proved to be a closer affair with Belgium’s Jolien D'Hoore earning gold on a total of 17, ahead of Canada’s Jasmin Glaesser and Britain’s Emily Nelson, who finished on 13 and 11 respectively.

A well-timed attack from Marina Shmayankova saw the Belorussian cyclist claim gold in the women’s scratch race as she was able to lap the remainder of the field to secure a comfortable victory.

Britain’s Laura Trott won the sprint for the silver medal, with Hong Kong’s Qianyu Yang giving the home crowd something to cheer as she secured bronze.

Trott, a double Olympic champion, had enjoyed success earlier in the day as alongside her team-mates Elinor Barker, Joanna Roswell-Shand and Ciara Horne, the British women’s team pursuit squad qualified fastest for tomorrow’s opening round of competition.

Their time of 4min 19.369sec was far quicker than their nearest challengers, with the United States achieving 4:23.696.

Meanwhile in the men’s event, Australia produced the fastest time with 4:00.947 as they finished nearly two seconds quicker than Denmark.

Having struggled in the opening two World Cups of the series, Britain’s sprint teams made an ideal start to the final event before March’s UCI World Track Cycling Championships, which will be held in London, as both their line-ups qualified for tomorrow’s finals.

Matthew Crampton joined the reigning Olympic champions Phillip Hindes and Jason Kenny and the trio clocked 43.798 seconds to reach the goal medal ride, where they will face a Polish team who were timed at 43.886.

Russia and Australia will battle for bronze having clocked 43.963 and 44.038 respectively.

Katy Marchant and Jessica Varnish, competing just days after their fellow British sprinter Victoria Williamson suffered a serious crash in the Rotterdam Six-Day event, qualified second fastest for the final after finishing in 33.496.

They will meet World Championship silver medallists Anastasiia Voinova and Daria Shmeleva, after the Russians finished the qualification in 32.839.

Spain and Canada will contest the bronze medal ride.
