JASON Kenny declared himself right where he wants to be after taking gold in the team sprint at the National Track Championships on Sunday.

Six-time Olympic champion Kenny, who returned to racing at the start of the year following an extended break since Rio 2016, teamed up with Jack Carlin, Phil Hindes and Ryan Owens to deliver gold with a time of 43.593 seconds at the velodrome in Manchester.

Kenny said it was a "stretch" to think he might race at the world championships at the end of February, but he is nevertheless pleased with his progress.

"It's still early doors," Kenny said. "These are all just stepping stones. The idea is to be fully up to speed next year, but it's good to have run out with the lads before the worlds. I'm quite lucky really and happy to jump in and get in with a fast team sprint.

"The worlds selection is coming up, which I would like to do the team sprint in but obviously these lads have ridden all the World Cups and things so that's a little bit of a stretch, but other than that it's just a case of doing some hard work.

"My goal is next year to be at the sharp end. Anything short-term is a bonus."

The Team 100% Me squad of Rhys Britton, Ethan Hayter, Jake Stewart, Matt Walls and Fred Wright took gold in the men's team pursuit after defending champions Team KGF suffered a mechanical in the final.

Charlie Tanfield's wheel magnet came off and stuck in his chain stay just as Jonathan Wale was peeling off, and the resulting confusion allowed Team 100% Me to pull ahead.

It was a disappointing end to an outstanding few months for the innovative Team KGF, who won gold at the World Cup in Minsk earlier this month and have Great Ayton's Tanfield and Dan Bigham looking to break into the Great Britain squad.

"We have aggressive, high-risk tactics," said Jacob Tipper. "That's what works, we've just won a World Cup using these tactics, but they come with a risk. We live and die by the sword and today we died by it. We're lucky it didn't happen in qualifying or in Minsk, but it's part of the game."

Katie Archibald secured her third title of the weekend as she took the points race by gaining a lap on the field, finishing on 44 points to Emily Kay's 32.

Archibald won the individual pursuit on Friday and the scratch race on Saturday, also picking up bronze in Friday's individual sprint.

"It's been fantastic," Archibald said. "I can hardly think straight now. It was do or die...but as soon as I latched on, my face just calmed down and I thought, 'I can go again', which is just ridiculous.

"But I need to go to bed now."

Katy Marchant won the women's 500m time trial in a time of 34.584 seconds, adding to the individual sprint title she took on Friday night.

Lauren Bate and Georgia Hilleard claimed gold in the women's team sprint, while Oliver Wood took the men's scratch race as the weekend came to a close.
