TOTTON’s Jon Dibben won a second medal at the European Track Cycling Championships.
Dibben took bronze in the omnium after bouncing back from a difficult start to the event that saw him ninth heading into the final event.
But he produced a brilliant performance to finish in third place.
The bronze is the 21 year-old's second medal of the week after he helped the team to pursuit gold on Thursday.
“It went well for me. Once I got my first lap, I kind of picked it up and morale picked up, so in a way, it hurts a little bit less but still it’s tough,” he told British Cycling.
“I certainly came here looking for a medal, and maybe a win, and then as the omnium progressed, going into that points race, pretty much a medal was almost a long shot really, I’d have to race well and get a little bit lucky, which I did, so very happy in the end.”
Good way to end a good trip, chilling in the business class lounge with @tennanto. Free food all round 👍 pic.twitter.com/wMwfcLr5TQ
