Matthew Bostock helped Great Britain claim a gold medal at the UEC Junior and Under-23 Track European Championships in Portugal on Thursday.

Bocky formed part of the GB quartet alongside Matt Walls, Ethan Hayter and Joe Holt which sped to victory in the under-23 men’s team pursuit, catching their Belgian opponents in the gold medal final as they fell apart in the latter stages of the race.

The GB foursome looked like a well-oiled machine throughout the event as they progressed through the rounds to the final and their gold medal-winning effort was characteristically slick.
