Track cycling: Valente wins omnium elimination race to extend lead

The favourites have all stayed out of trouble in this women's omnium elimination race so far.

There was an earlier error from the race commisaires eliminating Poland's Daria Pikulik, but it was corrected and the race yellow flagged to let her chase back to the pack. She is finally eliminated in 10th place.

Fourth overall after the tempo race, Denmark'sAmalie Dideriksen is eliminated in eighth – that will drop her down the rankings quite a bit.
