Day 1 at Junior Worlds started with men’s individual pursuit qualifying in the morning, and finals for the women’s points race, the men’s kilo and the men’s scratch race in the evening.
For detailed results I recommend veloresults, which currently is a copy of the information which was available on the intranet at the event. It’s a less convenient format than some of the sites out there, but the information is very complete. I also recommend copying anything important to you soon - veloresults does not seem to make archived results available.

In the morning sessions, family and friends were the rule in the stands. Probably a third of the US riders have family in this picture.

One note on the formatting of this article - I’m experimenting with letting the pictures “float” on the page with their captions. I know that this may look odd in some cases, but one of my private reasons for maintaining this site is to learn these things. Please bear with me. If you know css and html feel free to post suggested improvements in a comment.
