Hoy faces fitness race for Worlds

Hoy was left shaken after the crash in Copenhagen

Sir Chris Hoy is facing a battle to be at full fitness for next month's World Championships in Poland after his crash at the World Cup meeting in Denmark.

The Scot crashed during Saturday's keirin final and suffered scabs, bruises and swollen joints.

There are less than six weeks to go before he is due to defend his two world titles in Poznan.

Victoria Pendleton finished sixth in the women's keirin final but Britain won the women's team pursuit on Sunday.

Lizzie Armitstead, Katie Colclough and Joanna Rowsell, representing 'Team 100% ME', part of Britain's under-23 Olympic Academy who take their name from UK Sport's anti-doping education programme, beat the Netherlands in the final.

Your thoughts on Sir Chris Hoy's crash in the keirin

The 32-year-old Hoy, who had won gold in the team sprint on Friday night, was taken to hospital following Saturday's incident which smashed his custom-made carbon fibre bike into pieces.

X-rays found no broken bones and he was given crutches for support although he was able to discard them on his return to Britain on Sunday.

A spokesperson for British Cycling said: "He's still feeling pretty sore but not too stiff, which is a good sign."

Hoy was to appear in the Revolution event at the Manchester Velodrome next Saturday against long-time rival Arnaud Tournant in the Frenchman's farewell race, but he is now understood to be extremely unlikely to compete.

A late convert to the keirin event, Hoy had avoided crashing and won all but one of the races he has entered since 2006 before Saturday.

He said: "These things happen and it was a racing incident.

"It is a miracle I have had around 30 races without a crash since I started riding the keirin in 2006."

On the track, Jason Kenny missed out on bronze in the men's sprint with France taking all three podium places, while Matthew Crampton was sixth and Ross Edgar was seventh.

British hopes in the madison were again hit by a crash when Peter Kennaugh tumbled out.

Kennaugh and partner Rob Hayles were forced to withdraw and were unable to challenge German duo Marcel Barth and Robert Bartko, who claimed the gold.
