Anna Morris and Jess Roberts secured a one-two for Wales in the women’s 25km points race. <\/b><\/p>\n

Morris followed up her individual pursuit success with another gold, that after she had won team pursuit bronze alongside Roberts.<\/p>\n

The qualified doctor bossed the race from start to finish, picking up points in each of the first three sprints before lapping the field to claim 20 points with around 60 laps left.<\/p>\n

Roberts followed in lapping the pack and climbed the points table. <\/p>\n

In the second half of the race, the lead switched back and forth between the Welsh pair several times before Morris took command to lead her team-mate by six points.<\/p>\n

She claimed the 10 points in the final sprint to finish on 66 while Roberts clung on to second, picking up two points to hold off Australian bronze winner Georgia Baker, who was just one point back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
