Mark Stewart and Neah Evans took electric wins in front of a sold-out crowd at the Grand Finale of the Track Champions League [TCL] in London, both slipping away into moves and winning their respective scratch races to ignite the 5,500-strong crowd in the Lee Valley VeloPark.

The Olympic velodrome from London 2012 was the venue for the final two rounds of the TCL, eleven years after it saw the same electric atmosphere welcome British legends to victory – Chris Hoy, Laura Trott and Victoria Pendleton, to name a few. The faces may have been different, but the electric atmosphere was all the same.
