Canada finished the 2013 UCI Pan-American Track Cycling Championships in Mexico on a high note Sunday as Joe Veloce captured silver in the Men's Sprint, posting his personal best result at international competition.
Veloce, 24, of Fonthill, Ontario, won his semifinal heats in two straight against Santiago Ramirez Morales of Colombia, and faced Hersony Canelón of Venezuela in the gold medal final on the CNAR velodrome in Mexico City. Though Canelón had more speed, winning the first heat by a bike length, Veloce showed his tactical strength in the second heat, which he only lost by a few centimetres.
"I'm really excited because this is my first international podium (in an individual event)," said Veloce, who was also part of the Team Sprint squad that won silver on the opening day of competition. "This is a great start to my preparation for the next Olympics, and I'd like to thank all the staff for their support here."
Also racing on Sunday were Alison Beveridge, Kirsti Lay and Candice Vermeulen. All three women were struggling with illness and weren’t performing at their best. Beveridge finished the Omnium in eighth place overall, while Vermeulen was ninth in the Points Race and Lay didn’t finish.
