Britain's William Perrett finished fifth overall with 104 points. Wood said: «It was nice to be on the front foot for once going into the points race leading.

»I sort of new from then on that my legs were okay and I had a really tough tempo race, but it paid off in the end. «I knew that from being in that position before, if you don't keep more than five points ahead then you're going to struggle so I tried to keep the points ahead and then I was safe.» Earlier in the competition, Tokyo Olympic gold medallists Dame Laura Kenny and Katie Archibald led the Great Britain cycling team back to podium position with a silver in the women's team pursuit which was quickly succeeded by a silver by the men's team.

Wood said: «The whole of Team GB are pretty motivated after the last Olympics so the lads in the team pursuit were disappointed in where we came, so we've got unfinished business there. »There's literally around five or six nations that could win, probably." It was an Olympic final re-run for the women, with the four Brits facing the Olympic champions and world record holders
