Simon Yates wins Track Cycling World Championships gold medal

Great Britain's Simon Yates has won gold in the men's points race at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Minsk, Belarus.

A late surge on the final lap saw the 20-year-old overcome the challenge of Spain's Eloy Teruel.

"When you've got a world jersey on the line you get that energy from somewhere," Yates told BBC Sport. "It's been a dream of mine."

Yates's gold medal is Britain's second at the tournament, adding to a silver and two bronze.
