Tasmanian team pursuit world champions Amy Cure and Georgia Baker almost added a second gold in the women's madison final.

“It was a pretty full on race - right from the get-go, it was on," Perth's Baker said. 

"There were many crashes out there, but Amy stayed safe, riding the front of the race as much as we could."

The pair took maximum points in the opening sprint of the 120-lap, 12 sprint race before Dutch powerhouses Amy Pieters and Kirsten Wild put claim to multiple sprint wins and a 13-point lead at the halfway mark during the world championships in Poland.
