Crash in Round 5

At the final round in London, during the second heat of the women's keirin, two of the riders – Katy Marchant and Alessa-Catriona Pröpster – collided at high speed and crashed over the barriers, into the crowd.^[1]^[2] The organisers of the event, including WBD Sports, British Cycling, the UCI, and the venue (Lee Valley VeloPark) took the decision to cancel the remainder of the evening's races.^[3] Both riders and four spectators were treated by medics at the venue. Marchant was taken to hospital, and it was later confirmed that she had fractured her forearm and dislocated two fingers.^[1]^[2]

The races cancelled were the men's keirin, women's keirin, and men's elimination race; no points were awarded for any of these events.

Points standings

Scoring system

Points were awarded to the top fifteen riders, with twenty points being awarded to each race winner. In the case of a tie on points, a countback system was used where the highest most recent race result determined the final positions.^[4] The leader of each classification is denoted by a light blue jersey.
