The evening at Heusden Zolder lights up with another golden page for the Italian National team: the junior men's quartet conquers the world title in team pursuit, while the women's group brings home a bronze medal of great technical value. The quartet composed of Nicola Padovan, Ruben Ferrari, Alberto Veglia and Paolo Marangon signs off a perfect final against Switzerland's Andreoli, Salm, Schnyder and Salamin. The Italians cover the 4000 metres in 3:54.027, building their success with a clean progression and a rhythm always under control. The Swiss stop at 3:56.110, while Great Britain completes the podium with bronze.

In the women's event comes another medal: Elisa Bianchi, Maria Acuti, Azzurra Ballan and Linda Rapporti close out the bronze medal race in 4:25.299, a time that earns them bronze against Canada. The title goes to Great Britain — Lloyd, Taylor, McHugh, Phillips — who dominate the final with an excellent 4:21.225, surpassing Belgium, silver in 4:28.132.
