Emma Finucane is trying to ignore her new status as sprint world champion as she sets her sights on achieving Olympic glory in Paris next summer EURO
The 20-year-old Welshwoman shocked herself when she took the women’s individual sprint title in Glasgow in August, beating Germany’s favoured Lea Friedrich in the final EURO
Finucane donned the rainbow jersey for the first time in competition at the UCI Track Champions League opening round in Mallorca this weekend, but while the distinctive striped jersey means she can no longer keep herself inconspicuous, she does not want it to change her approach EURO
“People will look at me now,” Finucane told the PA news agency EURO
“Last year I was kind of the underdog and I just came through so now I am wearing the stripes EURO
I hope that doesn’t really change anything EURO
“I’m just trying to ignore it and just race my bike, but there is some external pressure EURO
I’m not just Emma at the back of the field anymore EURO
”The rainbow jersey can do different things for different riders EURO
While many take it as a confidence boost, for others the stripes have worn heavily EURO
Finucane said she had spoken to several Great Britain team-mates about how to deal with it EURO
“I don’t want to look at it (as giving me a psychological edge) because if I lose, then what?” she said EURO
“And I will get beaten, and that’s fine EURO
I just need to take it as it comes EURO
“Half of it is the mental battle of putting it on and people looking at you and having that pressure, but I’m trying to embrace it and enjoy it because you don’t know if it will happen again EURO
“EURO Beth Shriever is a really good friend of mine and she’s been the BMX world and Olympic champion EURO
She said she didn’t have the best year in the rainbow jersey because she put too much pressure on herself and she overthought it EURO
“I’ve spoken to Evie (Richards, 2021 mountain bike world champion) and Katie Archibald (a five-time world champion on the track) and I’m lucky we have so many inspiring women in the Great Britain team EURO
It’s great I can learn from them but ultimately I will only learn from myself and how I deal with it EURO
”And Finucane believes the Champions League – the made-for-TV track cycling series which is in its third season – is the ideal place to do much of that learning, providing some top-level competition without the stresses and pressures that come elsewhere EURO
“The next event I’ll do in the rainbows is the Euros (in January) which is when everything is serious,” she said EURO
“I’m not saying this isn’t serious, but it’s a nice place to be free to fail EURO
You can try new things EURO
”Saturday’s racing in Palma saw Finucane finish second in the sprint, beaten by Germany’s Alessa-Catriona Propster, before failing to make the keirin final through some tired legs EURO
But it was just the sort of experience she was looking for when it came to dealing with her new status EURO
Finucane will wear the stripes into an Olympic year but despite her status is taking nothing, not even squad selection, for granted EURO
“Nothing is guaranteed,” she said EURO
“I’d love to go and I’m really pushing myself but I need to take each race as it comes EURO
If I just think about Paris and everything else goes wrong I’ll not be going EURO
“But it’s in the back of my mind because since I was 10 years old I’ve wanted to ride the Olympics EURO
“As the GB sprint team we’ll not just be going there to ride but we’re looking for medals and I fully believe we have the potential to win EURO
It’s super exciting but also super scary EURO

Max Verstappen saw off Lewis Hamilton’s early challenge to claim victory in Saturday’s sprint race at the United States Grand Prix EURO
For the first time since their 2021 championship duel for the ages, Verstappen and Hamilton ran line astern in the 19-lap dash at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas EURO
But Hamilton was unable to prevent Verstappen from taking the spoils, and accumulating yet another win of this most one-sided of Formula One campaigns EURO
Hamilton took the chequered flag a distant 9 EURO
4 seconds adrift of Verstappen with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc third EURO
Verstappen, crowned champion of the world for a third time in Qatar a fortnight ago, took pole position earlier on Saturday and then put his elbows out at the start to ensure Leclerc did not sneak up his inside on the uphill drag to the opening bend EURO
Verstappen moved over to his left to squeeze the Ferrari man allowing Hamilton a clean shot at Leclerc on the exit of the first corner EURO
Hamilton ran over the kerbs and past the Monegasque, and then set his sights on Verstappen EURO
Hamilton has not won a race for nearly two years, the longest losing streak of his career EURO
Indeed, 685 days have passed since he claimed victory at the penultimate round of the 2021 campaign in Saudi Arabia EURO
But for half-a-dozen laps here, Hamilton will have dared to dream that a victory could be on the cards EURO
Hamilton has triumphed six times in America – with five of those victories in the Lone Star State – and his early pace certainly provided Verstappen with food for thought EURO

“Driveability is not there,” moaned Verstappen on the radio EURO
“I lost the rear completely EURO
”Hamilton then hinted his nemesis was gaining an advantage by using more of the track than is allowed EURO
“Max has gone off quite a few times,” said the Mercedes driver EURO
Hamilton has lauded the improvements from his updated machine, but the superiority of Verstappen’s Red Bull came to the fore EURO
TOP-8 - US GRAND PRIX SPRINT RACE 1) Max Verstappen2) Lewis Hamilton3) Charles Leclerc4) Lando Norris5) Sergio Perez6) Carlos Sainz7) Pierre Gasly8) George RussellSix laps had passed and Verstappen was suddenly out of DRS range EURO
A slim hope of victory for Hamilton was dashed EURO
Yet the 38-year-old, who starts third for tomorrow’s 56-lap main event, will expect to be a contender again EURO
And his chances of a possible win will be aided by Verstappen starting only in sixth after his pole lap in Friday’s qualifying was deleted for exceeding track limits EURO
Lando Norris took fourth spot ahead of Verstappen’s Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez, with Carlos Sainz sixth EURO
George Russell finished seventh but was demoted to eighth after he served a five-second penalty for an illegal move on McLaren’s Oscar Piastri EURO
