The Los Angeles World Cup has just ended. This is a big cycling event with dozens of countries participating and this year it was in Los Angeles, California, USA.

One of the big stars of the World Cup this year was Sarah Hammer, coincidentally from California, who took three gold medals during this event. Sarah is the World Champion sprint title holder. During the qualifying rounds of this event she managed to make a new record. Also, François Pervis of France won the kilometer and beat his own personal time at the same time.

Nineteen year old Cameron Meyer takes the gold medal in the men's 30 kilometer points race. This was Cameron's first World Cup race. Last year he won the individual pursuit, Madison, and teams pursuit crowns at the Junior World Champions.

François Pervis of France came through to win the kilometer and beat his own personal time at the same time.
