Barker, who rode in the qualifying and first-round events, joined them on the podium for her second visit of the evening. Her earlier success made it an elimination race double for GB after Matt Walls won the men's event on Wednesday.

Thursday's action also included Ollie Wood securing a bronze for Britain in the men's scratch race.

Kenny said of the team pursuit win: "That's the fastest time we've done since Rio, so that shows the form that we were in going into an Olympic year.

"It's good to know we are still moving forward, Josie is here for her first European competition and that shows the way British Cycling moves forward too.
