Totton cyclist Jon Dibben finished 12th in the omnium at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Paris.

Colombian Fernando Rendon Gaviria won the five-event competition while Glenn O'Shea of Australia took silver with Italian Elia Viviani in third.

The 21-year-old was then forced to pullout due to illness from the Madison event on Sunday at the National Velodrome at Saints-Quentin en Yvelines, in the French capital.

Mark Christian - a team-mate of Dibben's in the newly formed Sir Bradley Wiggins' professional race team -stepped-in.

He tweeted: “Gutted, but won't start the Madison today as stranded sick in bed. Handed the place into solid hands with @MarkChristian8, bonne chance.”

It was a majorly disappointing competition for Britain.

It was the first time since 2001 that they didn't come away with a gold medal. 

They finished 10th in the event's rankings, having collected just three silver medals, which is worst performance in 14 years.

Laura Trott came second in the women's omnium, with the other two medals coming in the men's and women's team pursuit.
