His finish at Hong Kong Velodrome was nearly matched by Ceci Lee Sze-wing, who recovered from a crash to come within a whisker of beating Japanese former world champion Yumi Kajihara in the closing points race of the omnium.
Head coach Hervé Dagorne hailed a potential watershed in Lee's promising career, saying: 'I was really surprised by her. It was physically the hardest race of her life, and all day she was technically and tactically involved in the race.
'She's never suffered like that, it's what I've wanted for the past year-and-a-half, and it could be a turning point.'

A supercharged Ng claimed Hong Kong's only senior gold of the meeting, which doubled as a test event for November's National Games.
