Cycling standout Conor White showcased his versatility on the track this weekend, securing a hard-fought second-place finish overall at the Dulwich Paragon Track Open.
Competing at the historic Herne Hill Velodrome, White, representing Jakroo Handsling, navigated a demanding programme designed to test both tactical awareness and raw sprint power. The event featured some of the UK’s most technical track formats, headlined by the Jonathan Gales Memorial 25km Scratch and the notoriously fast-paced "Danish Pursuit."
White remained a constant threat at the front of the field throughout the meeting, accumulating points with consistent top-three finishes across the multi-event schedule. His ability to read the wind and the high-paced surges of the London circuit saw him finish the day with 610 points.
Despite a spirited effort to clinch the top spot, White was narrowly eclipsed by Len Delicaet, who delivered a clinical series of performances to take the overall victory with 640 points. Arthur Tye rounded out the podium in third, trailing the leaders with a total of 530 points.
For White, who is better known for his prowess in international time trials and road racing, the podium finish at Herne Hill underlines his adaptability in a specialist environment. The high-intensity nature of track racing serves as vital preparation as the Bermudian continues his European campaign, with his sights set on further podium success in the regional road circuit later this month.
