The British trio posted a time of 44.865 seconds in qualifying third behind France and Germany. That secured a place in the third place ride-off against Poland but the Poles raised their game to take bronze.

Meanwhile, the Ingliston Criterium Series gets under way at the Royal Highland Showground tonight (first race 5.50pm).
