Flying Dutchman Teun Mulder upset French hopes of gold to claim the kilometre crown here at the world track cycling championships Sunday. Mulder set a time of 1min 01.332sec for the four-lap race against the clock to claim the title ahead of French duo Michael D'Almeida and Francois Pervis.
D'Almeida provisionally led the field in a time of 1:01.514 but Mulder, a bronze medal winner in the keirin, was half a second faster after the first lap and went on to push the Frenchman off top spot. Pervis was the last to start and looked to have one hand on the gold but he let slip a slimmest of leads during the final lap.
