Pendleton, 27, who won the women's sprint and partnered Shanaze Reade to the women's team sprint title, finished second.

Britain dominated all the pursuit events, with Bradley Wiggins winning three titles in the men's individual, team pursuit and madison. Chris Hoy and Pendleton won the prestigious men's and women's sprint titles.
The Netherlands won the men's one kilometer time trial and the women's scratch and points race. On the fifth and final day of racing, Tuen Mulder of the Netherlands won the men's one kilometre time trial title.
He clocked one minute 01.322 seconds for the four laps of the Manchester track, beating Michael D'Almeida of France who recorded 1:01.514. His compatriot Francois Pervis was third in a time of 1:01.579.
Eleonora Van Dijk of the Netherlands broke away in the final laps to win the women's 10km scratch race title. Yumari Gonzalez Valdivieso of Cuba was second and Belinda Goss of Australia third.
New Zealand's Hayden Godfrey won the men's omnium title. He was the best placed across the five events that make up the event, scoring the lowest total of 19 points.
