She posted on Instagram: "I am absolutely gutted to announce that I won't be riding in the omnium at the World Championships today.

"I haven't been feeling right all week for reasons we're not sure of, but we do know my performances in the team pursuit over the last two days have been well off where I have been in training over the last two weeks.
