Great Britain won team pursuit silver as the United States dominated to take World Championship gold in Berlin.
Katie Archibald, Elinor Barker, Neah Evans and Ellie Dickinson were beaten by almost two seconds by the US, who clocked 4:11.235 seconds.
Laura Kenny had earlier returned to the line-up, replacing Evans in the first round, to help them into the final.
The four-time Olympic champion had said she wouldn't ride in the team pursuit because of her broken shoulder.
GB have now won silver in the event at three successive World Championships having won the Olympic title at Rio 2016.
"This is a stepping stone on the way to Tokyo, when you are so close you want to take gold, but we have to take the positives," Evans, 29 told BBC Sport.
Barker added: "I think it is going to be really close when we get to Tokyo. The changes over the last few years - aerodynamically, physiologically, going to longer turns - have been interesting."
