Australian cyclist Cameron Meyer has won the men's point race final at the world track championships at the Hong Kong Velodrome.

The 29-year-old dominated his opposition on Friday to finish with 76 points and claim victory ahead of Belgium's Kenny De Ketele and Poland's Wojciech Pszczolarski.

The success is Meyer's fourth world title in the points race after wins in 2009, 2010 and 2012 - and takes his world championship gold medal tally to eight.
