Historically Glasgow's east end has been dominated by Celtic Park, ho

:00:46.:00:51.

to the green side of one of the greatest sporting rivalries. Now,

:00:51.:00:57.

the magnificent Sir Chris Hoy velodrome as the City is up for the

:00:57.:01:02.

Games. Given what happened in London, Glasgow may find itself

:01:02.:01:12.
:01:12.:01:48.

And they are absolutely flying, Great Britain. Great Britain are

:01:48.:01:52.

the world champions. They are now the Olympic champions. They are on

:01:52.:02:02.
:02:02.:02:07.

fire. They are on fire! Here comes Chris Hoy. A new world record!

:02:07.:02:12.

Kenny is the Olympic sprint champion. He wins the Gold Medal

:02:12.:02:19.

and he has won in style. Victoria Pendleton has ignited a burners.

:02:19.:02:25.

She is the Olympic champion. The gold medal is Great Britain's. They

:02:25.:02:33.

come up to the line. Look at the time. A new world record. Laura

:02:33.:02:38.

Trott is on fire. Victoria Pendleton has career ends on a

:02:38.:02:48.
:02:48.:02:51.

Sir Chris Hoy is with me. I get emotional watching that. How do you

:02:51.:02:58.

feel? You can't beat a good montage. It is nice to have so many happy

:02:58.:03:04.

memories. It is incredible to be here in Glasgow are the track and

:03:04.:03:11.

see the crowd getting into it. It is a huge honour. It is named after

:03:11.:03:16.

you. It must be Will it. Yes, it is weird being here and not competing.

:03:16.:03:23.

Seen all of the guys, seeing the rivals and all the people I have

:03:23.:03:29.

complete it with vigour as the years and not being in a Lycra. You

:03:29.:03:39.
:03:39.:03:40.

do miss it. You miss the adrenalin. You have not retired. No, not yet.

:03:40.:03:45.

Ideally I'll be back for the Commonwealth Games. I am not

:03:45.:03:50.

thinking too far ahead. I'm taking one step at a time. I am 37 in

:03:50.:03:56.

March. One step at a time. I am off to Australia in December. That is

:03:56.:04:03.

my first training since the Olympic Games. We were see what happens. I

:04:03.:04:12.

will be building up towards 2014. Greg McLean was here, he's never

:04:12.:04:17.

taken as much time off. Is there any chance you might decide you

:04:17.:04:22.

don't want to do it? No chance I don't want to. My motivation is

:04:22.:04:27.

there. It is literally when I can do it or not and physically able or

:04:27.:04:34.

not. It is not a matter of the team, there are so many towns and riders

:04:34.:04:44.

coming through. I want to go there to win. If I believe I Can do That

:04:44.:04:50.

and I am able, I'll be there. That's the hard thing, the Olympic

:04:50.:04:56.

Games... Had to pick yourself up, that's not easy. It's not that you

:04:56.:05:03.

have to come... You have to come off the high, come down, let your

:05:03.:05:10.

body recover and mentally... You have to make a strategy for the

:05:10.:05:15.

next four years. I will not be in Rio but most of the guys in London

:05:15.:05:21.

will be there. It is about pacing yourself. You want to be world

:05:21.:05:31.

champion every year but... A busy afternoon ahead. This is what is

:05:31.:05:41.
:05:41.:05:42.

coming up on day three. The final Jason Kenny fell off yesterday and

:05:42.:05:52.
:05:52.:06:12.

Yesterday in the keirin we saw Jason Kenny fell off. It will be

:06:12.:06:15.

interesting to get your view on what happened. It must be a

:06:15.:06:25.
:06:25.:06:27.

disappointment. Yes, he looks of He didn't quite have the gas to

:06:27.:06:35.

come round. He came into far, touch the back will. Ice-pick to the

:06:35.:06:41.

national coach and he said he was looking back inside to see why the

:06:41.:06:45.

French rider was and took his eye off the German back wheel. We are

:06:45.:06:55.
:06:55.:06:58.

talking small margins. He came back down the inside and lost it. My

:06:58.:07:08.
:07:08.:07:09.

father has broken his collarbone. Jason was a surprise to he did not

:07:09.:07:19.

get on top more easily. Jason has been very busy. He is not on the

:07:19.:07:27.

same form he was. On Olympic form it would be a relatively

:07:27.:07:34.

comfortable victory. Unfortunately he wasn't and off to care is going

:07:34.:07:44.
:07:44.:07:47.

Accidents can happen and it is hard to pick out a winner. The team

:07:47.:07:57.
:07:57.:08:14.

sprint with Ed Clancy try to step the wheels. He has managed it. That

:08:14.:08:20.

was close. He managed to do it. Jason Kenny, the fastest second a

:08:20.:08:30.
:08:30.:08:33.

lap rider in the team sprint in the world. It is close! It is a big ask,

:08:33.:08:38.

0.2 in a single race. The closing stages, Germany take it from Great

:08:39.:08:48.
:08:49.:09:02.

Ed Clancy said I am no Chris Hoy, not yet. He did fantastically well.

:09:02.:09:08.

He is getting thrown into an event, the first 10 seconds he is

:09:08.:09:12.

producing more power in the perils than ever before in its team

:09:12.:09:18.

pursuit. He has a 10 weeks training to meet the transition. I think he

:09:18.:09:25.

did incredibly well. It is a great hope for the future. He could

:09:25.:09:29.

easily go back to to the seat if he didn't enjoy it so be as nothing to

:09:29.:09:35.

lose this season. And he is a relatively keener road rider. Would

:09:35.:09:38.

he want to do the weights which are necessary to become a true

:09:38.:09:44.

sprinter? That is the key thing. If he starts in the gym, his speed and

:09:45.:09:49.

power would suffer initially and it would take time. The decision was

:09:49.:09:55.

not to put him on that route initially, put him on the track. If

:09:55.:10:00.

he makes the transition properly he will spend a full winter or six

:10:00.:10:05.

months developing the strength in the gym to transfer onto the track.

:10:05.:10:09.

It would take 18 months to see that come to fruition. Ed is an amazing

:10:09.:10:17.

sprint athlete. He has some endurance but exceptional speed and

:10:17.:10:26.

powers of. He does have the ability and that is off the back of the

:10:26.:10:36.
:10:36.:10:38.

training. To you think this is him try to find a new motivation?

:10:38.:10:44.

has always been a team player. He is an exceptional individual, he

:10:44.:10:48.

could be a multi- gold medallist but chooses to put his focus on

:10:48.:10:54.

team sprint. He thrives in that environment. I think he could

:10:54.:10:59.

succeed at anything he turns his hand to. It is nice after the

:10:59.:11:04.

intensity of the Olympics to have a change of focus. I did that after

:11:04.:11:12.

Sydney, I was doing the first lap and then I went to the keirin for

:11:12.:11:16.

training for Athens. Making a slight change can elongate your

:11:16.:11:26.
:11:26.:11:31.

career. Eddie is only 27. It is exciting. -- he is only 27. We were

:11:31.:11:35.

on the track early on. We have some pictures of the being introduced to

:11:35.:11:45.
:11:45.:11:48.

the crowd. You look like a proud schoolboy. It was amazing. Some of

:11:48.:11:55.

the crowd got on their feet. It is always a bit embarrassing, you

:11:55.:12:01.

don't know what to do. It is an amazing feeling. Just to be here

:12:01.:12:11.
:12:11.:12:11.

and Philae see the facility. The building started as to seek it for

:12:11.:12:17.

a major championship is special. Your career started in Scotland,

:12:17.:12:27.
:12:27.:12:51.

let's look at this. This is your Look at this, a sensational time!

:12:51.:12:55.

It is it after untruthfully. first ever winner in the

:12:55.:13:01.

Commonwealth Games to Scotland. Chris Hoy looking for the line.

:13:01.:13:07.

Look at the time, fantastic! Chris Hoy is the world champion. Great

:13:07.:13:16.

Britain take gold. To get two gold medals in 24 hours is unbelievable.

:13:16.:13:21.

Chris Hoy it is the Olympic champion! The Commonwealth champion,

:13:21.:13:31.
:13:31.:13:34.

the world champion! Scotland take the gold. Chris Hoy takes it.

:13:34.:13:43.

goes beyond my expectations. Chris Hoy is the world sprint champion.

:13:43.:13:48.

Nobody is going to stop the flying Scot. Chris Hoy brings the team

:13:48.:13:56.

home to take the gold medal. Chris Hoy of Great Britain takes gold.

:13:56.:14:02.

has got it. Chris Hoy is the Olympic sprint champion. You try

:14:02.:14:08.

and keep a lid on it but eventually it comes out. A Night to Remember.

:14:08.:14:15.

The BBC Sports personality of the year 2008 is Chris Foy. To be

:14:15.:14:20.

crowned Sports personality of the year it means so much. A thunderous

:14:20.:14:25.

applause. The crowd are going absolutely mad. Gold medal for

:14:25.:14:35.

Great Britain. A new world record. Chris Horley gets the gold medal in

:14:35.:14:45.
:14:45.:14:54.

the keirin. His 6th gold medal -- I am going to cry. You can have had

:14:54.:15:00.

no idea what lay ahead Aviv. Not at all and to think I would still be

:15:00.:15:04.

riding my bike in my mid-thirties, to make a living out of riding a

:15:04.:15:07.

bike which was something I never thought would be possible. It

:15:07.:15:13.

started out as a hobby. I love the sport and still do. It is amazing.

:15:13.:15:17.

When you look back, some of those clips are so old, they should be

:15:17.:15:27.
:15:27.:15:30.

Those narrow frames! It is lovely to have such a nice memories and

:15:30.:15:39.

your team mates from over the years. I am not retiring yet, but it is a

:15:39.:15:45.

time in your career to look back and reflect. I am very proud and it

:15:45.:15:52.

is nice to have these amazing memories. Victoria Pendleton has

:15:52.:15:58.

retired which leaves an opportunity in the Sprint. Let's hear from

:15:58.:16:03.

Becky James. How do you feel to be looked at as maybe the next

:16:03.:16:09.

Victoria Pendleton? It is quite exciting. To live up to the

:16:09.:16:15.

standard of anything she has done would be unbelievable. I am looking

:16:15.:16:19.

forward to stepping in and getting the racing in. In the past I have

:16:19.:16:26.

not had chances to go to the World Cup. Hopefully I'll get a chance to

:16:26.:16:29.

race with the Jessica Varnish around the world. How frustrating

:16:29.:16:34.

was it to watch the London Olympics? Obviously you enjoyed

:16:34.:16:44.

your team-mates's gross excess? But there must be some mixed feelings.

:16:44.:16:50.

After a accepted it, I'd just got back into training. Watching the

:16:50.:16:55.

Olympics motivated my training, thinking how much I wanted to be

:16:55.:16:59.

there some day. I was training with the boys constantly and they really

:16:59.:17:06.

pushed me on. It was probably one of the most frustrating times of my

:17:06.:17:11.

life, but to see everyone do so well was inspiring. How would you

:17:11.:17:16.

compare yourself to Victoria, you have different physique, you are

:17:16.:17:22.

much taller, how would you describe yourself? I don't really know what

:17:22.:17:28.

to say. I want to be an all-round rider, I don't want to specialise

:17:28.:17:38.
:17:38.:17:41.

in one thing. I think I can aim for all three events. Jessica is a fast

:17:41.:17:49.

rider over the lap, but she had Victoria in the other events. I am

:17:49.:17:55.

not specialise to one certain thing. I think I'm an all-rounder. Among

:17:55.:18:00.

stole the celebration of the Games, the one heartbreak story was

:18:00.:18:04.

Jessica Varnish going away with the medal disqualification. But she has

:18:04.:18:09.

a new partnership now, how do you see that shaping up? They have got

:18:09.:18:19.

the potential to be world beaters. Jessica deserve to get something

:18:19.:18:24.

for the four years of hard work. She performed very well, a personal

:18:24.:18:29.

best at the Games. One of the heartbreaking moments in sport.

:18:29.:18:34.

Hopefully in years to come she will realise that in a different context

:18:34.:18:41.

and it will drive her honour. She has a great future, obviously with

:18:41.:18:48.

Becky as well. She has been a junior world champion, Commonwealth

:18:48.:18:55.

Games finalist. She really knows how to read a race well. It may

:18:55.:18:59.

well push each other on and inspire each other. Victoria did not have

:18:59.:19:06.

that through much of her career, she was on her own. It was cold as

:19:06.:19:16.
:19:16.:19:21.

a team and on Saturday they went sprint getting underway. It brings

:19:21.:19:26.

together Becky James and Jessica Varnish. They qualified second and

:19:26.:19:30.

third which means they were destined to meet at this stage of

:19:30.:19:36.

the competition. The rider at the back here wearing the black and

:19:36.:19:46.
:19:46.:19:47.

white Helmand is a Becky James of Wales. -- helmet. I think we would

:19:47.:19:50.

give the nod to Becky James as far of her as having a more sprint

:19:50.:20:00.

experience. It must be quite refreshing for Jess FA wish to have

:20:00.:20:06.

a change of scene. A full house begging here, and the two you were

:20:06.:20:10.

looking at on the track already have won gold medal in their pocket

:20:10.:20:15.

here from the competition having clinched the team's sprint. They

:20:15.:20:24.

are racing against each other today. Two laps to go in semi-final number

:20:24.:20:34.
:20:34.:20:34.

two. Becky James content at the moment to stop her opponent and

:20:34.:20:41.

wait for the opportunity to bounce. There is no messing about, they are

:20:41.:20:49.

both accelerating. Great move there by Becky James, a former junior

:20:49.:20:59.

world champion. The Welsh girl is on fire here. She is very young,

:20:59.:21:04.

but she is maturing all the time. Down the finishing straight,

:21:04.:21:11.

Jessica Varnish get sit on the line! She finally topples James on

:21:11.:21:18.

the final launch for the line. was certainly interesting to watch.

:21:18.:21:28.

We could see the experience of Becky James. Jessica Varnish did

:21:28.:21:36.

not panic, she waited, accelerated down the back straight. She waited

:21:36.:21:44.

until the final straight before pushing for home. Very well timed.

:21:44.:21:50.

Here is a chance to see how the tactic developed. James using the

:21:50.:21:56.

height, she went for the inside position. I did not think Jessica

:21:56.:22:03.

Varnish had the firepower to get on terms with James. They are so

:22:03.:22:07.

evenly matched her looking at that qualifying time, but she played it

:22:07.:22:17.
:22:17.:22:35.

so well in the backstreets. -- it race won, Jessica Varnish. Res two

:22:35.:22:40.

of the second semi-final of the women's sprint. A brilliant display

:22:40.:22:50.

of acceleration by Jessica Varnish. Becky James at the front here, the

:22:50.:23:00.
:23:00.:23:04.

Welsh git -- girl got a silver in in this competition. You have to

:23:04.:23:11.

remember these two have been in competition to get that teams

:23:11.:23:21.
:23:21.:23:22.

banned place with the Victoria Pendleton. Jessica Varnish is 22 on

:23:22.:23:26.

Monday. If she could win this competition that that would be a

:23:26.:23:32.

wonderful birthday present. These are the likely two that will

:23:32.:23:40.

represent Britain in Rio. Two laps to go, the second semi-final of the

:23:40.:23:46.

women's sprint. It is an all- British affair. Becky James leading

:23:46.:23:54.

at the moment. Jessica Varnish brimming over with confidence.

:23:54.:24:04.
:24:04.:24:18.

Becky James is trying to control takes the second one! We will have

:24:18.:24:28.
:24:28.:24:37.

come into play. James managed to control that race very well indeed.

:24:37.:24:43.

She did not give Jessica Varnish the chance to accelerated down that

:24:43.:24:52.

back straight. I wonder how much energy it will take out of both of

:24:52.:24:58.

these riders having to go to three, when the other two tidy their semi-

:24:59.:25:05.

finals up in two. It was a determined effort by James. She

:25:05.:25:15.
:25:15.:25:15.

wanted another race, she wanted to take it to a decider. The two

:25:15.:25:25.
:25:25.:25:45.

then Becky James took race two. Jessica Varnish has probably got a

:25:45.:25:55.
:25:55.:26:14.

slightly bigger engine. Becky James 20-year-old representing Great

:26:14.:26:23.

Britain. Her team-mate, Jessica Varnish. The winner of this clash

:26:23.:26:33.
:26:33.:26:52.

will going to the final and race cannot let James control the race.

:26:52.:26:57.

Varnish looks as though she wants to ride from the front. She feels

:26:57.:27:03.

as though this is her best chance. There is work to do here for Becky

:27:03.:27:12.

James. Varnish settling down to the job in hand. On the line, Jessica

:27:12.:27:17.

Varnish wins and goes through to the final. There was no hesitation

:27:17.:27:24.

that there from Becky James. She gave her an awful lot of rope, and

:27:24.:27:33.

in the end it was just too much. She was closing, but her timing was

:27:33.:27:43.

out. Varnish, obviously fully confident she could hold off James

:27:43.:27:53.
:27:53.:27:53.

for a full lap. High am surprised by that one. I really am. James

:27:53.:28:03.
:28:03.:28:06.

gave her a lot of distance. The street it is 10m longer. There we

:28:06.:28:12.

are. Jessica Varnish very happy with that result. They are great

:28:12.:28:16.

friends. It is all about what to Jessica Varnish can do when she

:28:16.:28:25.

shapes up against the German. Two competitors here riding in races

:28:25.:28:35.
:28:35.:28:50.

the competitor from Hong Kong. A great opportunity for Becky James

:28:50.:29:00.

to get a medal. She was only just beaten here by Jessica Varnish. It

:29:00.:29:09.

was a close-fought thing. She needs to try and get in control here.

:29:09.:29:19.
:29:19.:29:22.

They know each other well. Becky James lost 2-1 to her in Colombia.

:29:23.:29:27.

I do think the young rider from Wales can take her competitor to

:29:27.:29:34.

the limit. James takes it on the line! That crouching familiar style

:29:34.:29:44.
:29:44.:29:49.

of her as. Sharp acceleration, but she did not need that to there. She

:29:49.:29:59.
:29:59.:30:00.

was able to accelerate at her own pace. You're going there long way

:30:00.:30:06.

round to get around to a competitor. In the home straight, you're

:30:06.:30:11.

effectively going downhill. That was a great win for Becky James.

:30:11.:30:21.
:30:21.:30:22.

She has an excellent chance of waiting to come out of the

:30:22.:30:26.

slipstream. Using the slight downhill on the finishing straight

:30:26.:30:34.

to get herself in front. Jess Varnish is racing against the

:30:34.:30:42.

former junior world champion, Kristina Vogel. Kristina Vogel

:30:42.:30:51.

leads off on the inside. Kristina Vogel is an Olympic gold medallist.

:30:51.:30:58.

Jess Varnish is fired up for this one. She rode strongly in the semi-

:30:58.:31:07.

final. I think she will stretch Kristina Vogel. Kristina Vogel has

:31:07.:31:12.

a lot of experience in this event. She is on great form. Jess Varnish

:31:12.:31:21.

has a battle on her hands. She has had to work hard to get here.

:31:21.:31:29.

Kristina Vogel is a former junior world champion. She knows she has

:31:29.:31:37.

the ability. Different styles of sprinting. Jess Varnish is a

:31:37.:31:43.

typical 500 metres star rider, likes to go for a long sprint.

:31:43.:31:53.
:31:53.:32:03.

Kristina Vogel keepy control by -- ridden. Kristina Vogel is too

:32:03.:32:09.

quick for her. The German takes it. A good tactical move by Jess

:32:09.:32:16.

Varnish but left itself with too much to do. Kristina Vogel made it

:32:16.:32:26.
:32:26.:32:42.

look like she was at full tilt. spirited effort by Varnish. As they

:32:42.:32:49.

come to the line, she closed it significantly. Three-quarters of a

:32:49.:32:59.
:32:59.:33:15.

bike length. This is race two in victory is going to elevate her

:33:15.:33:25.

confidence. It gives you owe her bit of conference to take some

:33:25.:33:35.
:33:35.:34:03.

the last 24 months. She took bronze Abergavenny. She is growing in

Can she do it? No, no, it was tight. Race took goes to Hong Kong. --

:35:02.:35:12.

was very small. It just wasn't enough. Tactics are critical here.

:35:12.:35:18.

This was the builder. I thought the fact Lee stalled a little bit. She

:35:18.:35:24.

hesitated. But the difference. She waited and waited and launched a

:35:24.:35:34.
:35:34.:35:38.

little bit later. -- that's the lulling her into a false sense of

:35:38.:35:48.
:35:48.:36:07.

security. We now have to go it engine she's been developing. There

:36:07.:36:12.

was a technical infringement but the fall was there. She is really

:36:12.:36:20.

going to have to pull everything out here to beat the German. She

:36:20.:36:26.

needs to keep control of the race. Kristina Vogel is the pure sprinter.

:36:26.:36:34.

Varnish, we saw in the semi-final, is the pure sprinter. Just Varnish

:36:34.:36:41.

is a powerful. She is very very strong. They are pushing and

:36:41.:36:47.

shoving him. Varnish gets to the front. She must feel confident she

:36:47.:36:53.

can lead this out. She would try to stop the German using the speeches

:36:53.:36:59.

got. She will try and intimidate her. Varnish is gambling on the

:36:59.:37:06.

long one. Kristina Vogel try to ExCel right. Yes, she wins. The

:37:06.:37:13.

Varnish is getting the silver and Kristina Vogel gets the gold. The

:37:13.:37:20.

victory salute. She worked at the tactics and tried but it didn't

:37:20.:37:30.
:37:30.:37:42.

bigger engine and were confident to win from either front or back.

:37:42.:37:47.

There we are, the German rolling onto the line. She wins gold.

:37:57.:38:05.

won the decider. Becky James won the first race. It will be about

:38:05.:38:12.

tactics. They have been so evenly matched in the competition. It is

:38:12.:38:16.

about getting the tactics just right. A slight mistake on timing

:38:16.:38:25.

by Becky James or an improvement by Lee changed the results. It is

:38:25.:38:31.

going to be close. Very little to choose between them. Can a Becky

:38:31.:38:39.

James at the Proms to the silver Jess Varnish has already won? --

:38:39.:38:49.
:38:49.:39:00.

by the looks of it. Discouraging Becky James from going for the long

:39:00.:39:09.

one. The same tactics. One and a quarter laps to go. They are

:39:09.:39:15.

beginning to get it is turning. Lee in the whites, a tactical move by

:39:15.:39:22.

James. Becky James said thank you, I take the invitation. You need

:39:22.:39:28.

courage and bravery to do that. Here she comes. The bronze medal

:39:28.:39:33.

goes to Becky James. Brilliantly written, tactically astute. That

:39:33.:39:41.

was a gutsy move. She did not hesitate. Lee was shocked for an

:39:41.:39:48.

instant. An instant is all it took. Some fantastic reactions. Seizing

:39:48.:39:53.

the opportunity, absolutely commitment to go for the gap. She

:39:53.:40:00.

kept the height coming in to the final lap. She had the extra

:40:00.:40:07.

acceleration. A smile to melt your heart. Spellbinding action. It was

:40:07.:40:14.

a spellbinding move. You can see the height she has got. She waited

:40:14.:40:19.

for Lee to glance back and dived underneath. It was all the

:40:19.:40:28.

opportunity she needed. It was tactics but decided. But really was

:40:28.:40:32.

a fantastic news. The outcome changed in the blink of an eye.

:40:32.:40:42.

James took the opportunity, accelerated away. It's all over.

:40:42.:40:46.

Because she came underneath she got extra height to come down the track

:40:46.:40:51.

with extra acceleration. That was great. There's a big representation

:40:51.:40:55.

from the James dynasty here. That from the James dynasty here. That

:40:55.:41:00.

will please them. That move got eight nods of approval. That was

:41:00.:41:05.

gutsy. When you watch the video it looks straightforward, go for the

:41:05.:41:09.

gap but when you're racing on the track and it is a split-second

:41:09.:41:14.

decision you realise if you make that it is all or nothing. It could

:41:14.:41:21.

have been a clash, she might have fallen off or been blocked. She did

:41:21.:41:28.

it and its debt. When you start a race, you have a plan beforehand

:41:28.:41:34.

but then you have to change it depending on what happens. Yes, you

:41:34.:41:39.

can the complicate the sprint. It is best to keep it simple. That is

:41:39.:41:45.

what the coach is said to me. Anything can happen, you can have a

:41:45.:41:50.

plan, you can draw the line, you can know roughly what to starts as

:41:50.:41:54.

but you have to be flexible to have a change of position in the heat of

:41:54.:42:01.

the moment. Often it is instinctive and Becky has the instincts.

:42:01.:42:05.

surprise was the fact it was Jess Varnish who got the gold medal

:42:05.:42:13.

right. Not a surprise because they are so evenly matched. But he does

:42:13.:42:18.

have a history of racing well at this level at Commonwealth Games

:42:18.:42:24.

and in previous events. Jess is so fast. She has the acceleration, the

:42:24.:42:30.

straight line speed. Jess is still a razor. She has the ability. It

:42:30.:42:34.

has all been about team sprint until the Olympic Games. It was

:42:34.:42:39.

hard to call. You would never have been able to pick one or the other.

:42:39.:42:46.

They were evenly matched. I know it is done and dusted but it seems a

:42:46.:42:53.

shame that the rules have changed. You felt foul of it, the individual.

:42:54.:43:02.

Might it be changed? You never know with the UCI, the governing body,

:43:02.:43:07.

it is not too controversial to say they do not represent the wishes

:43:07.:43:11.

and believes of many of the riders they are supposed to represent.

:43:11.:43:15.

They often make decisions out of the blue without any consultation

:43:15.:43:20.

with the riders. You look at an event but the sprint and it doesn't

:43:20.:43:25.

encourage young riders to come through. Most nations have one or

:43:25.:43:29.

rider who is favourite for the Games, me and Jason had a battle

:43:29.:43:34.

for the spot, Jason got it deservedly so. But what about the

:43:34.:43:44.

others? They have to wait until someone retires until they can step

:43:44.:43:48.

into the shoes. It is frustrating for younger athletes and does not

:43:48.:43:50.

help the sport developed by not giving the younger athletes a

:43:50.:43:54.

chance. Thankfully we do have younger riders coming through and

:43:54.:44:04.
:44:04.:44:08.

you never know. Maybe you have a career with the use the I! A busy

:44:08.:44:18.
:44:18.:44:53.

weekend for Jess and Becker. Now, one bronze in the keirin in her

:44:53.:44:59.

career. Jess Varnish of Great Britain will be in high spirits

:44:59.:45:06.

this morning. She secured a silver medal in the Sprint last night.

:45:06.:45:16.
:45:16.:45:26.

They had some issues with the Tinne The maximum speed in the women's

:45:26.:45:36.
:45:36.:46:01.

Keirin, just slightly lower than though it is just the heats,

:46:01.:46:08.

building for this afternoon's finals. The pace lifting all a time,

:46:08.:46:14.

the drone of the engine is getting slightly louder. The speed is

:46:14.:46:22.

getting quicker all the time. Three laps to go in heat of one of the

:46:22.:46:32.

women's Keirin. This is the first round. They have got just over one-

:46:32.:46:37.

and-a-half laps to sort it out for stops the first moves are starting

:46:37.:46:47.
:46:47.:46:48.

to develop. The middle of the pack is the place to be right now.

:46:48.:46:55.

Jessica Varnish has some work to do, but a gap has opened up for her.

:46:55.:47:02.

First two go through by rights. Here is an early move by a leaf

:47:02.:47:12.
:47:12.:47:18.

Hong Kong. Jessica Varnish finishing second. She moves into

:47:18.:47:28.
:47:28.:47:31.

the next round by right. That was strong. Varnish almost got into a

:47:31.:47:40.

little bit of trouble but found her way back around the outside. A late

:47:40.:47:49.

challenge came, we can see that in the shot. Varnish made the right

:47:49.:47:55.

move, but the danger was coming on her own side. The judges are so

:47:55.:48:01.

strict now, constantly watching the lines. People moving off the line,

:48:01.:48:09.

cannot be construed as getting in the wake of the rider. There is the

:48:09.:48:19.
:48:19.:48:28.

first two are going to the final by rights. Britain represented by

:48:28.:48:38.
:48:38.:49:02.

that is Jessica Varnish. Can Becky James joined her? There is another

:49:02.:49:07.

factor in this racing. Most of these competitors have done a lot

:49:07.:49:13.

of racing already. It is about who recovers well over the course of

:49:13.:49:22.

the three days. There are tired legs in there. There certainly are.

:49:22.:49:29.

And Becky James won herself a bronze medal last night. She is

:49:29.:49:37.

happy to be an almost last position at the moment. Nothing really

:49:37.:49:42.

happens on until the daily swings out of the way. There is plenty of

:49:42.:49:51.

time yet. Becky has already got one gold medal in her pocket from the

:49:51.:50:01.
:50:01.:50:02.

competition here, that came on day one in the Sprint. Can the two

:50:02.:50:08.

British competitors make it through to the next round of that Keirin?

:50:08.:50:18.
:50:18.:50:21.

Four more laps to go. Starting to move up than in anticipation.

:50:21.:50:30.

laps to go in heat two, round one of the women's Keirin. Becky James

:50:30.:50:35.

moving up into second position. James looking as if she would like

:50:35.:50:39.

to get into the front position but the rider from Russia will not let

:50:39.:50:46.

her. She is in a difficult position. You have to make a choice, on the

:50:46.:50:54.

front or on the wheel. She is being held at the moment. The rider from

:50:54.:51:04.
:51:04.:51:13.

position she will qualify. James takes it on the line. A great

:51:13.:51:21.

finish by her. The Russian will join her. She is clearly in great

:51:21.:51:28.

shape. She spent a lot of time on the outside riding in the wind. The

:51:28.:51:33.

confidence of was that there. The Spaniard coming over the top was

:51:33.:51:39.

perfect for her. She even had the legs to come around on the line.

:51:39.:51:44.

Looking good for this afternoon. Certainly. This is where Becky

:51:44.:51:49.

James profited from the fact the Spanish woman went early and she

:51:49.:51:59.
:51:59.:52:01.

had a youth we look to a map. was almost scripted for her there.

:52:01.:52:11.
:52:11.:52:22.

winning. This means that two British competitors are through to

:52:22.:52:28.

the next round. Three laps to go in the third and final heat of round

:52:28.:52:33.

one of the women's Keirin. It is the first two to qualify and the

:52:33.:52:43.
:52:43.:53:04.

good news is, the two riders from fire, Kristina Vogel, who won the

:53:04.:53:10.

gold medal last night. She is dictating the terms here. The

:53:10.:53:15.

German is going to take it. She goes through to the next round

:53:15.:53:25.
:53:25.:53:32.

cleanly. The other qualifier is The men sprint is underway. It was

sleepiness. This was the restart. A bit of a slip Mayor, but you can

see his tyre has actually come off hanging off. There is no way you

:54:45.:54:53.

pop off and that is what happened there. That is am not a nice fall,

he landed on his head. He landed with full force. He will feel that

:55:00.:55:10.
:55:10.:55:12.

in the morning. Two aborted attempts in that round of 16. We

:55:12.:55:17.

can now catch up with what happened when they tried it, third-time

:55:17.:55:27.

lucky hopefully for Phil Heinz. Heat seven of the men sprint. The

:55:27.:55:37.
:55:37.:56:01.

bulls are quite simple here. It is these two riders trying to sort

:56:01.:56:08.

this out. They have both had a crash. I have noticed Philip Hindes

:56:08.:56:14.

has the same clothing on, they are full of holes. He has chosen to

:56:14.:56:23.

keep the same clothing on. There is a lot of dust as well. I wonder if

:56:23.:56:32.

that is responsible for a very slippery track. Philip Hindes on

:56:32.:56:40.

the front, wary of his opponent. Probably the more experienced of

:56:40.:56:46.

the two when it comes to the sprint. They have both been in the war

:56:46.:56:55.

years. At least that part of it is even. The prize at stake is a place

:56:55.:57:00.

in the quarter-finals. Philip Hindes looking to gather himself to

:57:00.:57:10.
:57:10.:57:25.

That was eight mistake by Philip Hindes. He did everything right, he

:57:25.:57:33.

kept moving, he just carried on a quarter of a lap too far. His

:57:33.:57:37.

opponent it took the initiative. said earlier that we felt the rider

:57:37.:57:43.

from the Czech Republic was the most experienced. Philip Hindes is

:57:43.:57:53.

certainly quite. He was drafted in last minute for the Olympic Games.

:57:53.:57:58.

He does have a lack of experience in the sprint event, but that is

:57:58.:58:08.
:58:08.:58:09.

why he is here. A man that can write 17.24 the sprint event has

:58:09.:58:19.
:58:19.:58:21.

the potential to develop. He did Disappointment for Philip Hindes

:58:21.:58:27.

there. The guys in commentary talking about his inexperience.

:58:28.:58:32.

spoke to one of the coaches earlier on it who said that if he learns

:58:32.:58:37.

from all the mistakes he has made this weekend, he will be an expert.

:58:37.:58:44.

To be fair to him, it has been a massive build up to become Olympic

champion aged 19 and then have this short period to get back into

:58:49.:58:54.

training and be thrown into the deep end. It is all new experience

:58:54.:59:01.

for him, he has made a couple of mistakes and he has fallen off. But

he has this four year period to hopefully branch out a little bit.

Two potentially become a sprint or a Keirin rider. It has changed his

:59:12.:59:20.

life. He was born and raised in Germany, his dad is English. He has

now come back to the UK, three years ago, and he has been an

:59:26.:59:32.

integral part and one of the reasons we won the gold medal in

:59:32.:59:39.

the team sprint. He came in and improved so quickly. To do 17.2

:59:39.:59:43.

seconds at that age, usually you have to do years of strength

:59:43.:59:48.

training and development to produce that. It is hard to predict how far

:59:48.:59:54.

he could go. His talent seems unending if he can just keep his

:59:54.:59:59.

head on and focused. Talk about that rivalry between Jessica at and

:00:00.:00:09.
:00:10.:00:10.

Becky, potentially with Jason and Philip Hindes? Absolutely. There

:00:10.:00:14.

are numerous guys in the system up coming through the who we could be

:00:14.:00:21.

talking about in a very short space of time. Jason needs that upward

:00:21.:00:25.

pressure from the younger guys, like I had when I was trying to

:00:25.:00:35.
:00:35.:00:37.

keep myself going. It is important, In terms of your mentoring role, do

:00:37.:00:42.

you take that very seriously, or you focusing on Chris Hoy, rider in

:00:42.:00:48.

your own right? A little bit of both. I always tried to do what

:00:48.:00:53.

Dames McLean did for me. It wasn't really the coaching infrastructure,

:00:53.:00:57.

that there is now. I was very lucky to have Jason and Craig, they were

:00:57.:01:01.

faster, more able and more experienced, and I could learn from

:01:01.:01:06.

them. I tried to do the same. It's tough, these guys are fighting for

:01:06.:01:11.

your spot. You do all you can to help them, but you make sure that

:01:11.:01:16.

you are sorted first. Let's go to our first allied action, the men's

:01:16.:01:26.
:01:26.:01:31.

sprint semi-finals. The man next to Good afternoon to Hugh Porter. You

are looking fine, gentleman. Looking forward to the action?

Jess Varnish, all in all I think it will be a good afternoon. These two

:01:57.:02:00.

Germans are very strong in the sprint? We could be looking at the

:02:00.:02:05.

final. Unfortunately, because all the way they qualified, they are up

:02:05.:02:15.
:02:15.:02:18.

against each other now. It will be for the first semi-final. It could

:02:18.:02:25.

be a good tussle. Robert Forster man has muscles on his muscles. He

Dimitriev, the Russian. He was 5th in the Sprint in London. He's been

:02:54.:02:56.

around a bit. I think you have to favour the masterly German, here.

:02:56.:03:02.

He looks like he's wearing a muzzle suit, like you get for a fancy-

:03:02.:03:06.

dress party. Chris Hoy will probably make a

:03:06.:03:13.

comment about him. If my memory serves me correctly, I think it was

:03:13.:03:16.

him that jumped away from him when they met in Manchester, he got the

:03:16.:03:25.

better of the great Kris Boyd. Denis Dimitriev is leading at the

:03:25.:03:35.
:03:35.:03:51.

moment. About 26 years of age, Forstemann, the masterly German

:03:51.:04:01.
:04:01.:04:08.

glides away from the opposition and that leads the team sprint one

:04:08.:04:15.

available. Very, very strong. A very different line of development.

:04:15.:04:20.

If you watch the British sprinters, they are much finer. Still very

:04:20.:04:26.

powerful builds, but the Germans have a real power development

:04:26.:04:31.

approach to these games. It seems to be working well. They certainly

:04:31.:04:41.

do their work in the gym. Some heavy squatting. Forstemann first

:04:41.:04:50.

wins round one. Race two, they are going to bring out Stefan

:04:50.:04:55.

Boetticher of Germany. Chris Hoy gave me the heads upon this fellow,

:04:55.:05:05.
:05:05.:05:05.

about 12 months ago. He said, watch this guy, he has a big future. He

:05:05.:05:09.

beat Forstemann on the way. He is starting to reflect class and speed.

:05:09.:05:17.

He has opposition from Spain, the third quickest in the time trial.

:05:17.:05:22.

Of course, Stefan Boetticher of Germany has won gold medal, having

:05:22.:05:27.

won the Keirin yesterday. Germans, I can't see how anybody is

:05:27.:05:37.
:05:37.:05:44.

German. They have real strength in depth, the sprinting squad. In the

:05:44.:05:48.

run-up to the Olympic Games, they really stepped up their game. They

:05:48.:05:54.

are carrying on the momentum after the Olympics. The old double straps,

:06:04.:06:07.

for the sprinting. No desire to halt the fat, or an clip. -- pull

:07:53.:07:57.

German final. I'd be very surprised if it isn't. The pace is just

:07:57.:08:03.

beginning to lift. Still looking for the surprise attack. Just

:08:03.:08:13.
:08:13.:08:17.

wondering if the German is going to I think that will play into the

:08:17.:08:23.

hands of the German. On to the shoulder. Stefan Boetticher of

:08:23.:08:33.
:08:33.:08:37.

Germany, at a canter. It's hard to know what he could do. He wanted to

:08:37.:08:47.
:08:47.:08:55.

be in second position, he was happy Germany. He gets the bit between

:08:55.:09:05.
:09:05.:09:21.

his teeth and there is no stopping a big thighs. Forstemann?

:09:21.:09:28.

They are, they are like nothing anybody had ever seen before. I

:09:29.:09:32.

think it is exaggerated because of his height, his legs are quite

:09:32.:09:37.

short and it emphasises the cartoon nature of his thighs. He tried a

:09:37.:09:41.

bit of a march at the World Championships, right from the gun

:09:41.:09:47.

he just went, rather than this cat- and-mouse? Yes, nice of you to

:09:47.:09:53.

mention that(!) Thanks for bringing that up. He beat you? The first

:09:53.:09:57.

round of the world championships, 2010. Normally it is nice and

:09:57.:10:03.

steady, there is some cat and mouse. He literally just went on the gun

:10:03.:10:07.

for three laps. He had a big gap of about 40 metres on me. I slowly got

:10:07.:10:14.

it back but I didn't catch him. I had to go back, and it messed up my

:10:14.:10:18.

world championships. You make that mistake once, you're always aware

:10:18.:10:22.

of it from then on. Jason Kenny did the same in the world championships

:10:23.:10:28.

in Melbourne. He did beat him, but he was relegated for flicking out.

:10:28.:10:32.

We are going to turn our thoughts to the omnium, which means the

:10:32.:10:37.

appearance of Victoria -- Laura Trott. Although Victoria Pendleton

:10:37.:10:43.

might be in Strictly Come Dancing, Laura Trott has The X Factor.

:10:43.:10:48.

knows what is at stake. A gold medal is going to be for Laura

:10:48.:10:54.

Trott! It went down to the wire! seems no time at all since we were

:10:54.:10:58.

in the Olympic Velodrome. What is the focus now? Has it been

:10:58.:11:01.

difficult to motivate yourself? feel like motivation was not a

:11:01.:11:05.

problem for me. I wanted to get back on the bike. I was missing his

:11:05.:11:10.

after the Games. You almost crave it, it is an everyday thing for me.

:11:10.:11:14.

Now, this isn't a target, this is just going to enjoy the home crowd,

:11:14.:11:21.

new track. With the new team, as well, which we have not put on the

:11:21.:11:27.

track before. That will be good. The main target, I want to win

:11:27.:11:31.

worlds again. I want to get the titles that I'm going for. Then we

:11:31.:11:34.

are looking forward to the Commonwealth Games, that is the

:11:34.:11:38.

first stepping stone, and then onto Rio. And your first visit to

:11:38.:11:42.

Scotland, shame on you, not coming here before! Looking at your

:11:42.:11:46.

schedule, you are going to be busy. You are writing the omnium and it

:11:46.:11:50.

is the kind of event that you add on as a result of your training for

:11:50.:11:54.

the team pursued. Where do you think you are as far as the omnium

:11:54.:11:59.

is concerned? -- team pursuits. Form comes with team pursuit. I

:11:59.:12:03.

normally judge how well I'm going to do on how that goes. We are not

:12:04.:12:09.

in world record shape, far from it. It's just about getting the best

:12:09.:12:14.

ride there. The omnium, for me, it is about having fun. Just going out,

:12:14.:12:17.

enjoying my bike racing and learning from what I didn't do at

:12:17.:12:21.

the Games. Although I won, it wasn't a perfect scenario. I went

:12:21.:12:31.
:12:31.:12:32.

into the last rites, -- race, well behind where I should have been. So

:12:32.:12:37.

I just want to do new things, try things and see what happens. This

:12:37.:12:42.

isn't the target, the worlds is. To do new things here is only going to

:12:42.:12:47.

help me. She really is a superstar. So much so that her boyfriend,

:12:47.:12:52.

Jason Kenny, has one more gold medal and he says he is referred to

:12:52.:12:57.

as Laura Trott's boyfriend! have to feel sorry for him, he is

:12:57.:13:01.

the plus one everywhere he goes. But she is a superstar already. The

:13:01.:13:05.

crowd love her. They see their way that she responds, the way that she

:13:05.:13:11.

races, 1920 years of age, she has the world at her feet.

:13:11.:13:16.

certainly has. We are talking about her taking over from Victoria

:13:16.:13:19.

Pendleton as the Queen of the track, she is that already. Yes, she has

:13:20.:13:24.

the same number of medals as Victoria Pendleton, so she is one

:13:24.:13:28.

of the big names on the world track cycling stage. In case you have

:13:28.:13:34.

forgotten, the omnium is multi events on a bike. We are going to

:13:35.:13:38.

see the scratch race and time trial later. Let's catch up with the

:13:38.:13:48.
:13:48.:13:49.

rolling with the 250 metres flying lap. The time was enough to give

:13:49.:13:56.

her 4th place after this first event. The fastest time was Ashlee

:13:56.:14:01.

Ankudinoff of Australia. Next, the points race. Britain's Olympic

:14:01.:14:06.

champion won one of the Olympic sprints and she was in close

:14:06.:14:11.

attendance for a couple more. The final sprint was won by Ankudinoff.

:14:12.:14:15.

The Australian is bringing some good form in today's Glasgow World

:14:15.:14:21.

Cup. She narrowly leads the field after those first two disciplines.

:14:21.:14:31.
:14:31.:14:36.

for the British Colors, she is wearing the world championship

:14:36.:14:40.

jersey which is the world omnium champion. That is the ultimate

:14:40.:14:45.

tizzy to wear. It's the white jersey with rainbow stripes. --

:14:45.:14:55.
:14:55.:14:57.

the rider from Finland is the first to be eliminated. Well, that was

:14:57.:15:02.

easy. That is the 29-year-old from Finland. That was easy to spot.

:15:02.:15:08.

don't think it will stay like that for the entire race at all. She is

:15:08.:15:13.

out. At the moment, she is last in the omnium. She had an 18th place

:15:13.:15:17.

and she is way out of the standings. Now it's the rider from Spain in

:15:17.:15:27.
:15:27.:15:28.

trouble. I'm quite surprised, because she is a very good rider.

:15:28.:15:38.
:15:38.:15:42.

It is actually the rider from Hong there. Two riders are eliminated

:15:42.:15:52.
:15:52.:15:53.

already. It is almost to a gentle start, they haven't really got

:15:53.:16:02.

fired up yet. Ashlee Ankudinoff will have to work. She is moving,

:16:02.:16:12.
:16:12.:16:16.

she saw the danger. Is she going to get through? We have got a crash!

:16:16.:16:26.
:16:26.:16:32.

Now umber eight team, the German is out. -- number 18. The riders will

:16:32.:16:39.

be asked to ride above the blue. That is a heavy fall. You can just

:16:39.:16:49.
:16:49.:17:05.

Manning the coach holding up Laura Trott. He was the leader of man for

:17:05.:17:11.

the team pursued for many years. Olympic Commonwealth and world

:17:11.:17:17.

champion. And he is proving to be a very good coach. I think he is the

:17:17.:17:25.

most successful coach for a Team GB of all times. I bet he never

:17:26.:17:32.

thought he would end as the coach. He got a degree in geology, but he

:17:32.:17:39.

is now all a brilliant coach. a non- neutralised Lapper again as

:17:39.:17:49.
:17:49.:17:50.

everybody battles to get themselves at the front. -- lap. Once again,

:17:50.:17:56.

it is the fastest lap we have seen. It is the Italian at the back who

:17:56.:18:03.

finds her weight on the outside. It is Ryan of either -- Island, she

:18:03.:18:13.
:18:13.:18:13.

may get through here. Ryan is boxed in at the bottom. It will be

:18:13.:18:19.

difficult to get out of that. People want to hold to their so

:18:19.:18:27.

they can control the pace and use you as cannon fodder. Ryan of

:18:27.:18:36.

Ireland is the first eliminations. Number 22. In case you did not

:18:36.:18:41.

catch the men event at last night, the light on the handlebars flash

:18:41.:18:47.

when they are out to make sure they know when to leave the race. Who is

:18:47.:18:52.

it going to be this time? The pressure at the back of the field

:18:52.:19:00.

is almost intolerable. It looks like the rider from Belarus,

:19:00.:19:10.
:19:10.:19:11.

Tatsiana Sharakova. No, I think it is the 34. Was it? I think it was.

:19:11.:19:20.

Yes. But it is the rider from Thailand. She knows. Now the

:19:20.:19:28.

American is in a little bit of trouble here. I am quite surprised

:19:28.:19:35.

the way it Ashlee Ankudinoff is riding. She must be brimming over

:19:35.:19:44.

with confidence. Laura Trott is at the front. Mexican out this time, I

:19:44.:19:52.

think. Yes. Laura Trott in a perfect position, second position,

:19:52.:20:00.

she has got some shelter and plenty of room to manoeuvre. Ashlee

:20:00.:20:08.

Ankudinoff riding at the back, very strange. The American Higgins in

:20:08.:20:18.
:20:18.:20:22.

the hot seat. There is nowhere to go. That looked like number elevens.

:20:22.:20:32.
:20:32.:20:34.

The Spanish rider. Yes. The field thinning out. Still, the 21-year-

:20:34.:20:41.

old Australian riding this from the back. An amazing tactic. Just

:20:41.:20:48.

moving up on cue. Tatsiana Sharakova is doing a fantastic job

:20:48.:20:56.

for Laura Trott. Raising the pace. Higgins could be in trouble this

:20:56.:21:06.
:21:06.:21:08.

time. I think it is that the French woman. The same thing again, in the

:21:08.:21:12.

middle of the pack, it tries to squeeze forward and finds there is

:21:12.:21:22.
:21:22.:21:22.

no room. And now it is the rider from Poland in a perfect position.

:21:22.:21:28.

The American again, she is making hard work of this. We have seen

:21:28.:21:33.

Laura Trott read like this remember. We thought she was in trouble when

:21:33.:21:41.

in actual fact she had it completely under control. It is the

:21:41.:21:48.

rider from the Czech Republic. And we are thinning down the field.

:21:48.:21:52.

Ashlee Ankudinoff moves up and the American is still sitting at the

:21:52.:22:00.

back. Maybe they had been studying the Laura Trott Guide! Higgins at

:22:00.:22:06.

the back, on the inside of her his Tatsiana Sharakova of. These two

:22:06.:22:13.

are duelling for the back positions. Tatsiana Sharakova looks to be the

:22:13.:22:19.

victim this time, but can she move up the outside? Yes, and it is

:22:19.:22:27.

Higgins. Finally, the American it is eliminated. It is a game you can

:22:27.:22:37.
:22:37.:22:39.

only play for so long. Laura Trott has taken it on it now. What

:22:39.:22:47.

strange how she got in her legs? Pretty good, this is the time to

:22:47.:22:57.
:22:57.:22:58.

make a move its. Not much more than ten laps to go now. Trott is riding

:22:58.:23:06.

well. The Venezuelan is out. think she might have been

:23:06.:23:13.

disqualified for being off the track. Seven left. Laura Trott

:23:13.:23:18.

dictating this, keeping them on her shoulder. The Queen of the

:23:18.:23:26.

Elimination contest. On the inside, the Australian, Chris, that is not

:23:26.:23:36.

good. She is in a box and will have to come round the long way. It was

:23:36.:23:46.
:23:46.:23:48.

tight, she did. Laura Trott has ridden this in a different way than

:23:48.:23:58.
:23:58.:24:01.

usual. She has barely been out of the top two. Again, Ashlee

:24:01.:24:11.

Ankudinoff is at the back. She must be very confident. Laura Trott is a

:24:11.:24:17.

little bit swamped there. She is checking over her shoulder. Again,

:24:17.:24:27.
:24:27.:24:45.

nemesis go out. Laura Trott is under pressure. But with a little

:24:45.:24:55.
:24:55.:24:57.

bit of acceleration she just moves up the side and the crowd love it.

:24:57.:25:07.
:25:07.:25:10.

Was that the Australian? It was Alex macro --! This could turn the

:25:10.:25:15.

overall positions upside down. Tatsiana Sharakova is still in

:25:15.:25:22.

there. She could become the new leader if she can remain in the

:25:22.:25:32.
:25:32.:25:32.

race. This is an important sprint. Tatsiana Sharakova does not have

:25:32.:25:39.

the legs! We are down to three. did a lot of work earlier on in the

:25:39.:25:49.
:25:49.:25:56.

race, perhaps she is paying the And this is the one she would love

:25:56.:26:06.

to get. It is her favourite event. Here she comes! She has got the

:26:06.:26:16.
:26:16.:26:17.

measure of the other athletes. It is going down to two. The Russian

:26:17.:26:27.
:26:27.:26:28.

has conceded. And that is the final sprint. It is our Laura Trott

:26:28.:26:35.

verses the world scratched champion of from Poland. -- world scratched

:26:35.:26:45.
:26:45.:26:59.

Laura Trott wins and gets a standing ovation. Laura Trott, the

:26:59.:27:09.
:27:09.:27:15.

world champion. A lovely piece of riding. That one she wrote first

:27:15.:27:25.
:27:25.:27:31.

and second position all the way through. -- rode. We have now got a

:27:31.:27:39.

tyre for the first position thanks to that. -- a tie. And she has her

:27:39.:27:45.

key event to come at the end. used to say it was Queen Victoria.

:27:45.:27:51.

And when she retired I said, Stepaside, here comes the Lady in

:27:51.:28:01.
:28:01.:28:12.

Waiting. Look at that smile, one day to go. Laura Trott has

:28:12.:28:22.
:28:22.:28:24.

elevated herself up to fourth, one. Shy of the medal positions. Here

:28:24.:28:34.
:28:34.:28:34.

the first event of the third day. She loves the time trial here. The

:28:34.:28:44.

Flying Lap and the pursuit, this is her at her strongest. A indeed.

:28:44.:28:48.

This actually was the fastest time of the day so that was great from

:28:48.:28:57.

Laura Trott. It is the athlete with the least. That wins. And there we

:28:57.:29:05.

go. The standings after four events. Laura Trott equal to Ashlee

:29:05.:29:15.
:29:15.:29:20.

So, women doing particularly well here. There is a new development.

:29:20.:29:25.

We have these men teams in the Tour de France. Bradley Wiggins and his

:29:25.:29:33.

foundation have got involved. We have Laura up Trott as part of that.

:29:33.:29:39.

Do you know much about what is happening with that? Not too much.

:29:39.:29:45.

Probably as much as you. It is about time we got a professional

:29:45.:29:53.

women's team which can focus on the track and the road. It is fantastic

:29:53.:29:57.

to have this team, and to give them the right support and the chance to

:29:57.:30:06.

shine. Something you have been involved in was the legacy of this

:30:06.:30:13.

track. Getting young kids involved in cycling. On Friday we had 1000

:30:13.:30:17.

local schoolkids here. They live near the Velodrome and have seen it

:30:17.:30:22.

being built, this was a chance for them to experience track cycling

:30:22.:30:27.

and hopefully it has inspired them. Schools are getting a chance to

:30:27.:30:32.

come and have a go on the track. If anyone has an aptitude for it, they

:30:32.:30:37.

can keep going and there will be a competitions for them. Hopefully it

:30:37.:30:42.

will inspire people to get involved. It is about giving people the

:30:42.:30:52.
:30:52.:30:54.

chance to try the sport and reap finals. You can see both of the

:30:54.:31:04.
:31:04.:31:10.

can possibly not both go through to the final, Forstemann and Stefan

:31:10.:31:17.

Boetticher. What can Denis Dimitriev do? Well, he is sprinting

:31:17.:31:24.

well. But Forstemann is clearly better. I can't see anything he can

:31:24.:31:34.
:31:34.:31:45.

do, really. A very capable sprinter huge problem. He has to work out

:31:45.:31:51.

how he can beat this muscly German. It will be interesting if he can

:31:51.:31:55.

try and do belong one, nobody has gone for that yet in this

:31:55.:32:00.

competition, just go full-on from the start. He's got nothing to lose.

:32:00.:32:08.

If he can get this one, it could be quite telling. It's a tactic that

:32:08.:32:10.

Jason Kenny used in the world championships in Melbourne and it

:32:10.:32:16.

nearly paid off. Well, it's not been used for several years, it is

:32:16.:32:22.

all or nothing. If it doesn't come off, your opponent, who has been

:32:22.:32:26.

sitting out of the wind behind you, is going to walk all over you. It

:32:26.:32:32.

really is do-or-die. But a couple of people had employed it, because

:32:32.:32:38.

it has been used for ages, and that gives it an element of surprise.

:32:38.:32:43.

I'll tell you what, the noise in this arena, it would resonate all

:32:43.:32:46.

the way around the Velodrome. It's the kind of thing we like to see.

:32:46.:32:51.

It is possibly his only chance, to try to jump away. But he's just too

:32:51.:32:55.

strong and powerful. It has to be tactical, it's not going to be

:32:55.:32:58.

physical. Forstemann is not going to give him the opportunity. He

:32:58.:33:08.
:33:08.:33:19.

German and now he will just forced it to the line. 2-02 Robert

:33:19.:33:29.
:33:29.:33:37.

under a lap to go and he was on the shoulder. Forstemann spotted the

:33:38.:33:41.

danger and he drove hard to stop him getting that advantage. That is

:33:41.:33:46.

where the race was won and lost. But once he had gone into the front,

:33:46.:33:50.

there was no way, really, that the Russian was going to get back over

:33:50.:33:59.

the top. Just outgunned. The wind, blowing backwards almost, at that

:33:59.:34:09.
:34:09.:34:14.

kind of speed. So, Forstemann, 2-0, next one. This young German, Stefan

:34:14.:34:24.
:34:24.:34:25.

Boetticher, against Peralta Gascon special. They will be watching that

:34:25.:34:33.

now, because he is the only man may have got. The man with dynamite in

:34:33.:34:40.

his thighs. Look at those shoulders. He is such a different build to any

:34:40.:34:50.
:34:50.:35:00.

on your side. He would be great if very impressed with, Stefan

:35:00.:35:07.

Boetticher. A very young face. I tell you what, he rides with an

:35:07.:35:17.
:35:17.:35:54.

Spaniard is to lead off. He's not going to be able to jump away, from

:35:54.:36:04.
:36:04.:36:14.

talking about. On his way up to the senior rank, he got himself a

:36:14.:36:24.
:36:24.:36:28.

silver medal in the World Junior one of those green markers against

:36:28.:36:38.
:36:38.:36:46.

sprinter. That is, of course, relative to the rest of the

:36:46.:36:56.
:36:56.:37:07.

Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome. I understand that tickets went almost

:37:07.:37:11.

within minutes of being advertised, such is the popularity of the sport

:37:11.:37:21.
:37:21.:37:25.

they come round with three laps to go. The only opportunity is trying

:37:25.:37:35.
:37:35.:37:40.

Boetticher, haven't you? He's brimming with confidence, the young

:37:40.:37:50.
:37:50.:37:56.

this in the saddle. He hasn't applied full pressure and Peralta

:37:56.:38:01.

is just trying to cling to his coat-tails. So, we have a German

:38:01.:38:11.
:38:11.:38:29.

about managed to get him up on to the wheel. But absolutely nothing

:38:29.:38:39.

to come around. Fast sprints, 10.2, 10.4. Very quick. So, an all-German

:38:39.:38:44.

final to come. That is Forstemann against Stefan Boetticher, in the

:38:44.:38:53.

That's going to be a good final? is. I think most people are

:38:53.:38:57.

expecting Forstemann to win. But I reckon that Stefan Boetticher could

:38:57.:39:00.

pull off a surprise. I think he's got a bit more adaptability than

:39:00.:39:05.

Forstemann. He's very good at the late, Short, acceleration based

:39:05.:39:10.

sprints, but Stefan Boetticher can go wrong, he can go from two lapse

:39:10.:39:16.

out. If he could force him to get onto pace early on, he can have a

:39:16.:39:19.

chance of competing from the back. If he can prevent him from getting

:39:19.:39:23.

to the front, I think he could beat him. How much analysis goes into

:39:23.:39:28.

looking at your opponents? In cricket, you analyse batsmen and

:39:28.:39:31.

see where their weaknesses are. You sit down with the coaches,

:39:31.:39:35.

Forstemann, this is his weakness and this is his strength, and sort

:39:35.:39:39.

out a plan? It's funny, in most other events you focus on yourself,

:39:39.:39:44.

you focus on your performance. You don't worry about your rivals, what

:39:44.:39:48.

they are doing. In the sprint, you analyse their strengths and

:39:48.:39:52.

weaknesses. We have an iPad and you will send information straight

:39:52.:39:56.

there, it will analyse the race immediately and you can look at the

:39:56.:40:00.

different strengths and weaknesses of your opponents. The guys will be

:40:00.:40:03.

spending a lot of time right now. It's difficult when it's your team-

:40:03.:40:07.

mate, they train together and know each other very well. They will

:40:07.:40:11.

know, first hand, the experience of what it is like to race with each

:40:11.:40:17.

other and trained with each other. Let's swap to Keirin. In Heaton, we

:40:17.:40:27.
:40:27.:40:36.

have Jess Varnish. You can see the riots that she has had in the last

:40:37.:40:39.

few days. But they are both incredible athletes and will be

:40:39.:40:45.

able to deal with that workload. Presumably it will be sandy Clare

:40:45.:40:48.

or the Hong Kong rider, she will try to use them, get a bit of a

:40:48.:40:58.
:40:58.:41:00.

draft. Conserve energy? Conserve your energy, savoured for the final.

:41:00.:41:10.
:41:10.:41:11.

Make sure you are in the final. -- heat in the second round of the

:41:11.:41:15.

women's Keirin. Nobody knows more about riding three events and

:41:15.:41:19.

winning three gold medals than Kris Boyd. He will know just what it is

:41:19.:41:25.

like. He will now how much fatigue the British competitors are

:41:25.:41:35.
:41:35.:42:00.

carrying. Varnish was second in the after the silver medal in the

:42:00.:42:10.
:42:10.:42:32.

sprint last night. Just pipped to before it swings off. In the

:42:32.:42:38.

women's Keirin, it is 45 mph. That is just slightly slower than the

:42:38.:42:43.

men's. The sound is getting louder, indicating that the speed is

:42:43.:42:53.
:42:53.:43:15.

lifting. You expect fireworks in Then the riders will launch

:43:15.:43:18.

themselves into a flat-out sprint. It is the first three over the line.

:43:18.:43:28.
:43:28.:43:39.

It's about getting yourself going to get themselves into

:43:39.:43:45.

position. Already, we can see some movement. Some gaps starting to

:43:45.:43:55.
:43:55.:44:13.

fall. The Day and Co is still third spot. That is Clare. And

:44:13.:44:20.

Varnish, they are going to hit the line with 250 to go. Jess Varnish

:44:20.:44:24.

has tried to come through on the wheel of Wai Sze Lee of Hong Kong.

:44:24.:44:29.

Jess Varnish looks like she is struggling. A lot of action over

:44:29.:44:39.
:44:39.:44:43.

the last two days, it is Clare that was on Lee's wheel. I think Varnish

:44:43.:44:48.

are thought, you know what, she's not going to do it. Lee held her on

:44:48.:44:51.

the shoulder round that was the problem. She was out in the wind

:44:51.:45:01.
:45:01.:45:06.

The Varnish obviously carrying the fatigue. She will now be in the

:45:06.:45:16.
:45:16.:45:21.

whole thing was set up a much further back. These two clearly

:45:21.:45:31.
:45:31.:45:44.

ahead of the rest. Jessica Varnish the final. She wins he'd won.

:45:44.:45:53.

Second-placed Lee from Hong Kong. Jessica Varnish will line up in the

:45:53.:45:58.

minor final. Great Britain still has another chance with Becky James

:45:58.:46:06.

going in the second heat. Becky James, a former junior world

:46:06.:46:16.
:46:16.:46:18.

champion. 20 years of age. Just having the look, it is quite a

:46:18.:46:28.
:46:28.:46:37.

tough line up in her look -- in her heat. It will be hotly contested.

:46:37.:46:45.

You know Keirins, everything can change so quickly. There is

:46:45.:46:53.

Kristina Vogel. On very good form, having won the sprint already. She

:46:53.:47:01.

has so many gold medals. Gold medal in London and Melbourne. Always a

:47:01.:47:04.

danger in these rounds when there's three to qualify it that you start

:47:05.:47:10.

to think, it is just about qualifying. If you go for the win

:47:10.:47:14.

and it does not work out but you finish second or third. If you

:47:14.:47:19.

think about just getting into the top three, that is a dangerous mine

:47:19.:47:29.
:47:29.:47:30.

said. Someone to take the pace from would-be Kristina Vogel, for Becky

:47:30.:47:40.
:47:40.:47:42.

James. James is on the outside. James's right there on the outside.

:47:42.:47:52.
:47:52.:48:06.

And on the inside his Kristina Becky James. There is the woman in

:48:06.:48:16.
:48:16.:48:26.

superb form at the moment, and that being given to Becky James by Jan

:48:26.:48:30.

Van Eijden, the former world champion. The German coach who

:48:30.:48:35.

works brilliantly with the British set up. He instigated a massive

:48:36.:48:40.

change in the British set-up. The British were known as the fastest

:48:40.:48:45.

qualifiers for some years. He brought in a wealth of tactical

:48:45.:48:51.

knowledge. It was a real impetus for the change. Because he is so

:48:52.:48:56.

fit, he still rides, he gets on the track and trains with these riders.

:48:56.:49:06.
:49:06.:49:14.

It has made a huge difference. Kristina Vogel, second wheel.

:49:15.:49:24.
:49:25.:49:25.

Varnish is in a great position. -- Becky James is in a great position.

:49:25.:49:31.

You have got to favour Kristina Vogel, but it Becky can profit from

:49:31.:49:41.
:49:41.:49:56.

her moves. She just needs to be Stretching on to a maximum of 45

:49:56.:50:01.

for that bike. A bit of daylight appearing. There is a ten-metre

:50:01.:50:08.

rule that has been brought into play. It is still quite a lot of

:50:08.:50:18.
:50:18.:50:34.

leeway to be honest. That is to shoulders. They know we are getting

:50:34.:50:38.

to the business end of the contest. We're starting to get moves

:50:38.:50:43.

developing from behind and Becky James has noticed she needs to stay

:50:43.:50:50.

in touch. Coming down the finishing straight, it will be two laps to go.

:50:50.:50:56.

They move us from the French competitor. It looks like she has

:50:56.:51:01.

found herself a spot, she is still in with a good shout. She has found

:51:01.:51:07.

herself a way through on the inside. Becky James going well. She is

:51:07.:51:17.
:51:17.:51:19.

trying to get onto the side of Kristina Vogel. A terrific effort

:51:19.:51:23.

on the line! Third place was James and she will get through to the

:51:23.:51:29.

final. Good riding by Becky James and that sees her through to the

:51:29.:51:36.

final. It was a very committed ride. She did not take any chances.

:51:36.:51:43.

Looked a little bit sketchy, but she found her way through and kept

:51:43.:51:53.
:51:53.:51:54.

driving on the shoulder of Kristina Vogel. Have a look at this

:51:54.:52:04.

acceleration. A a very impressive finish. She used the height on the

:52:04.:52:14.
:52:14.:52:14.

track. Very strong. She almost the snatched it from Kristina Vogel in

:52:15.:52:20.

the end. There was a little coming together, but I don't think we will

:52:20.:52:27.

hear any more about that. Good news, we have got British representation

:52:27.:52:34.

in the final. Becky James was third in that heat and gets into the

:52:34.:52:44.
:52:44.:52:47.

Chris, you call that right for Jessica Varnish. It was a race too

:52:47.:52:55.

many. It has been a great weekend for her, but you could see it in

:52:55.:53:02.

her legs that she did not have the gas to keep up. Although she is

:53:02.:53:07.

extremely motivated to have a great track programme, she has got all

:53:07.:53:11.

that emotional stuff from what she went through at the Games. She is

:53:11.:53:17.

perhaps more tired than she thinks. She was determined to get straight

:53:17.:53:24.

back on the track and into the gym after the Olympics. Time will tell.

:53:24.:53:28.

I think she will keep going until the world champions, and I think

:53:28.:53:33.

she should have a break after that. She has not really come to terms

:53:33.:53:40.

with the fact that she missed out on getting a medal at the Olympics.

:53:40.:53:46.

The time will come for her. She has such ability and commitment. But

:53:46.:53:52.

she has to be patient. Having said that, a great weekend. She has

:53:52.:53:59.

ridden well all weekend. Becky James will be in the final. Talk us

:53:59.:54:09.
:54:09.:54:14.

through how she did. She was a shoulder of Kristina Vogel. That

:54:14.:54:18.

acceleration and forced Kristina Vogel to make a move. She is

:54:18.:54:28.
:54:28.:54:33.

pushing a lot of her own error there. -- her own air there.

:54:33.:54:38.

talked about pushing your own air. What sort of difference does that

:54:38.:54:43.

make in terms of power output? faster you go, the more important

:54:43.:54:50.

their dynamic efficiency is. The power has to increase by the square

:54:50.:54:56.

of the speed. The faster you go, the harder it is with air

:54:57.:55:06.
:55:07.:55:07.

resistance. It is all about air If you are at the front for 2.5

:55:07.:55:17.

laps, it would be very difficult, pushing your own air. Kristina

:55:17.:55:20.

Vogel is looking very strong. The Germans have brought some great

:55:20.:55:25.

form. They have. Have I am surprised they have such a strong

:55:25.:55:35.
:55:35.:55:46.

team in the four year cycle. But it is great that the top guys are here.

:55:46.:55:55.

Max is going very well at the moment. British cycling knows all

:55:55.:56:02.

about getting it right. That is the magic things. It is about one day,

:56:02.:56:06.

up for a two or three days every four years. You have to get it

:56:06.:56:11.

right. It almost does not matter what you have been doing in those

:56:11.:56:16.

four years, it is those days which count. World Championships, World

:56:16.:56:23.

Cups, they are all important that the Olympics is the big one. From

:56:23.:56:28.

springs to endurance now. We will catch up from yesterday. Martin

:56:29.:56:34.

Irvin was very good in the Scratch Race. He has his hands full up

:56:34.:56:44.
:56:44.:56:49.

representing Denmark is Lasse Hansen, the Olympic Omnium champion.

:56:49.:56:58.

He is riding against Martyn Irvine of Ireland. Martyn Irvine it posted

:56:58.:57:03.

a personal best this morning, but he is 1.8 slower than the Danish

:57:03.:57:09.

competitor. It is visibly quicker than the bronze medal ride off, we

:57:09.:57:15.

can see that already. He finished second in the Scratch Race, but for

:57:15.:57:22.

me he got man of the Match award. He Lasse Hansen has started quickly.

:57:22.:57:27.

Such a talented rider. When he won the that Omnium in London he was

:57:27.:57:34.

sensational. He is a former junior Individual Pursuit champion as well.

:57:34.:57:44.
:57:44.:57:44.

He knows how to measure his efforts across the 16 laps. Martin Irvin

:57:44.:57:54.
:57:54.:58:00.

has a lot of work to do. -- Martyn Irvine. He has gone out quick. He

:58:00.:58:04.

is being shown by his coach he is well up on the schedule they have

:58:04.:58:14.
:58:14.:58:20.

set. Maybe he has gone out to quick. Wonderful style by Lasse Hansen. He

:58:20.:58:26.

comes from a town in Denmark which has produced a few great riders. He

:58:26.:58:36.
:58:36.:58:37.

is following in a great tradition. Martyn Irvine is falling back on

:58:37.:58:46.

his schedule. He is not losing any more ground. He might be the one

:58:46.:58:52.

who has pace this well. We will keep an eye on this. The pursued is

:58:52.:59:02.
:59:02.:59:04.

one at the end. You have got to measure your effort. -- per suit.

:59:04.:59:10.

Martyn Irvine starting to lose a little bit of ground. He knows the

:59:11.:59:20.
:59:21.:59:26.

champion seven times. But you were looking at a rider here with a big

:59:26.:59:31.

future, hass freelance and. I feel sure one of the big professional

:59:31.:59:38.

teams will be signing him short leave. He crashed during that

:59:38.:59:45.

Omnium, got back up and dismissed the problem. He is back on his

:59:45.:59:52.

original schedule mouth. Not far to go. He can see the Irishman. Martyn

:59:52.:00:02.
:00:02.:00:03.

Irvine starting to rock and roll a little bit. He really is moving. He

:00:03.:00:10.

is going well. That is three seconds faster at the same point

:00:10.:00:18.

this morning. Clearly he was doing enough to qualify. We could be

:00:18.:00:26.

seeing a sub for 20 here. Bear in mind he has already ridden the heat

:00:26.:00:35.

up earlier today. He is flying. think he could get inside, you are

:00:35.:00:42.

right. It is a strong ride. Martyn Irvine doing well. But he is being

:00:42.:00:52.
:00:52.:00:53.

display of pedalling excellence by the young Dane. Here comes Lasse

:00:53.:00:59.

Hansen, up to the line. Let's look at the finishing time. It's going

:00:59.:01:08.

to be impressive. Just a tad outside of the 4.20 barrier. But he

:01:08.:01:17.

is set another lifetime best. got to be pleased with that. To go

:01:17.:01:21.

two seconds faster in the same day, it is a sign of the form that he is

:01:21.:01:31.

on. Two brilliant rides. 4.22 in qualification, for 0.28 to take

:01:31.:01:39.

gold. Fair play to Martyn Irvine of Ireland, two lifetime bests. He

:01:39.:01:47.

took four off it this morning, now The de omnium, Laura Trott is going

:01:47.:01:57.
:01:57.:02:03.

well. Let's look at the standings perhaps a weakness for Laura Trott.

:02:03.:02:13.
:02:13.:02:15.

line this time, the whole field together in this penultimate event

:02:15.:02:19.

of the women's omnium, the scratch race. We are waiting for the first

:02:19.:02:29.
:02:29.:02:33.

tentative move from the medal becoming a real performer in this

:02:33.:02:43.
:02:43.:02:44.

event. She has been very active in the first few laps. Pawlowska air,

:02:44.:02:48.

of Poland, this will be her favourite discipline. That is where

:02:48.:02:51.

she will be hoping to get a good finishing position. She's currently

:02:51.:02:58.

third. 16 points, just one more than the leading race riders.

:02:58.:03:02.

That's the problem, she is going to be well marked in this event. Which

:03:02.:03:06.

is good, if you are watching. near the back, at the moment. 27

:03:06.:03:13.

laps to go. It's the car before the storm. They are trying to secure

:03:13.:03:18.

their positions before they get to the time trial. Easing back again,

:03:18.:03:21.

nobody wants to show their hand yet. If it carries on like this, this is

:03:21.:03:25.

playing into the hands of Laura Trott, with the time trials still

:03:25.:03:29.

to come. Now, a little attack beginning to unfold. This looks

:03:29.:03:35.

like Sharakova, having a go. Yes, that is Sharakova. Indicative of

:03:35.:03:39.

the style of this Ryder. A very aggressive. Laura Trott goes

:03:39.:03:48.

straight after it. The three key players, well, they are right at

:03:48.:03:58.
:03:58.:04:01.

the head commit yet. A long, thin win, they have to sprint flat out

:04:01.:04:05.

to beat each other, even in the middle of the field. That is our

:04:05.:04:15.
:04:15.:04:19.

first successful attempt at making 23 points. That is a good move, she

:04:19.:04:25.

has the Russian with her. Now, is they go to be a reaction from

:04:25.:04:30.

behind? They have to get on it quickly. These two, a nice working

:04:30.:04:36.

pair. They have a good quarter of a lap leader already. A lot of

:04:36.:04:41.

swinging going at the back. Nobody is committed to the chase. If they

:04:41.:04:45.

just rolled around the bottom, taking small turns, pace would stay

:04:45.:04:54.

high. Nobody wants to bring it on. The Russian, pretty handily placed.

:04:54.:04:57.

You are right, nobody is prepared to bury themselves at the head of

:04:57.:05:03.

the bunch. These two are profiting from it. They've got about a third

:05:03.:05:11.

of a lap. They have enough room, enough alas stick to withstand

:05:11.:05:19.

these flurries. -- elastic. It will be a difficult one to get back.

:05:19.:05:24.

They could finish first and second if they get this lab. 20 laps to go

:05:24.:05:32.

in the penultimate event, in the scratch race. These two are trying

:05:32.:05:39.

to gain a lead. And they are doing it. The Lithuanian and the Russian,

:05:40.:05:44.

they are currently 5th and 6th in the contest. A good move, leading

:05:44.:05:49.

by a lap. Sharakova has attacked as well. She has been allowed some

:05:49.:05:59.
:05:59.:06:08.

rider at the front. Currently 7th in the standings. It's a bit too

:06:08.:06:15.

far, on your Rome. Ryan of Ireland has tentatively gone after her. --

:06:15.:06:19.

on your own. She didn't attack forcefully enough, so she has

:06:19.:06:26.

company immediately. I think she's going to be back in the next few

:06:26.:06:31.

laps. Laura Trott is running a cautious race. She's not expending

:06:31.:06:38.

too much energy. It might just stay the same and the status quo. A good

:06:38.:06:44.

ride. The sprint between them will be critical, absolutely critical.

:06:44.:06:50.

Just one point, so important. tactical affair, we knew that it

:06:50.:06:57.

would be. The bunch is smarting a little bit, having lost that lap.

:06:57.:07:00.

They are not inclined to let anybody else have the same kind of

:07:00.:07:04.

leeway. They are keeping the pace high around the bottom. Laura Trott

:07:04.:07:09.

is getting involved in keeping the pace five. The race hasn't been in

:07:09.:07:13.

an angry mood. We haven't seen several different groups. When they

:07:13.:07:19.

come to do mind it will be 40 more to go. Still, just off the front,

:07:19.:07:29.
:07:29.:07:29.

not going anywhere. Being chased down by the rider from Mexico.

:07:29.:07:34.

Pedestrian pace. She might just trundle away. She has looked over

:07:34.:07:39.

the shoulder, they might be potential for making this work

:07:39.:07:45.

after all. Another reaction from the front of the main field. Again,

:07:45.:07:52.

it's the rider from Mexico having a go. Bridging of to the rider from

:07:53.:07:59.

Spain. That could make all the difference if they get together.

:07:59.:08:05.

They haven't quite got the punch to break the elastic. They had so many

:08:05.:08:15.
:08:15.:08:39.

attacks, the law of averages should the penultimate event in the

:08:39.:08:47.

women's omnium contest. A brace of riders just at the front. Spain, in

:08:47.:08:54.

the white and red. With hair, the Mexican. -- with her. They have had

:08:54.:08:57.

some time to gather themselves. They are working well together.

:08:57.:09:00.

They are getting a little bit more leeway. They are clawing a few more

:09:00.:09:06.

metres every lap. They are up to have a quarter of a lap. The

:09:06.:09:10.

Spaniard is really struggling, not staying on at the wheel. She's

:09:10.:09:16.

paying the penalty for of those laps she spent out on her Rome.

:09:16.:09:26.
:09:26.:09:27.

they stay away, and if Laura Trott leads the way, that will set it up

:09:27.:09:33.

perfectly for the final, providing Laura Trott and Ankudinoff lead.

:09:33.:09:43.
:09:43.:09:46.

think everybody is going to start not going to affected a tall. We

:09:46.:09:54.

had two more going away and that is dangerous. We are going to have to

:09:54.:09:59.

start looking at the main group and look at the two leaders at the

:09:59.:10:05.

moment. That is Laura Trott and Ankudinoff. They cannot leave any

:10:05.:10:08.

daylight between them. Two or three points could make all of the

:10:08.:10:14.

difference in this race. Laura Trott, at the moment, happy to be

:10:14.:10:24.
:10:24.:10:24.

at the back of the pack. And we have the two riders that lead the

:10:24.:10:30.

field. One kilometre to go as they go around. I don't know if they

:10:31.:10:38.

will have time to make the junction. They are chasing down the others.

:10:38.:10:42.

The rider from Finland looks like she is going to retire. She is

:10:42.:10:50.

really struggling. Four laps to go. The Mexican, actually going to

:10:50.:10:55.

close that gap. She's waiting for the sprint. The Spaniard has gained

:10:55.:11:01.

the lap. So, the first four places in this race, the highest that

:11:02.:11:11.
:11:12.:11:18.

Laura Trott can finishes 5th. wind us up at her own pace. Higgins

:11:18.:11:23.

of the United States is on her shoulder. It looks like Sharakova

:11:23.:11:28.

is going to start the sprint. Yes, she's starting the charge for the

:11:28.:11:34.

line. We had two that are clear rows well. Ankudinoff is trying to

:11:34.:11:38.

come past her. Laura Trott is also in the shake-up. These are the

:11:38.:11:48.
:11:48.:11:52.

means that she will have levelled up with Laura Trott. It looked like

:11:52.:12:02.
:12:02.:12:17.

That means that Laura Trott will be behind Ankudinoff, with one race to

:12:17.:12:23.

go. Well, that all happened with just over one lap to go. Ankudinoff

:12:23.:12:27.

was behind Laura Trott. But she just got a little bit boxed in and

:12:27.:12:32.

took the opportunity to come over the top. Laura Trott didn't have

:12:32.:12:40.

time to come back around. Fantastic event. We will wait for the

:12:40.:12:44.

countback. But Ankudinoff now has the advantage over Laura Trott. It

:12:44.:12:49.

if she can beat Laura Trott in the time-trial. Laura Trott is a

:12:49.:12:57.

electric in that Test against the She'll need to be, she now sits two

:12:57.:13:01.

points behind the Australian. She'll need to beat her by two

:13:02.:13:10.

places in order to take the gold Laura Trott, listening to some

:13:10.:13:19.

music and getting ready. A little bit like the Olympic omnium, where

:13:19.:13:23.

she needed to come back and pole to get the gold. This is certainly a

:13:23.:13:31.

strong event for her. There is no doubt she can win the last event.

:13:31.:13:35.

The real question is whereabouts she is good enough to finish. Her

:13:35.:13:39.

destiny is not in her own hands. We shall just have to not worry about

:13:39.:13:43.

what happens. She had to smash it as hard as she can and then see

:13:43.:13:53.
:13:53.:14:06.

riders are preparing for the next Jonathan mentioned, nor the will

:14:06.:14:13.

have to be two places higher. -- just to pick up at point that

:14:13.:14:23.
:14:23.:14:26.

take the time to events, put all that time together and see who is

:14:26.:14:36.
:14:36.:14:44.

the time-trial, that isn't any good. Ankudinoff will win the gold. That

:14:44.:14:48.

is all to come in the final heat, when Laura Trott lines up against

:14:48.:14:54.

Ankudinoff to see who will take the gold medal. The leading time is the

:14:54.:15:02.

French competitor. You can just see here, that time off 36.448. That is

:15:02.:15:12.
:15:12.:15:17.

Laura Trott one the world champion in Melbourne, she finished the time

:15:17.:15:26.

trial with a 35.73. I do not know if she has that kind of pace. She

:15:26.:15:31.

is very quick. A lot of that is because she doubles up with this

:15:31.:15:37.

event because her job is the starter so she spends a lot of time

:15:37.:15:42.

coming out of the gates perfecting that. In this event, it is a huge

:15:42.:15:52.
:15:52.:15:58.

chunk of it. These are the Laura Trott. It is about composing

:15:58.:16:05.

yourself. There she is. She is such an athlete, such a fighter. This is

:16:06.:16:12.

a carbon copy of the Olympics when she looked American a way to make

:16:12.:16:22.
:16:22.:16:22.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds

:16:22.:17:22.

Choosing to go with the pursuit bikes, some of them go with a stand

:17:22.:17:27.

drop handlebar bike. A 30% less power when they get into the same

:17:27.:17:32.

position. It makes an enormous difference over the second a lap.

:17:32.:17:38.

An impressive opening lap. The quickest we have seen so far. Can

:17:38.:17:48.

the Lithuanian back it up? Driving on for the line. Very impressive.

:17:48.:17:52.

And that is a very quick time indeed. She is now the leader in

:17:52.:18:00.

the time trial. She will be pleased with that. A lot of the riders have

:18:00.:18:04.

differing backgrounds in the omnium. Some are sprint orientated and

:18:04.:18:10.

struggle on the distance. Ed Clancy is in that school. The endurance

:18:10.:18:20.
:18:20.:18:26.

riders are not as good in these. three, that time. I wonder if

:18:26.:18:36.
:18:36.:18:42.

the season. She has been otherwise occupied after the Olympic Games. I

:18:42.:18:50.

still think she has it in her legs to get under the 36 seconds mark.

:18:50.:18:56.

Lots of medals celebrations. She has still ridden with tremendous

:18:56.:19:02.

determination and aggression here. So much pride, the world champion

:19:02.:19:06.

wearing the rainbow stripes and it lifts you when you have the jersey

:19:06.:19:16.
:19:16.:19:19.

on. Penultimate heat. Poland against Russia. Poland is lying

:19:19.:19:29.
:19:29.:19:43.

third and Russia in fourth. The yesterday morning in this contest

:19:43.:19:47.

with a one-lap time trial, they have written a points race, an

:19:47.:19:51.

elimination race and individual pursuit, scratch race and now this

:19:51.:20:01.
:20:01.:20:19.

Test against the clock over two Lithuanian. The Russian has a

:20:19.:20:26.

better start by some margin. Inside 28 seconds by Russia. The fastest

:20:26.:20:31.

opening lap so far. Poland are going well as well. A fantastic

:20:31.:20:39.

ride. Incredibly quick opening lap. The answer to question is yes, they

:20:39.:20:49.
:20:49.:20:52.

have gone inside 36. That is the new fastest time, Poland second.

:20:52.:20:56.

That is slightly quicker than the time Laura Trott recorded last year

:20:56.:21:06.

when she got the world title in Melbourne. That is no mean feat.

:21:06.:21:13.

She is on fire, great technique out of the gates. I am not sure anybody

:21:13.:21:21.

will touch that's today, surely not. She has moved up the standings. The

:21:21.:21:31.
:21:31.:21:48.

winning performance to better the time today. It is not necessarily

:21:48.:21:58.
:21:58.:22:05.

about winning a discipline but between them if she is to take the

:22:05.:22:15.
:22:15.:22:26.

title here. If they finished first the announcements have been made

:22:26.:22:29.

consistently so they are right on the case. This will be very

:22:29.:22:39.
:22:39.:22:42.

exciting. The coach has given the final information. She must be, if

:22:42.:22:52.
:22:52.:22:59.

she is to get near the time, around halfway mark. Just one rider has

:22:59.:23:09.
:23:09.:23:20.

gone inside 20 seconds on the first omnium. This is the classic style

:23:20.:23:25.

of Laura Trott. Really working hard to get biggest spinning. She is

:23:26.:23:29.

already ahead of Australia. See the aggression on her face. She

:23:29.:23:34.

desperately wants this. She is giving it absolutely everything. A

:23:34.:23:42.

huge lead at the moment. If it remains like this, Laura Trot will

:23:42.:23:48.

take gold. She is eating up the ground. She buries herself up to

:23:48.:23:58.
:23:58.:24:07.

gold! Sheer aggression. Totally different styles. We see the replay

:24:07.:24:16.

in a moment. The Australian looked like she was starting a pursuits

:24:16.:24:21.

out of the gate. She came out of the gates, the aggression. Look at

:24:21.:24:28.

her face. All smiles. She is such a crowd pleaser. She is a terrier

:24:28.:24:38.
:24:38.:24:46.

when she comes to race around the filling in it for Jo Rowsell. It is

:24:46.:24:51.

paid off. Look up expression. She knows how to do this. It was so

:24:51.:24:56.

important. It is the mark of a champion, performing well and doing

:24:56.:25:06.
:25:06.:25:07.

it on demand. It is all about winning. And not in peak form. She

:25:07.:25:13.

has been celebrating her double gold medals for London. Next year

:25:13.:25:18.

she will take some stopping. She said she was coming to enjoy the

:25:18.:25:26.

racing. She can enjoy that. She loves it. Laura Trott finishes at

:25:26.:25:36.
:25:36.:25:52.

how tight it was at the top. That brilliant ride by Laura Trot sealed

:25:52.:26:01.

the gold medal. Sportingly acknowledged. She recognises the

:26:01.:26:07.

sheer talent of Laura Trot. Another five-star performance here by the

:26:07.:26:12.

double gold medallist from London. The coach's continued to pour

:26:13.:26:18.

congratulations all over her. Six events and she effectively won at

:26:18.:26:24.

by 0.133 of a second. Laura Trot wins the Gold from the Australian.

:26:24.:26:33.

Many congratulations. A champions' performance. A I can't believe it.

:26:33.:26:38.

I am so tired. Are not going to live. I don't even know what I am

:26:38.:26:44.

doing here! I am so tired right now. It is a hard coming back from the

:26:44.:26:49.

Olympics and getting your head around racing again. I am not fit.

:26:49.:26:55.

I came here because of the home crowd. You want to give them

:26:55.:27:00.

something back. To compete in the home World Cup, I wanted to do it

:27:00.:27:06.

and say thank you. I can't believe I won, I really can't! If this is

:27:06.:27:10.

how you perform when you're not fit, everybody had better watch out.

:27:10.:27:18.

Your competitive nature comes out. Definitely. I was sitting there, I

:27:18.:27:25.

was absolutely shattered. I like winning. I did want silver! I liked

:27:25.:27:31.

it when the crowd's cheers me. happens now? I am going to

:27:31.:27:36.

Australia for an insurance scam. I will try to get it. And then come

:27:36.:27:42.

back fighting fit for the world. Congratulations. That was fantastic.

:27:42.:27:49.

Thank you. She says she isn't even fit and she has won! She is taking

:27:49.:27:59.
:27:59.:28:10.

be an even contest. The Russian will probably have the edge. Spain

:28:10.:28:15.

at the front at the moment. The Russian at riding in his trade

:28:15.:28:20.

colours. Not the national colours. They have both been put through the

:28:21.:28:27.

mill. They do not look as attentive as they have previously. The length

:28:27.:28:31.

of the competition is taking its toll. Both of them not hanging

:28:31.:28:41.
:28:41.:28:41.

around. It is always a morale boost to get race won. That is what the

:28:41.:28:50.

Russian will try and do. Looking for the inside position. He did not

:28:50.:28:55.

defend at all there. One lap to go in race one. The Russian in front.

:28:55.:29:04.

It was a weak challenge from Spain that he didn't have the speed. He

:29:04.:29:10.

will not come back from that. Race One goes to the Russians. That was

:29:10.:29:16.

handled astutely. It looked lethargic but the time belies it.

:29:17.:29:26.

It was a quick bit of sprinting. I am not sure his heart was in that.

:29:26.:29:34.

Great work by the Russian. Spain will have to find enthusiasm if

:29:34.:29:41.

they are to take the next one. He is not quite in the league -- same

:29:41.:29:51.
:29:51.:30:01.

I've been waiting for. Wait until these to lock horns. Contrasting

:30:01.:30:11.
:30:11.:30:12.

physiques. The man with muscles on muscles. Look at those legs. He has

:30:12.:30:19.

been in the gym. He missed out on a medal in the Games. The best of the

:30:19.:30:24.

losers, that's the best position. They are still burning with eight

:30:24.:30:34.
:30:34.:30:40.

needs to get some payback after the places, they have still got a point

:30:40.:30:50.
:30:50.:30:53.

to prove. -- Beware the people in of Stefan Boetticher, because he

:30:53.:31:03.

got beaten in the National's by him. And Stefan Boetticher has got a

:31:03.:31:09.

point to prove as well. It should be some real tasty sprinting.

:31:09.:31:19.
:31:19.:31:25.

coming up to the line, there they Boetticher's senior. We mentioned

:31:25.:31:34.

earlier, that Stefan Boetticher has some real wisdom which belies his

:31:34.:31:43.

age. He certainly does. He pointed out earlier, it was your Chris Hoy,

:31:43.:31:46.

they will know each other's every move, because of their training

:31:46.:31:56.
:31:56.:32:02.

other man off-guard. Just trying to outwit his tactical nous. They are

:32:02.:32:08.

so well-matched. I think Forstemann probably has the edge on form. But

:32:09.:32:18.
:32:19.:32:30.

they are so well matched, it is walking pace. They are not allowed

:32:30.:32:38.

to stop more than twice. Just as I say that, we get a standstill.

:32:38.:32:41.

reason they are doing this is that they have so much respect for each

:32:41.:32:48.

other, neither one of them needs to read it out. With their not being

:32:48.:32:55.

many long straights, the need for it has disappeared. They get 30

:32:55.:32:59.

seconds and then the judge will instruct the leading rider to lead

:32:59.:33:04.

away, and if he does not, the races stop. They are not allowed to roll

:33:04.:33:10.

backwards, either. We have seen in the past, sometimes one of them

:33:10.:33:13.

cynically puts the rear wheel against the fence, just sat there,

:33:13.:33:20.

resting. Always pointing down the track, when that happens, so they

:33:20.:33:24.

can get faster acceleration. That's another skill that you almost

:33:24.:33:28.

always point out, they can ride forward, looking backwards. They

:33:28.:33:33.

make it look so natural. Watching the event, you don't even pick up

:33:34.:33:39.

on it. That, in itself, is an incredible earned skill. Forstemann

:33:39.:33:43.

actually got on the inside, then there was a reaction immediately

:33:43.:33:46.

from Stefan Boetticher. I don't know if he wanted that to happen.

:33:46.:33:50.

He tried to regain the initiative. I think that might have been the

:33:50.:33:54.

first mistake that we were talking about. Forstemann is going to lead

:33:54.:33:58.

this one out, goes for a little bit more height. Forstemann is leading

:33:58.:34:03.

it out. Look at the youngster, can he get on to the shoulder of the

:34:03.:34:11.

leader? Yes, he can! He makes it look easy. First blood to Stefan

:34:11.:34:15.

Boetticher. That was very impressive. I think I have to eat

:34:15.:34:23.

my words, on form. He looked very strong. Arguably, he made two

:34:23.:34:26.

errors. He got himself in that position, going into the back

:34:26.:34:32.

straight. There was just over a lap to go. Forstemann threw him some

:34:32.:34:39.

more bait to stop him diving over the top. I thought that might be it.

:34:39.:34:42.

But Stefan Boetticher had superior legs and was still able to go right

:34:42.:34:47.

round the outside. Forstemann teed himself up with different position.

:34:47.:34:55.

This is where they had the exchanges. The sheer arrogance of

:34:55.:35:05.
:35:05.:35:09.

the youngster, he passed him what to slingshot through the slipstream

:35:09.:35:13.

and round the final bend. That extra exhilaration because of a

:35:13.:35:17.

height that he kept. Forstemann suddenly got his race face on,

:35:17.:35:22.

going for the line. But it's a victory to the younger of the two.

:35:22.:35:32.
:35:32.:35:32.

There it is, that remark confirms You called that pretty well, you

:35:33.:35:38.

can come back! I think Forstemann's ride was his ideal ride. He likes

:35:38.:35:42.

to store his opponent, keep in close to him and not let him make a

:35:42.:35:48.

gap. The key point was that Stefan Boetticher gained weight, he kept

:35:48.:35:52.

pressure on the pedals and didn't back off. With a lap to go, he kept

:35:52.:36:00.

that height, created a gap and kept the pace. He had the pace and it

:36:00.:36:04.

made it look easy. That cat and mouse, is that a function from the

:36:04.:36:09.

fact that they know each other so well? It is, but you would be doing

:36:09.:36:12.

the same with any opponent. Forstemann likes to go from the

:36:12.:36:17.

front. They have a lot of respect for each other, but they both know

:36:17.:36:21.

the tactics Inside Out. He's trying to keep in close, he's trying to

:36:21.:36:30.

stall him and keep him as close as possible. He's created the gap,

:36:30.:36:35.

Forstemann has not committed. Stefan Boetticher is at risk of

:36:35.:36:45.
:36:45.:36:46.

being stuck, so he gains some more getting momentum? He has so much

:36:46.:36:49.

more speed, it wasn't easy but in the last 50 metres he was not

:36:50.:36:54.

really struggling. It looked like he sat up by a little bit. What is

:36:54.:36:59.

the dynamic? You had it three years with Jason, what is it like racing

:36:59.:37:09.
:37:09.:37:10.

It's weird, you get it often throughout the air, but at a major

:37:10.:37:14.

event it is very difficult. During the day, you know you are going to

:37:14.:37:18.

end up meeting each other later on, you while warming up together and

:37:18.:37:22.

talking, you are still good friends. When you step onto the track, it is

:37:22.:37:29.

enemies and it doesn't matter who they are. The third gold medal, the

:37:29.:37:39.
:37:39.:37:52.

presenting the bronze medal. The silver medal goes to Ashlee

:37:52.:38:02.
:38:02.:38:09.

and the gold medal winner, the world and Olympic champion,

:38:09.:38:19.
:38:19.:38:33.

representing Great Britain, Laura She's getting quite accustomed to

:38:33.:38:40.

collecting these jerseys. That is the white jersey of the overall

:38:40.:38:50.
:38:50.:38:57.

Actually tying with the Australian and Ankudinoff. The flowers will

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds

:39:41.:40:28.

A smile to melt your heart. Laura Trott, the overall winner will be

:40:28.:40:37.

omnium and the series winner. Balabolina of Russia gets the

:40:37.:40:46.

She's not only a brilliant cyclist, I think she's got the X Factor,

:40:46.:40:50.

that likeability factor. She's become a superstar in a short

:40:50.:40:55.

period of time, which is unusual. She has, particularly in a team

:40:55.:40:59.

with so many big names in there, she has shone in the a team that

:40:59.:41:04.

already has many stars. She has a great future ahead of her. She was

:41:04.:41:09.

admitting that she's not even at full fitness, she can still come

:41:09.:41:13.

and win a World Cup gold medal. I am sure the rest of them are

:41:13.:41:17.

terrified about what she will be like fully fit. She's 20 years old,

:41:17.:41:21.

she could potentially do another four games, if she carries on the

:41:21.:41:25.

way you have carried on. She could end up with a hatful of gold medals.

:41:25.:41:29.

Part of what you have achieved, what Steve Redgrave achieved, was

:41:29.:41:33.

that ability to keep on going, time after time. This is the first time

:41:33.:41:39.

she has done that. Obviously she is young, how do you set out her

:41:39.:41:44.

psychological approach to the sport? She has the gift required to

:41:44.:41:49.

be the best in the world, she already is. It's the desire, people

:41:49.:41:52.

like Sir Steve that go one to win five gold medals, it is beyond

:41:52.:41:56.

physical gifts, it's the mental toughness, the desire to keep

:41:56.:42:02.

working. It's not just about winning once the air, it's a

:42:02.:42:05.

training three times a day, sessions that put you in the state

:42:05.:42:09.

where you are physically sick, your muscles are aching. All sportsmen

:42:09.:42:15.

do this. It is doing that, year after year, there is not a lot of

:42:15.:42:19.

athletes that can do that. That is the key thing, you have to enjoy

:42:19.:42:22.

the day today, as well as winning the medals. I'm sure if she keeps

:42:22.:42:25.

the same attitude, we will be talking about care for many years

:42:25.:42:30.

to come. Let's look at the 500 metres time trial, the event that

:42:30.:42:40.
:42:40.:42:41.

took the gold medal. She beat but she started off potentially

:42:41.:42:45.

going down the route of being a sprinter. So she has a great start

:42:45.:42:48.

out of the box, very aggressive. You can see that she is really

:42:48.:42:53.

quite punchy, compared to the Australian, who is buried smooth

:42:53.:42:58.

and more perceived style. She knew she just had to smash it for two

:42:58.:43:01.

laps and hope it is quick enough to put at least one person between

:43:01.:43:07.

hair and the Australian. Thankfully, her good enough was not good enough.

:43:07.:43:13.

Talk about what Laura is like back in Manchester at the Velodrome. She

:43:13.:43:21.

could be like a pop star, she is a bit dizzy. Clearly, if she's not

:43:21.:43:27.

fit, she has to have a strong mind and work ethic? She's a very driven

:43:27.:43:31.

athlete. It's great to see that in somebody so young, when they are

:43:31.:43:34.

able to enjoy it as well. She doesn't get overawed by the

:43:34.:43:38.

occasion, she doesn't feel the pressure. She certainly doesn't

:43:38.:43:43.

show that, anyway. To play two different roles, in 18 roll, you

:43:43.:43:46.

have the pressure that if you make a mistake then your team suffers as

:43:46.:43:53.

well. She can handle this pressure and she can perform to this level.

:43:53.:44:03.

imagine it is a race too far for her.

:44:03.:44:10.

We will soon find out, let's hope not. They always have a minor final.

:44:10.:44:20.
:44:20.:44:32.

This is classifying the riders from if the two Spaniards actually

:44:32.:44:36.

trying to use the numbers advantage, getting themselves working together.

:44:37.:44:42.

Often, they like to go one and two. Number two leaves a gap that the

:44:42.:44:48.

others have got to close. It's an interesting one, this. Well, Jess

:44:48.:44:55.

Varnish just needs to be a little bit cagey. Try to profit from the

:44:55.:45:03.

moves when the action does unfold. The Russian rider, Elena Brejniva,

:45:03.:45:08.

she tucks in behind that biker. Jess Varnish is third place at the

:45:08.:45:12.

moment. In and out of the saddle, moving the bike around. That

:45:12.:45:16.

discourages others from trying to edge underneath all over the top.

:45:16.:45:26.
:45:26.:46:03.

She is comfortably in third place. Totally different these races from

:46:03.:46:13.
:46:13.:46:48.

the old style way you could push as they go down the back straight.

:46:48.:46:55.

They use the derny bike and then it is all on. -- they will lose the

:46:55.:47:05.
:47:05.:47:26.

derny bike. The formation is themselves out while they fight for

:47:26.:47:36.
:47:36.:47:45.

a bit. There is no chance of a late washed away in last position. It is

:47:45.:47:55.
:47:55.:48:17.

may have snatched third. Yes, third. Netgear set 9th position over all.

:48:18.:48:27.
:48:28.:48:34.

at the back. There is the big effort. It is a long way round to

:48:34.:48:40.

come. It was a photo finish for third, fourth and 5th. This was the

:48:40.:48:50.
:48:50.:49:06.

I am fascinated by Laura Trott. 20 years old, the world at her feet.

:49:07.:49:16.

And how she navigates her way. is the big challenge for her. The

:49:16.:49:20.

lucky thing is she has great people looking after her, coaches,

:49:20.:49:28.

managers, people who have worked with previous athletes. She has the

:49:28.:49:31.

talent and the support, as long as she keeps the desire the future is

:49:31.:49:37.

bright. And that is something you don't know. She might wake up and

:49:37.:49:44.

say she is bought. The Rhys a monotony to it which is not always

:49:44.:49:49.

easy to manage. As long as the rewards and results are there, it's

:49:49.:49:56.

OK. There are some athletes, a train so hard but they don't get

:49:56.:49:59.

the reward they hope for. That is when the motivation becomes an

:49:59.:50:05.

issue. Let's go back out to the track. The final of the Women's

:50:05.:50:15.
:50:15.:50:29.

Keirin. It will be a very juicy Hong Kong. And also the Russian. We

:50:29.:50:39.
:50:39.:50:51.

mentioned earlier they had a long qualifying round. Very interesting.

:50:51.:50:58.

Becky James gets the front position. Kristina Vogel sitting on her wheel.

:50:58.:51:08.
:51:08.:51:24.

That was a game plan be talked for everyone else jostling and

:51:24.:51:34.
:51:34.:51:34.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds

:51:34.:52:28.

front. The upside is you are always taking the shortest route around

:52:28.:52:34.

the track without the constant change of pace. It does have some

:52:34.:52:44.
:52:44.:53:10.

company. A very different race. Everybody is playing the cautious

:53:10.:53:16.

game. That plays into Becky James's hands. She is dictating at their

:53:16.:53:21.

pace. Everybody is letting head to it. France are coming around the

:53:21.:53:29.

outside. Becky James leaving it out. James is fighting hard. Kristina

:53:29.:53:35.

Vogel is leading in down the back straight. We will have the charge

:53:35.:53:41.

also from Panarina. She has left it too late. Kristina Vogel takes the

:53:41.:53:51.
:53:51.:53:59.

for a better race. She had the confidence to know she could wait

:53:59.:54:09.
:54:09.:54:09.

until somebody made a move from the back. I wonder if Becky James could

:54:09.:54:15.

have stuck on the wheel of the journey -- German. It wasn't there

:54:15.:54:22.

for her to live. Kristina Vogel finishes the individual sprint and

:54:22.:54:29.

the Keirin. Second and third over the line. Russia and Hong Kong and

:54:29.:54:34.

Becky James in 5th position. You can realise the Germans are

:54:34.:54:42.

starting to get their act together when it comes to sprinting. As

:54:42.:54:52.
:54:52.:55:13.

Chris Hoy pointed out, they could We saw a tight Jess Varnish, she is

:55:13.:55:21.

with Jill Douglas. -- tired. A busy few days, taking third place

:55:21.:55:24.

in the mind of final. Still looking aggressive and desperately wanted

:55:25.:55:33.

to get into the mix. Yes, one step at a time. After focusing on the

:55:33.:55:37.

Olympics to get Sylvie yesterday I was really happy. And in the keirin

:55:37.:55:43.

it is getting back in there and learning from it. I enjoyed it. It

:55:43.:55:49.

is learning again. And it's all about experience and getting into

:55:49.:55:54.

these races were there sprinting or Keirin. They're such tactical race

:55:55.:56:00.

is that you can only learn by doing them. Nothing is a substitute for

:56:00.:56:05.

actually doing the race. Not at all. I was one of the fastest riders up

:56:05.:56:09.

there, I qualified third and got silver yesterday. If you don't have

:56:09.:56:14.

the tactics, you can't get it right and get stuck on the outside. You

:56:14.:56:18.

end up coming off thinking I didn't do my best but it is tactics.

:56:18.:56:26.

have you learnt? So much yesterday. I did 11 rides yesterday. It was

:56:26.:56:33.

brilliant. Just learning again in the keirin. It all starts here.

:56:33.:56:39.

Australia next year. Yes, on Wednesday a training camp there.

:56:39.:56:45.

Thank you. It has been a good weekend for her. Yes, she should be

:56:45.:56:53.

pleased with her performance. jersey but it is not that simple.

:56:53.:56:59.

The sprint she should be pleased with. Back to the men's sprint.

:56:59.:57:05.

Bronze medal race. The second of the potential three. They have

:57:05.:57:10.

rolled away. The Russian at the front with one victory to his

:57:10.:57:20.
:57:20.:57:26.

lacklustre. They were not sharp or looking to defend the position. I

:57:26.:57:31.

wonder if he has given himself a good talking-to in the break. He

:57:31.:57:35.

needs to really get emotionally into this if he is to have any

:57:35.:57:45.
:57:45.:57:48.

chance was to the Russian has the front. He has a strapping on his

:57:48.:57:53.

leg. Sometimes the aches and strains need managing through the

:57:53.:58:03.
:58:03.:58:14.

competition. It is not affecting something. He has taken the lead

:58:14.:58:22.

and is allowed to do so by the Russian. Now then, can he deny the

:58:22.:58:28.

Russian a 2-0 victory? It is far superior. A right over the top of

:58:28.:58:38.
:58:38.:58:39.

this ban it. The bronze goes to Russia. It was quick and so it

:58:39.:58:44.

should have been. It looked like they were both on the same team, to

:58:44.:58:53.

me! Awesome power from the Russian. The extra distance in the finishing

:58:53.:59:03.
:59:03.:59:15.

straight. When he got the legs beat the second match of the final.

:59:15.:59:25.
:59:25.:59:33.

The Russian acknowledges the crowd. There is the result. We will see

:59:33.:59:43.
:59:43.:59:55.

him later on the page in collecting might be wearing the same jersey

:59:55.:00:03.

but there is no difficulty telling them apart. He really is muscly. He

:00:03.:00:13.
:00:13.:00:35.

was at the front of the queue when as we build up to the final? It is

:00:35.:00:45.
:00:45.:00:46.

setting up a gladiatorial contest, isn't it? It is the elder statesman,

:00:46.:00:56.
:00:56.:01:05.

Foerstemann who is leading off. Dramatic music setting up this

:01:05.:01:15.
:01:15.:01:17.

final. Res two. The men sprint final. Foerstemann has got to win

:01:17.:01:23.

this to take into it a decider. His young opponent, Stefan Boetticher

:01:23.:01:33.
:01:33.:01:33.

was hugely impressive in the first race. Nearly all of the riders

:01:33.:01:37.

choose my advisers to give as little information a way to their

:01:37.:01:47.

opponents. They cannot ride looking backwards. -- they can ride

:01:47.:01:57.
:01:57.:02:02.

upper hand. As Sir Chris Hoy was saying before, the key was not the

:02:03.:02:07.

small errors in positioning, the winning move up for the young

:02:07.:02:12.

German was keeping his height and not taking his foot off the gas no

:02:12.:02:16.

matter what the direction of changes were. He never gave away

:02:16.:02:25.

speed. He kept his height. course, backing up in the second

:02:25.:02:30.

ride you should favour there are younger athlete. He has got there

:02:30.:02:40.

smaller build. Two to go. Foerstemann is a very experienced

:02:40.:02:47.

campaigner. It will not be easy for Stefan, that is for sure. He was so

:02:47.:02:53.

impressive in race one. Are we going to go to three? Or will the

:02:53.:03:03.
:03:03.:03:20.

gold medal go to Stefan better final 200m. That is Olympic

:03:20.:03:28.

standard times. Take a note of the name Stefan Boetticher. He wins the

:03:28.:03:33.

gold medal here. He will take some stopping when he gets to the world

:03:33.:03:43.
:03:43.:03:45.

championships. Have another look at this. He makes it look so easy.

:03:45.:03:50.

Foerstemann, he did everything he felt was correct. It just was not

:03:50.:03:59.

enough. I am just having a quick look at the times set during the

:03:59.:04:03.

Olympic Games. I think that was a faster match sprint than anything

:04:03.:04:10.

we saw in the Games. Incredible acceleration. The closing speed was

:04:10.:04:17.

so impressive. You can see the three-quarters of a lap to go, the

:04:17.:04:24.

speed it was so fast he would cover the distance with comfort. He must

:04:24.:04:30.

have given Foerstemann 15-20 metres there. He was so confident he could

:04:30.:04:40.
:04:40.:04:42.

close down. When you have that slipstream it makes a big

:04:42.:04:47.

difference. The timing and distance is so important. You need to pass

:04:47.:04:56.

in the right place. There is the result confirmed. A great double

:04:56.:05:04.

from the German there, winning the Keirin as well. 250 metres to go,

:05:04.:05:14.
:05:14.:05:15.

10m behind, you just looked at me He got Foerstemann up to full speed,

:05:15.:05:20.

committed. He had a decent gap. And he came past with so much more

:05:20.:05:30.
:05:30.:05:39.

last 200 was, he was on great form. You called it right there. This is

:05:39.:05:44.

what Chris Boardman talks about, this hall in the air. The only

:05:44.:05:48.

saving grace for or Foerstemann there was if he had not accelerated

:05:49.:05:54.

to the line. But he had already reached top speed. Stefan but, on

:05:54.:06:04.
:06:04.:06:06.

the other hand, was accelerating all the way. Kristina Vogel, she

:06:06.:06:16.
:06:16.:06:21.

won the sprint. The Germans have This is the time for the people who

:06:21.:06:26.

may be did not perform at the level they hoped at the Games to come in

:06:26.:06:31.

and feel better about themselves. Obviously, the Germans are always

:06:31.:06:35.

up there. They did not do quite as well as they had hoped at the

:06:35.:06:41.

Olympics. They were hoping to win the men Keirin. They have come here

:06:41.:06:48.

with a strong team, but it is all about the world championships.

:06:48.:06:58.
:06:58.:07:08.

terms of this World Cup, the The women have been doing it this

:07:08.:07:13.

time, haven't they? They have. There is nothing new there. The

:07:13.:07:20.

women are very strong all the time. They have shone together as a group.

:07:20.:07:24.

They have carried their male counterparts through. Some of them

:07:24.:07:34.
:07:34.:07:34.

are having a rest! I feel a bit guilty. Never mind a! Becky James

:07:34.:07:42.

finished fifth in that women's Keirin. Let's hear from her now.

:07:42.:07:46.

You seem to get in a really good position of going into the

:07:46.:07:52.

penultimate lap. But a lot of power coming over your shoulder. Yes.

:07:52.:07:57.

There were some really strong riders. I gave it everything I

:07:57.:08:05.

could. It is all about experience with things like this. Ultimately,

:08:05.:08:11.

that is what you need. Definitely. This is the time to get race

:08:11.:08:15.

experience. Hopefully by the World Championships we will be on form.

:08:15.:08:22.

Hell have you enjoyed the weekend? It has been really good. A hard day

:08:22.:08:28.

of racing yesterday and today. have you made of this Glasgow

:08:28.:08:35.

veladrome and the crowd here? absolutely love it. The Welsh

:08:35.:08:39.

cyclists have been on form and going for that is positive.

:08:40.:08:46.

Definitely. It was really unfortunate that Peter Lewis

:08:47.:08:53.

crashed out yesterday. There are lots of young people coming through.

:08:53.:09:01.

It is looking good. And off to Australia? Yes. I'm looking forward

:09:01.:09:06.

to some sunshine. The women have been winning medals, and the men

:09:06.:09:12.

seem to have been crashing. Ed Clancy, Jon Dibben and Owain Doull

:09:12.:09:20.

are the only three that had not crashed. This was the team pursue

:09:20.:09:30.
:09:30.:09:35.

it goes well it looks simple and well drilled. But that shows you

:09:35.:09:40.

just how wrong it can get. They just touched the wheel on the front,

:09:40.:09:46.

a split second lack of concentration. You do not get a

:09:46.:09:52.

second chance. One of the things Craig McLean talked about when he

:09:52.:09:56.

was here was the dimensions of this track were slightly different to

:09:56.:10:06.
:10:06.:10:10.

Manchester. That is perhaps having an effect? Maybe he was being a

:10:10.:10:14.

little bit kind. There is a difference from this track and

:10:14.:10:23.

London. But everybody here has ridden on tracks similar to this.

:10:23.:10:28.

It does change things very slightly, but it is just a mistake which has

:10:28.:10:38.
:10:38.:10:51.

I am sure one man who will not be panicking is David. Data is really

:10:51.:11:01.

good. It is exciting to have an indoor veladrome in Scotland. What

:11:01.:11:05.

is really exciting about this is that on a day-to-day basis it will

:11:05.:11:10.

provide another sporting facility for Glasgow and Scotland. Hopefully

:11:10.:11:16.

we will see greater numbers of youngsters taking outright cycling.

:11:16.:11:22.

A we have seen some brilliant performances today. Who has caught

:11:22.:11:27.

your eye this weekend? Elinor Barker in tremendous form and the

:11:27.:11:33.

likes of Jon Dibben. Absolutely. I think that was one of the best

:11:33.:11:43.
:11:43.:11:45.

senior debuts I have seen by Elinor Barker. An amazing display. The

:11:45.:11:49.

decision making and the confidence that she had in that final ride, it

:11:49.:11:55.

was quite something. Very like Laura Trott. That is very exciting

:11:55.:12:02.

for us. All the young people who have come into the team, they have

:12:02.:12:08.

stepped up. It is unfortunate the men team crushed, they would have

:12:08.:12:13.

made the final for sure. The average age of the team is so young,

:12:13.:12:22.

the enthusiasm is great for us. We're into another Olympic cycle,

:12:22.:12:28.

you have been through it a few. Is the ambition and desire still

:12:28.:12:34.

there? It has got to be. If it was not, I would have to get out of the

:12:34.:12:40.

job. Every Olympic cycle is different, you cannot compare. You

:12:40.:12:47.

cannot learn, but each one is the start of a new journey. Our

:12:47.:12:52.

challenge is we have a new group of riders, we have real coming up and

:12:52.:13:00.

we need to make these group of riders the best that they can be.

:13:00.:13:10.
:13:10.:13:10.

Rocky times as well, Bradley Wiggins with his crash. The news is

:13:10.:13:19.

that he is doing well, and we have seen Shane here this weekend.

:13:19.:13:25.

was quite a shock, and testing and a worrying time. I am glad to say

:13:25.:13:30.

they are both recovering well. Bradley is back training and he

:13:30.:13:35.

will put some consistent time on the roads. Shane is as tough as old

:13:35.:13:41.

boots, it might knock a bit of sense into him! Cycling has not

:13:41.:13:48.

been out of the headlines since the Olympics. The fall-out from the

:13:48.:13:52.

Lance Armstrong situation has been managed by yourself with the zero

:13:52.:13:58.

tolerance. Where are you with that process? We are pretty clear. We

:13:58.:14:03.

started teams guy with a zero- tolerance policy. We decided we

:14:03.:14:08.

would not recruit anyone with a past involvement in doping. With

:14:08.:14:11.

the Lance Armstrong situation it came to light that we might have to

:14:11.:14:17.

review that. We took some new information, looked at the positive

:14:17.:14:21.

and negative. We made changes where we needed to it and we keep on

:14:21.:14:27.

going. We have a very clear idea where we are going with teams guy,

:14:27.:14:36.

we are not changing tack at all. have been joined by the director of

British cycling and sport. He is going to talk about British plans

:14:41.:14:50.

for the Tour de France. First, Joe was asking about the zero tolerance

:14:50.:14:56.

policy. It has been very depressing for cycling with regards to the

:14:56.:15:02.

Lance Armstrong situation. It has. It is not easy to read the

:15:02.:15:06.

headlines and watch the news reports. All I can say is the

:15:06.:15:11.

rider's feel as if the sport has moved on and as a rider all you can

:15:21.:15:22.

do is win clean. Show other The negative headlines have come

It is strange. It is about Lance Armstrong, 2006, there were issues

:15:34.:15:39.

in the sport, athletes were testing positive and that's why it Team Sky

:15:39.:15:47.

it took the approach of zero tolerance. We don't want any doping.

:15:47.:15:52.

They won the Tour de France and did it clean. That is to be celebrated.

:15:52.:15:56.

It is also about sharing doping doesn't have to be part of the

:15:57.:16:02.

sport. Tour de France is far removed from the track. The track

:16:02.:16:07.

is a different thing. The UCI have come in for a kicking and rightly

:16:07.:16:12.

so but at the same time they must take some credit for getting the

:16:12.:16:18.

support to this stage when we have the British team winning the Tour.

:16:18.:16:23.

I am not the biggest fan of you see I've. They could have made the

:16:23.:16:28.

situation... There are things they could have done and should do in

:16:29.:16:36.

future to help the sport move on. Who knows what the future holds but

:16:36.:16:41.

what we are doing is we are not afraid of naming and shaming anyway.

:16:41.:16:48.

Who would have thought a global icon would test positive and the

:16:48.:16:54.

names and shamed? At least we are doing that. More positive things.

:16:54.:17:00.

We talked a little about British plans to host the Tour de France.

:17:00.:17:08.

Talk us through what it is at the moment. The ultimate idea is to

:17:08.:17:18.
:17:18.:17:19.

bring it back to Britain. Our sport continues to raise its profile,

:17:19.:17:24.

reckless excess and Chris Hoy. We are confident the owners of the

:17:24.:17:27.

Tour de France want to come to Britain are to capitalise on the

:17:27.:17:33.

interest. They saw the Olympics and the road race and we are fairly

:17:33.:17:38.

confident it wants to come back. There are two been saying. One of

:17:38.:17:43.

those bits starts in Edinburgh and goes into England, Wales for a day

:17:43.:17:50.

and back into England. Four days of bike racing. There is also a bid

:17:50.:17:54.

from Yorkshire which I am it's that belief is three days but we don't

:17:54.:18:02.

know much about it. In terms of the timing, when are you likely to know,

:18:02.:18:04.

I presume there are other international bids as well. Yes,

:18:04.:18:10.

there are two or three other countries that are interested. It

:18:10.:18:16.

is a competitive bidding situation. We think the British bid is well

:18:16.:18:20.

thought through, a lot of strong stake holders. It is British, it

:18:20.:18:26.

will reach 50% of the population within half-an-hour's drive.

:18:26.:18:36.

Yorkshire have had a bid in for a while. Will it counts against

:18:36.:18:39.

Britain having competitive bids? It's not good. We met Yorkshire for

:18:39.:18:45.

the first time, we sat down and the obvious position was to appeal to

:18:45.:18:52.

them to join the same bit. I can understand that is not... We have

:18:52.:18:57.

to respect that but we are where we are forced up from a British

:18:57.:19:02.

cyclist perspective, we will be happy if it comes to Britain.

:19:02.:19:06.

as a proud Edinburgh man, it is better to see the Tour de France

:19:06.:19:09.

start in Edinburgh. That's something I never thought I would

:19:09.:19:15.

see. Amazing. I will make sure I am home for their weekend. Let's get

:19:15.:19:23.

back down to Gill tiddlers with Shane Sutton. -- Jill Douglas.

:19:23.:19:28.

busy few days for the team. How happy are you? Extremely. To come

:19:28.:19:34.

off the back of the Games to here, the new talent. A few unfortunate

:19:34.:19:40.

incidents but yes, in general the public is happy, a great venue.

:19:40.:19:47.

Great for us to come here and the results of five. It is about the

:19:47.:19:53.

roads to Rio. We are happy. Some younger talents Canning three but

:19:53.:19:56.

looking at the German scene, there is plenty of talent out there.

:19:57.:20:01.

is what to do with it. We have a great coaching team, good

:20:01.:20:04.

leadership and if you have talents that makes up the three ingredients

:20:04.:20:10.

to win Olympic medals. I think we can do that in four years' time.

:20:10.:20:15.

And to has impressed she specifically? The sprint girls have

:20:15.:20:24.

done really well. With the exodus of Pendleton, Trott is a legend.

:20:25.:20:32.

There is real good quality in Jon Dibben as well. He's impressed me.

:20:32.:20:36.

Look after yourself. Great sea. It's interesting listening to shame

:20:36.:20:42.

and David Brailsford, this kind of they will enjoy putting the puzzle

:20:42.:20:52.
:20:52.:20:53.

together -- Shane Sutton. It is a whole new challenge. It doesn't

:20:53.:20:56.

mean it is the same template for success. You have to assess the

:20:57.:21:01.

challenge and break it down into chunks and set out will stall. It

:21:01.:21:07.

is a partially different team from London. Commonwealth Games coming

:21:07.:21:14.

up. You must be excited. Benny McAskill, a stunt riding is

:21:14.:21:24.
:21:24.:21:51.

involved in promoting the Danny, how are you doing? Good. Can

:21:51.:21:57.

you do this tricks? That was me doing the stunts for him.

:21:57.:22:05.

excited are you and Scotland? massive. The way the whole GBE has

:22:05.:22:08.

embraced the Games, the Commonwealth Games right here in a

:22:08.:22:14.

matter of months, it is a great thing for Sport and Scotland.

:22:14.:22:19.

you would want to be part of it. Absolutely. It is my dream to

:22:19.:22:22.

finish my career here at the Commonwealth Games, whether I can

:22:22.:22:27.

do it are not, who knows? That is the plan. I would decide in spring

:22:27.:22:32.

next year. I would have had enough time to go to Australia, have some

:22:32.:22:38.

training and racing and assess how my body is holding up. And see if

:22:38.:22:45.

there is life in the old dog yet! there is life in the old dog yet!

:22:45.:22:49.

Next year, it is a ride London. It is like the Great North Run. It is
