Good afternoon and welcome to back to our coverage of the World

:00:43.:00:47.

Cycling Championships in Minsk in Belarus. They once saw the British

:00:47.:00:51.

Cycling team win two medals and day to did as well and day three did as

:00:51.:00:55.

well so high hopes for day four. Nothing guaranteed in sport but

:00:55.:00:59.

after the drama of yesterday with Simon Yates and Jason Kenny both

:00:59.:01:04.

taking gold, anything can happen and I'm delighted to say that Craig

:01:04.:01:08.

McLean and Victoria Pendleton are alongside me. It was a mad hour

:01:09.:01:14.

yesterday when they won within 30 minutes of each other. A fantastic

:01:14.:01:19.

points race by Simon Yates, he was very courageous. Completely

:01:19.:01:23.

unexpected, we mentioned it yesterday, he did not have a

:01:23.:01:26.

biography on the British Cycling website, it is a fantastic website

:01:26.:01:32.

but he is so unknown. A definitely has a biography now. In terms of

:01:32.:01:37.

Jason Kenny and the keirin, he looked out of sorts in this

:01:37.:01:41.

championship. The teams Brent did not go so well, not the easiest

:01:41.:01:48.

path to the final. The semi-final was particularly difficult, and he

:01:48.:01:54.

got the last minute reprieve when one cyclist was relegated. A real

:01:54.:02:02.

turn around. He got in the repechage Ellie on. Some times that

:02:02.:02:06.

happens in your favour. Maybe not on that occasion and he found

:02:06.:02:10.

himself boxed in in the semi-final. Victoria, it almost like he got the

:02:11.:02:16.

kick up the pants he needed. Post Olympic Games and win a world title,

:02:16.:02:22.

you did it in 2008/09 and Jason did not look in the mood and that bit

:02:22.:02:26.

of luck turned his mind set. It was a wonderful opportunity to get in

:02:26.:02:31.

there and do a good keirin race, he would have been annoyed about

:02:31.:02:35.

getting boxed in and not getting chance to express how well his legs

:02:35.:02:41.

are going. To get that chance to take it on a second time in a final

:02:41.:02:44.

of the World Championships, you need quite a lot of faith in Jason

:02:44.:02:48.

coming up with the goods. A great day yesterday, now focusing on

:02:48.:02:57.

Becky James already has two bronze medals, she goes for gold a little

:02:57.:03:04.

later on in the women's sprint. Jason Kenny is the Olympic champion

:03:04.:03:07.

in the men's sprint and that black gold medal in the keirin yesterday,

:03:07.:03:15.

who knows what might happen a there? And then Laura Trott is back

:03:15.:03:21.

on track in the omnium. Points race and the elimination race, can she

:03:22.:03:28.

defend his title as well as the team pursuit she did earlier on?

:03:28.:03:32.

Concentrating on the women's sprint, Kristina Vogel of Germany in that.

:03:32.:03:37.

We will look at the semi-final this morning, Vicky, take us through

:03:37.:03:47.

this, coming up to the Bell. Peggy -- Becky died down in the track, a

:03:47.:03:51.

risky bet confident Miniver and it paid off because it caught her

:03:51.:03:54.

unawares and she could not recover from it. It was a great spread by

:03:54.:04:04.

Becky. This was the title you won a year ago, wasn't it? It would be

:04:04.:04:08.

wonderful if Becky took over your crown. Yes, it is a tough event and

:04:08.:04:13.

to go through so many rounds and make minimal mistakes, it is tough

:04:13.:04:21.

and she has taken advantage of her opponent and winning very

:04:21.:04:26.

comfortably. You saw the audacity of that move, but she is building

:04:26.:04:30.

in confidence, she has got these two bronze medals, he has almost

:04:30.:04:36.

come of age. The way she approached that ride, she obviously did have a

:04:36.:04:40.

lot of confidence. It is not a member of the you try if you were

:04:40.:04:45.

not feeling capable of pulling it off, she took it on, saw a gap, did

:04:45.:04:48.

not think twice, she did not hesitate so it goes to show her

:04:48.:04:54.

mindset going into that match. She is really up for it. He is up

:04:54.:04:57.

against Kristina Vogel in the final for the gold medal and the bronze

:04:57.:05:04.

medal, it is Lee of Hong Kong and Chris Boardman is in the commentary

:05:04.:05:14.
:05:14.:05:19.

Kong at the front and the Chinese behind. The Hong Kong rider is the

:05:19.:05:24.

new time trial champion. The winner of Hong Kong's first ever cycling

:05:24.:05:31.

medal, a bronze in the keirin in London last year and the Chinese

:05:31.:05:35.

cyclist won two silver medals, in the keirin and the team sprint.

:05:35.:05:42.

Well beaten in the semi-final, 2-0 by Becky James. Today a lot of

:05:42.:05:52.
:05:52.:05:56.

confidence from that performing overall World Cup winner here in

:05:56.:06:06.
:06:06.:06:07.

both the individual sprint and the experienced competitors on the

:06:07.:06:17.
:06:17.:06:51.

the Hong Kong athlete take the lead needs all the acceleration, it is

:06:51.:06:55.

all about the back straight, this is where the race is won and lost.

:06:55.:06:59.

Look at the acceleration. Will she be able to get onto the shoulder,

:06:59.:07:03.

lost her balance there, nearly collided and it was close on the

:07:03.:07:12.

line but leak took it on the line but it was a fearsome burst of

:07:12.:07:17.

speed down the back straight and then coming off that bank which

:07:17.:07:27.
:07:27.:07:32.

almost salvaged the first match, the Hong Kong athlete hanging on.

:07:32.:07:37.

First time lining up for Becky James, in fantastic form, I would

:07:37.:07:47.
:07:47.:08:11.

match, at the moment happy to trail the German. Becky James was the

:08:11.:08:17.

fastest qualifier, that set the seeding for the competition. She

:08:18.:08:22.

has sailed through the competition smoothly, it must be said. And she

:08:22.:08:28.

was particularly impressive in the way she dispatched the Chinese

:08:28.:08:34.

cyclist in the final, 2-0. Bury confident in the press and raising

:08:34.:08:39.

eyebrows, her own form running into this. That could help has also seen

:08:39.:08:46.

her through this heavy competition she has had so far. Two medals

:08:46.:08:51.

already this week, two bronze for Becky James from the team sprint

:08:51.:08:58.

and the women's 500 metres time trial. 1.5 laps to go. Starting to

:08:58.:09:02.

wind up. The good Hyde, Vogel pulling it down the bottom of the

:09:02.:09:06.

track and Becky James has got the inside line, she is in control with

:09:06.:09:10.

one lap to go. Kristina Vogel left the back door open at there and

:09:10.:09:14.

straight through went Becky James. She is in a great position to take

:09:14.:09:19.

a 1-0 lead in this final. Has he been a threw got the speed to come

:09:19.:09:24.

back? Not quite, 1-0 for Becky James. A great closing sprint.

:09:24.:09:28.

James taking control when Kristina Vogel went very high on the banking

:09:28.:09:37.

with just over a lap to go. Vogel tried to control it but... Although

:09:37.:09:41.

looking about photo finish? It has gone to Kristina Vogel but it

:09:41.:09:51.
:09:51.:10:05.

cannot have been by more than one STUDIO: Going straight back to

:10:05.:10:11.

Minsk now for the second race in a bronze match, Chris and Simon, your

:10:11.:10:13.

commentators. COMMENTATOR: Our result system did

:10:13.:10:18.

initially give that race to Becky James but it swiftly turned on its

:10:18.:10:21.

head so she has to win in a couple of minutes time when they come back

:10:22.:10:25.

out on the track but at the moment we are watching the second match up

:10:25.:10:30.

in the best-of-three race for the bronze medal for between China and

:10:30.:10:40.
:10:40.:11:03.

moment, the more experience of a two. If the Hong Kong cyclist wins

:11:03.:11:10.

this, she will get the bronze medal. Closing all the time and here comes

:11:10.:11:15.

the challenge. Has she got the speed to take it on the line? It is

:11:15.:11:21.

the close but I think she has got it. The Hong Kong cyclist, the

:11:21.:11:27.

flagbearer at London 2012, the 500 metres time trial world champion

:11:27.:11:31.

here earlier this week has another medal to add to her collection. The

:11:31.:11:35.

bronze medal from the women's individual sprint, Guo Shuang

:11:35.:11:41.

beaten 2-0 in the semi-final by Becky James and beaten in straight

:11:41.:11:46.

rides here for the bronze. Nice to see someone having delight in the

:11:46.:11:50.

medals. Fantastic exoneration going into the final banking curve as

:11:50.:11:58.

well, Guo Shuang had their response to that -- fantastic acceleration.

:11:58.:12:08.
:12:08.:12:12.

These competitors see each other a finding herself in the last chance

:12:12.:12:17.

saloon here in this final. So close as you saw in the first ride. But

:12:17.:12:23.

from her point of you, not quite close enough. If somebody said,

:12:23.:12:28.

Becky James, you will go home with a hatful of battles, you will find

:12:28.:12:33.

yourself in the world sprint final then she would have taken your arm

:12:33.:12:38.

off. Fantastic progression she has had. She has had a great week and

:12:38.:12:43.

whatever happens here, he will win her third battle of these World

:12:43.:12:46.

Championships. Bronze in the team sprint, bronze in the 500 metres

:12:46.:12:50.

time trial and she has looked really good in this sprint

:12:50.:12:54.

competition. One move in particular in the semi-final in the second

:12:54.:12:58.

race against Guo Shuang showed real guts and craft as well as pure

:12:58.:13:08.
:13:08.:13:15.

speed. Vogel better known for a team sprint track record. Equal

:13:15.:13:18.

footing in many cases but the German has got the lead at the

:13:18.:13:22.

moment. You are looking at the future of women's sprinting, Anna

:13:23.:13:28.

Meares yet to come back in after having time out and Becky James at

:13:28.:13:31.

21 and Kristina Vogel at 22, this is probably not the last time they

:13:31.:13:41.
:13:41.:13:46.

will meet in a very big important the track. Becky James leading,

:13:46.:13:54.

easing their way into this one, watching each other like hawks.

:13:54.:13:57.

Becky James openly saying that she had a fantastic block of training

:13:57.:14:02.

coming into these championships as she has certainly proved that, with

:14:02.:14:08.

the way she has performed this week. It is a lot of racing form, lots of

:14:08.:14:16.

events have lots of rounds in each of those. When she first came to

:14:16.:14:20.

people's attention, racing for Wales in New Delhi in the

:14:20.:14:23.

Commonwealth Games, silver medal in the individual sprint against Anna

:14:23.:14:33.
:14:33.:14:53.

Meares in the final. But really element of surprise. She wants to

:14:53.:15:00.

take the lead. Kristina Vogel deciding she will not hang around.

:15:00.:15:04.

Becky James has got to pull this race out of the back. She needs to

:15:04.:15:08.

cross the line first to still be in with the chance of a gold medal.

:15:08.:15:14.

Here we go on the final lap. If she has given her quite a lot of rope,

:15:14.:15:19.

she has given herself a wheel to a mat, she is accelerating hard on

:15:19.:15:24.

the outside. She has made it! James makes it on the line, it will

:15:24.:15:30.

go to a third and final decisive right. Excellent sprinting from

:15:30.:15:34.

Becky James to level the World Championship final at 1-1.

:15:34.:15:41.

thought she would do better having the wheel to I'm out. -- to aim at.

:15:41.:15:46.

I think she has the superior acceleration and speed. The last

:15:46.:15:50.

race was a surprise to me, I thought she might have got it but

:15:50.:15:55.

she has kept itself in contention. Becky James a clear winner of match

:15:55.:15:58.

two in the best of three women sprint final, she is still in with

:15:58.:16:02.

the chance of becoming a world the chance of becoming a world

:16:02.:16:08.

champion. That final will be a roundabout six

:16:08.:16:11.

stiff -- 6:15pm, although the schedule seems to be a moveable

:16:11.:16:20.

feast. Both Craigend Victoria were impressed? Definitely, I thought

:16:20.:16:23.

that Kristina Vogel might take the lead, and she did. Playing entirely

:16:23.:16:28.

into Becky's hands. For some reason from the safe position of riding

:16:28.:16:33.

she just came over the top and decided to try to control the race.

:16:33.:16:37.

Becky took advantage, she took a really nice gap and it gave her

:16:37.:16:44.

space to accelerate in the final bend. At that stage, you were

:16:44.:16:50.

saying, get on the fence! And she did. She got some height, she got a

:16:50.:16:55.

lovely gap. She did not panic, she was in the slipstream. She took

:16:55.:17:01.

advantage of the gap and accelerated at such speed. It was

:17:01.:17:05.

pretty comfortable? Yes. At one point she looked like she was

:17:06.:17:10.

struggling. In the first round, Vogel had the benefit of running

:17:10.:17:15.

into Becky's slipstream. I don't think Vogel has the legs to go for

:17:15.:17:20.

it. This next race will be really hard, she looks fatigue. They are

:17:20.:17:24.

different in terms of stature, Becky might have more endurance?

:17:24.:17:29.

Becky is very fit at the moment, she has lost a lot of weight, she

:17:29.:17:33.

is more lean, it has helped her in terms of the insurance side. She

:17:33.:17:37.

has backed up these rights very successfully and she looks in the

:17:37.:17:41.

best shape, physically, I've ever seen her, and she feels it, you can

:17:41.:17:47.

see it. What should she do in raise three? Ideally a carbon copy of

:17:47.:17:52.

that one. Bogor will probably revert back to the -- to the tactic

:17:52.:17:56.

which work for her in the first place, it will be a tussle.

:17:56.:18:03.

Advantage Becky? I think so. In a race like that, Vogel just gave it

:18:03.:18:07.

away. She made a bad decision, Becky reacted and made the right

:18:07.:18:13.

decision, she took the gap and the height and played it perfectly. She

:18:13.:18:17.

will think, what can I do? I tried to control it and Becky still won.

:18:18.:18:24.

I think that he will be in a strong position. She has put her neck,

:18:24.:18:31.

line! I'm very confident. -- put her neck on the line.

:18:31.:18:35.

Let's catch up with the men's sprint, Jason Kenny going in this.

:18:36.:18:45.
:18:46.:18:50.

This was his match against Webster Kenny is near as the camera. Held

:18:50.:18:58.

up by Iain Dyer. Jason Kenny, the new world keirin champion. The

:18:58.:19:06.

winner of three Olympic gold medals already at the age of just 24.

:19:06.:19:09.

Facing him in his quarter-final, Sam Obst of New Zealand, the

:19:09.:19:16.

national champion of New Zealand, triple world junior champion in

:19:16.:19:21.

2009 -- Sam Webster from New Zealand.

:19:21.:19:25.

We must take into consideration that they have several sprint

:19:25.:19:29.

competitions under their belt -- under their belt, the team sprint,

:19:29.:19:37.

the keirin, all of them containing runs. Jason looks better and better

:19:37.:19:42.

as this World Championship goes on. He certainly does. He was the 7th

:19:42.:19:48.

fastest in the qualifying ride this morning, but as you were saying, he

:19:48.:19:54.

has improved as the day went on, just as he did yesterday. Very

:19:54.:20:00.

closely run in the 8th final, the last round. A good match with the

:20:00.:20:05.

German, it went to a photo finish, Jason Kenny just edged it. A really

:20:05.:20:13.

good sprint between them. They're just coming round to the

:20:13.:20:20.

two laps to go board. We might see some more pace injected into this

:20:20.:20:29.

race soon. Webster might find this difficult from the back position.

:20:29.:20:39.
:20:39.:20:39.

He beat the Spaniard in the last round. Jason Kenny was the world

:20:39.:20:49.
:20:49.:20:53.

champion in 2011. Jason Kenny is trying to draw

:20:53.:20:58.

Webster down to the bottom of the track. Kenny takes the bell and is

:20:58.:21:03.

in control as Webster tries to close the back -- the gap. Jason

:21:03.:21:10.

Kenny needs to respond. Tight on the inside line, very close. Sam

:21:10.:21:20.
:21:20.:21:22.

Webster tapes it -- takes it and Leeds 1-0. A slightly surprising

:21:22.:21:32.
:21:32.:21:40.

result. Webster wrote superbly. -- Jason Kenny is in the last-chance

:21:40.:21:47.

saloon, he needs to win the next heat. Jason Kenny has to win this

:21:47.:21:52.

race against Sam Webster. Webster is one-0 up in this best of three

:21:52.:21:59.

quarter-final. Jason Kenny already with the gold medal. That was from

:21:59.:22:06.

the keirin. He has to perform here and now if he wants to maintain an

:22:06.:22:10.

interest in the individual sprint competition. A great opportunity

:22:10.:22:19.

for the youngster, Sam Webster, to ride against the Olympic champion.

:22:19.:22:22.

What an experience he had done the previous round, a very sharp

:22:22.:22:28.

acceleration down the back straight. They are both doing very, very well

:22:28.:22:36.

in this competition. Jason Kenny proofing and the keirin

:22:36.:22:44.

final yesterday that he has the speed. No finesse here, they are

:22:44.:22:54.

accelerating already with two laps to go. Webster is keen to make it

:22:54.:22:57.

difficult for Jason Kenny to know which side to pass. Kenny is

:22:57.:23:01.

keeping his height for the acceleration. Webster knows what he

:23:01.:23:06.

is doing. Going for a long way out before the bell, Jason Kenny has

:23:06.:23:12.

some catching up to do. Sam Webster leading the way. Here comes Jason

:23:12.:23:19.

Kenny closing the gap. Not closing the gap nearly enough. 2-0 in the

:23:19.:23:25.

quarter final. 10.1 seconds from the front, not from the top of the

:23:25.:23:32.

Bank, that is very quick Paul Webster. We shouldn't underestimate

:23:32.:23:36.

what Jason Webster was up against, that was a world-class sprinter by

:23:36.:23:44.

any standards. Fantastic sprinting from Webster, the new sprint

:23:44.:23:54.
:23:54.:23:54.

champion of New Zealand. Making his mark among the seniors. Webster

:23:55.:23:59.

making light work of that straight through. Straight through to the

:23:59.:24:09.

Jason Kenny out at the quarter- finals, what did he do wrong?

:24:09.:24:13.

Nothing that would have made a difference. Webster just looks the

:24:13.:24:17.

superior athlete at this point. Jason was tired, he had no control

:24:17.:24:23.

after the keirin, he could have had a bad sleep. Webster has had a day

:24:23.:24:31.

off, he will be fresher. Tactically, Jason was OK, I think. In the

:24:31.:24:36.

second round, Webster got a real jump on him? He just looked like

:24:36.:24:40.

when he accelerated it was with such force, it was such a dynamic

:24:40.:24:45.

race, he really wanted it. I think Sam Webster really wanted to put

:24:45.:24:50.

Jason away in the second rider and be done with it, he did a great job.

:24:50.:24:56.

Sam just looked in fantastic shape. Perhaps for Jason, a gold medal in

:24:56.:25:02.

the bag, it felt as Little -- it felt a bit like, job done? From my

:25:02.:25:06.

personal experience, once you have won one title, maintain and that

:25:07.:25:11.

momentum through the competition day after day is really difficult.

:25:11.:25:15.

Maybe you just was not in the right shape to date coming into the

:25:15.:25:20.

competition. Overall, I think Jason will come away from the

:25:20.:25:23.

championships feeling he has moved on from the Olympic hang over that

:25:23.:25:32.

we talked about for so many cyclists? A clear line drawn?

:25:32.:25:36.

Coming back into a world championships after an Olympic

:25:37.:25:41.

Games is a real reality check when all visit and you have three riders

:25:41.:25:45.

per nation and they are all really good quality. It makes the whole

:25:45.:25:50.

competition, from the early rounds, so much harder. The men's omnium

:25:50.:25:59.

reaches its conclusion today. The Britain was 12th over night. We can

:25:59.:26:03.

now look at the individual pursuit now look at the individual pursuit

:26:03.:26:10.

and the scratch race. Jon Dibben began the on the month -

:26:10.:26:17.

- omnium had daytime good enough for fit place. Glenn O'Shea and

:26:17.:26:24.

Lasse Norman Hansen led the way. The New Zealander was the fastest,

:26:24.:26:29.

meaning that after four events, Glenn O'Shea lead. In the

:26:29.:26:34.

penultimate event, the scratch race, Dibben teamed up with a Belgian to

:26:34.:26:38.

gain a lap on the rest of the field. The 19 year-old from Southampton

:26:38.:26:45.

earned just one point. Gate came home in 5th, one better than O'Shea,

:26:45.:26:55.
:26:55.:26:59.

meaning the Antipodean pair are Great job from Jonathan Dibben. The

:26:59.:27:05.

final event of the omnium is the kilo. Once again, Simon and Chris

:27:05.:27:15.
:27:15.:27:16.

time trial in the men's omnium, a few riders to go before we see Jon

:27:16.:27:25.

Dibben. We are looking at the Ukrainian rider at the moment.

:27:25.:27:29.

Sorry, he has just finished, it is the rider from Kazakhstan and the

:27:30.:27:35.

one from Belarus, they are out on the track, they go in pairs, four

:27:35.:27:40.

laps of the track. A quick word about Jon Dibben, he was fit in the

:27:40.:27:45.

omnium in Glasgow earlier in the winter, that was his senior World

:27:45.:27:51.

Cup debut. He has come back up through the standings. The longer

:27:51.:28:01.
:28:01.:28:02.

it has gone on, the better he has fared? He is flying, he won the

:28:02.:28:06.

scratch race. He really is getting better and better. He has acquitted

:28:06.:28:11.

himself extremely, extremely well. Great experience for him. They're

:28:11.:28:16.

going reverse order, so the riders bottom of the overall standings

:28:16.:28:22.

going first, the medal contenders will be the first out. So the rider

:28:22.:28:26.

from the Czech Republic has set the fastest times so far, but by no

:28:26.:28:29.

means is he likely to be near the top of the leaderboard when we come

:28:29.:28:33.

to the end. But just because you are near the back overall does that

:28:33.:28:36.

necessarily mean you will do a bad time in this event, it might be

:28:37.:28:41.

your speciality. Absolutely. They are very respectable times when you

:28:41.:28:46.

consider that this is the 6th event in this competition, they have been

:28:46.:28:56.
:28:56.:29:04.

Kazakhstan. They are coming up to the end of their right. The

:29:04.:29:07.

Kazakhstan was 5th in the tour of Vietnam last year, he rides on the

:29:07.:29:14.

road as well. He got a bronze medal from the Asian Championships but he

:29:14.:29:18.

is well down the overall standings. A you mention them riding on the

:29:18.:29:22.

road, these days they will go through the winter track season and

:29:22.:29:26.

you would think that they might be on holiday now, but lots of them

:29:26.:29:30.

will take up their position with their professional or semi-

:29:30.:29:33.

professional teams and start doing there full road season, it is a

:29:33.:29:37.

full-time job. I think people are treating the omnium differently

:29:37.:29:43.

these days now it is part of the Olympic programme. A Olympic medals

:29:43.:29:48.

are becoming more and more valuable, commercially as well with the

:29:48.:29:52.

global media. There is a lot more sponsorship available for these

:29:52.:29:58.

athletes. It just becomes more and more professional as people try to

:29:58.:30:02.

win. We used to see riders riding on the road and dropping to the

:30:02.:30:12.
:30:12.:30:30.

track for a few weeks, now it is Switzerland racing now. -- madison

:30:30.:30:36.

champion. The French cyclist has been entertaining us over the past

:30:36.:30:46.
:30:46.:31:06.

24 hours, third place in the points week, the one kilometre race, just

:31:06.:31:10.

four laps of the track but the hardest laps you could ever think

:31:10.:31:16.

of. They were absolutely in bits and the speed difference from third

:31:17.:31:21.

to last lap was something in the region of 10 kilometres of our, so

:31:21.:31:26.

much damage can they do. These guys are more endurance-based, they do

:31:26.:31:32.

not have as much. They do not die off too much towards the end.

:31:32.:31:38.

Italians started reasonably well in this, -- the Swiss, but he

:31:38.:31:44.

struggled in the points race. 16th in that, he lost a lot of ground at

:31:44.:31:54.
:31:54.:32:07.

there in the bunch races but he lap. He rode the advantage.

:32:07.:32:13.

One of the big problems with the omnium, it is timing. Within any

:32:13.:32:17.

given championship. We might have expected Ed Clancy to be riding

:32:17.:32:22.

this, he has had success in this, he won the bronze medal in the

:32:22.:32:26.

London Games but not taking part here. I don't think aid can

:32:26.:32:33.

consider himself a specialist. -- added that Ed Clancy can consider.

:32:33.:32:39.

He ended up becoming world champion and the slot that naturally went to

:32:39.:32:43.

him, but his first love was always the team pursuit which he

:32:43.:32:52.

prioritised and on this occasion, he chose to give the opportunity of

:32:52.:32:56.

experience to a young rider to try these events for the first time.

:32:56.:33:00.

They say this is not about winning primarily for the British team, it

:33:00.:33:05.

is about giving riders a chance, a potential squad for Rio.

:33:06.:33:12.

retract has also said, she is an Olympic and the world champion in

:33:12.:33:17.

the omnium, she does not specifically prepare for that but

:33:17.:33:23.

she is able to prepare on the back of that. The skill set is there,

:33:23.:33:26.

they are highly skilled riders and they have lost a tactical training

:33:26.:33:31.

early in their training and wants that is in the back, you can

:33:31.:33:35.

continue focusing on the physicality in the team pursuit --

:33:35.:33:43.

in the bag. The Spaniard will be next out of the starters gate. The

:33:44.:33:48.

European champion at the omnium, third in Glasgow on the other side

:33:48.:33:54.

of the track as the clock continues to take away and up against Hong

:33:54.:34:01.

Kong. Four national titles and a European crown to his name, at

:34:01.:34:04.

there is the cyclist from Hong Kong who was the World scratch race

:34:05.:34:10.

champion in 2011. And the road race champion of Hong Kong as well. A

:34:10.:34:20.
:34:20.:34:41.

rider who likes to switch from the seconds, they are very respectable.

:34:41.:34:51.
:34:51.:34:55.

I one -- a 1:two seconds but is a the other side of the track, they

:34:55.:34:59.

are not strictly racing against each other, it is a way of getting

:34:59.:35:08.

through the field more quickly. wind is still circulating when you

:35:08.:35:15.

come round. The conceit is that into head for the Spaniard -- you

:35:15.:35:23.

can see it is starting to hurt. They will not come top of the

:35:23.:35:27.

leaderboard, the Spaniard is the 5th fastest and Kwok, back in 8th

:35:27.:35:31.

place, they will both finish considerably lower than that once

:35:31.:35:36.

the favourites have been out. But we are heading towards Jon Dibben

:35:36.:35:44.

of Great Britain, he will be in the next pairing. The Belgian rider in

:35:44.:35:54.
:35:54.:35:55.

the other place. Jon Dibben will be on the track shot live. The --

:35:55.:36:04.

shortly. Well-paced and considered ride, following his progressive

:36:04.:36:10.

trend of the past 24 hours. Absolutely. 19 years of age, he was

:36:10.:36:14.

19 earlier this month in the Olympic Academy programme, at a

:36:14.:36:19.

silver medallist in the omnium last year at here he is in the senior

:36:19.:36:29.
:36:29.:36:37.

might not himself up a couple of places. See him perhaps going

:36:37.:36:42.

towards faith but we have a superb ride for him. So much talent in the

:36:42.:36:45.

British squad. That will be interesting to see which way Jon

:36:45.:36:48.

Dibben does as he moves forward, whether he concentrates on the

:36:48.:36:54.

track or the road because he was 5th in the world junior road race

:36:54.:36:57.

championship last September that he was in the mixed right at the end,

:36:57.:37:01.

in the sprint for the line so potentially could have success on

:37:01.:37:07.

the road. What of precedent as well with Bradley Wiggins, Geraint

:37:07.:37:17.
:37:17.:37:22.

would not be surprised if this is the fuss that we have seen today.

:37:22.:37:30.

De Buyst is a team pursuit cyclist as well for Belgium. Nice and clean

:37:30.:37:35.

into position for Jon Dibben. fastest so far out of those who

:37:35.:37:42.

have been out on the track. A looks like he is in a good position.

:37:42.:37:48.

John didn't gain some ground? 11th in the flying lap, 9th in the

:37:48.:37:51.

elimination, 5th in the individual pursuit and winner of the scratch

:37:51.:38:01.
:38:01.:38:08.

trend. He has slipped back. Dibben must dig deep for a few

:38:08.:38:12.

seconds here and then his omnium will come to a close but it has

:38:12.:38:19.

been a solid performance from him. Up to the line now, it was

:38:19.:38:29.
:38:29.:38:31.

consistent. All the way through. Gives him third place. A third

:38:31.:38:41.
:38:41.:38:45.

place for the Belgian, the Swiss minute of pain ahead of him at that

:38:45.:38:55.
:38:55.:39:03.

particular point. A minute from the this particular time, this is just

:39:03.:39:13.
:39:13.:39:15.

for the kilo time trial. De Buyst up into third. Jon Dibben his 6th.

:39:15.:39:21.

We are looking at the Russian cyclist here. Not really on the

:39:21.:39:29.

form we have seen him in the past, he has done himself well in the

:39:29.:39:33.

competition so far but I don't think he is quite the best we have

:39:33.:39:43.
:39:43.:39:43.

seen him in. He can also write a good kilometre. Artur Ershov ended

:39:43.:39:47.

up falling off early in the ride, he was going up the top of the

:39:47.:39:53.

banking and came a cropper and very quickly Russia were down to three.

:39:53.:40:03.

Just one more heat now until we have got the medal ride. Tim, the

:40:03.:40:07.

vastly more experienced rider in the bright orange. A World

:40:07.:40:10.

Championship silver medallist, he has won a bronze in the past as

:40:10.:40:16.

well. Outside the medals this time, 5th at the start, Artur Ershov is

:40:16.:40:25.

sixth overall. Very different styles there. A bit shaky, it will

:40:25.:40:30.

taking a while to get into his stride. Tim really got into his

:40:30.:40:36.

stride in the elimination race, and he won that. A third fastest there

:40:36.:40:40.

so he is riding true to form and he looked very comfortable in

:40:40.:40:44.

possession there as he drives round his second lap. Tim is looking

:40:44.:40:52.

strong, still the fastest, stirring no sign of tying up so far. I think

:40:52.:41:00.

we will see a new leader here. He looks well in control. Tim takes

:41:00.:41:05.

the bell and still has the fastest time. With just four riders to come

:41:05.:41:15.
:41:15.:41:15.

after him. Starting to tie up a bit now. It will be really higher --

:41:15.:41:25.

hurting now. He is the new leader. That will be tough to beat. 3.2 is

:41:25.:41:35.
:41:35.:41:35.

very respectable, he will be tough to beat. Tim, a picture of

:41:36.:41:39.

determination right from the opening and he set the fastest time

:41:39.:41:44.

throughout. Great technique out of the gate. More of a sprinter.

:41:44.:41:49.

People have come at this event from different angles. Some are fast in

:41:49.:41:53.

the final lap and a kilometre time trial and survive in the longer

:41:53.:41:57.

event. Tim is one of them, he has the best of power and can get it

:41:57.:42:03.

all out. The one kilometre was always one of his favourite event.

:42:03.:42:09.

Tim goes to the top of the leaderboard and the Swiss rider it

:42:09.:42:12.

nudged down into second place. Almost one second in between them

:42:12.:42:19.

in terms of the time. This is Lasse Hansen from Denmark. Really

:42:19.:42:25.

exciting talent. The Olympic champion. These riders have got

:42:25.:42:31.

such an enormous lead between third and 4th. Lasse Hansen has 19 points,

:42:31.:42:39.

and Lucas Liss has 33 so a huge buffer so this is a question of can

:42:39.:42:49.
:42:49.:42:50.

Lasse Hansen overtake? Lasse Hansen won the bronze medal in the World

:42:50.:42:54.

Championships last year, that is where he is now, two points behind

:42:54.:42:58.

the gold medal positions. He had a bad ride in the elimination races

:42:58.:43:03.

and drop a few points. So important to be consistent. No sure if he ran

:43:03.:43:10.

out of steam or just got it wrong tactically and was caught out.

:43:10.:43:15.

Lucas Liss, every German start there really skilled out of the

:43:15.:43:21.

gate but Lasse Hansen is sharp and wiry. Lucas Liss is absolutely

:43:21.:43:28.

flying, the German rider. They have high hopes of a podium finish for

:43:28.:43:34.

him back in Germany. He wants to finish in style. They are very

:43:34.:43:39.

strong start but very expensive with energy. He is still in first

:43:39.:43:44.

position at 500 metres. Will he still be in the lead at 750? He won

:43:44.:43:53.

the omnium in the world event in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome. Lucas

:43:53.:43:57.

Liss must hang on for one more lap, starting to feel it but not slowing

:43:57.:44:03.

too much at all, to be honest. Lasse Hansen third fastest, did he

:44:03.:44:07.

have a lot left in the tank, he had lots left in the tank. That was a

:44:08.:44:12.

great lap. A stunning ride from the Danish rider and the Olympic

:44:12.:44:17.

champion stamping authority over this kilometre time trial. A both

:44:17.:44:19.

riders under one minute and three seconds and I thought somebody

:44:19.:44:25.

might slip under but to go under by a fall half a second, that is

:44:25.:44:29.

astonishing and all done in the closing laps. They did not slow at

:44:29.:44:34.

all. A respectable start, Lasse Hansen and then he just did not

:44:34.:44:38.

slow for the remainder of the race. I have to say, at the end of a

:44:38.:44:43.

competition like this, a superb ride from Lasse Hansen. He is not a

:44:43.:44:47.

specialist at this in particular, he rides on the road and has a bit

:44:47.:44:54.

of everything. It was very good riding from him. We have got the

:44:54.:45:04.
:45:04.:45:14.

one final pairing to go in the He is the team pursuit bronze

:45:14.:45:19.

medallist from the London Olympics. And there is the defending champion,

:45:19.:45:24.

Glenn O'Shea from Australia. O'Shea did not win a single event last

:45:24.:45:29.

year but he finished 6th or better in every single one of them, which

:45:29.:45:34.

led to him taking the world title. They are level on points, so if

:45:34.:45:39.

they were to finish this event on the same points, they take all of

:45:39.:45:46.

that time events, the flying lap of the one kilometre and the pursuit,

:45:46.:45:50.

they pull that amount of time and it is whoever has the shortest time.

:45:50.:45:56.

Gate has a four-second buffer, so if it finished equal times he would

:45:56.:46:02.

only -- almost certainly be ahead of O'Shea. O'Shea is normally

:46:02.:46:06.

better in the kilometre, but Aaron Gate is better in the individual

:46:06.:46:12.

pursuit. Oh, there is a technical issue with O'Shea's bike. He has

:46:12.:46:16.

got his hand in the air, he has indicated a problem. Now, if

:46:16.:46:21.

possible, Aaron Gate needs to keep going, but O'Shea is going very

:46:22.:46:26.

slow. Gate will continue his right. It is fully committed, there was no

:46:26.:46:29.

way he would pull out, he would have been blissfully unaware of

:46:29.:46:33.

what was going on elsewhere with no gun and no indication from any

:46:33.:46:38.

officials that he needed to stop, he has to maintain focus. This will

:46:38.:46:42.

make it quite interesting. It has really screwed up the electronic

:46:42.:46:46.

timing but he is in first position according to the timing at 750

:46:47.:46:51.

metres, so this is a fantastic performance by the New Zealander.

:46:51.:46:59.

Will this right taken to the world title? What a fantastic white, won

:46:59.:47:08.

her 2.271, the fastest man in the field, Aaron Gate from New Zealand.

:47:08.:47:15.

-- 102.271. He should get another start now. If you have a mishap at

:47:15.:47:21.

the start, you must stop at na lap. I don't think that means physically

:47:21.:47:25.

stop, because they have no brakes, but indicates that you will not

:47:25.:47:33.

continue, so he should get a restart. But 102 from two is a big

:47:33.:47:43.
:47:43.:47:44.

target. O'Shea won in 102.9, that was when he was fresh. Even if the

:47:44.:47:48.

match that it would only be good enough for third or 4th place in

:47:48.:47:54.

this event. He needs a PB by some distance. Gate is the man to beat,

:47:54.:47:59.

I can't see anybody toppling him, he has been incredibly consistent

:47:59.:48:03.

through the competition. What do you think was wrong with O'Shea's

:48:03.:48:08.

like? I think he might have pulled the wheel over. The wheel is not

:48:08.:48:14.

going around very well. Straight away, the commissar is coming to

:48:14.:48:22.

supervise, to make sure... They are saying there is no problem at all.

:48:22.:48:27.

I think some of the lamb and it might have come off, the sides of

:48:27.:48:32.

the discs came unstuck. It looks like they will give him the

:48:32.:48:38.

opportunity to restart. A faulty wheel seems to be the issue. He was

:48:38.:48:42.

lucky he could keep riding and keep out of the way of Aaron Gate.

:48:42.:48:47.

still has the chance to White, it certainly looks that way, then his

:48:47.:48:52.

reign as world champion will last for another couple of minutes --

:48:52.:48:58.

still has the chance to ride. He definitely has a restart. O'Shea

:48:58.:49:02.

had that mechanical issue but he has been given a restart. He has

:49:02.:49:05.

acted all the way through as if he knew that he would get that, we

:49:06.:49:10.

have been waiting for confirmation from the officials. Glenn O'Shea

:49:10.:49:14.

needs to compose himself for more time. It is not easy for him, he

:49:14.:49:20.

got emotionally and physically ready for one moment. But this is

:49:20.:49:23.

what makes a champion, you have to deal with these things, learned to

:49:23.:49:27.

put all the thinking to one side and just deal with what is in front

:49:27.:49:35.

of you. Their gate is being taken out onto the track, so it looks as

:49:35.:49:42.

though they will give him a restart immediately. He is still in the

:49:42.:49:51.

home straight. His bike is ready to go. It is just him that needs to

:49:51.:50:01.
:50:01.:50:11.

completely disintegrate, it was in a tandem at the time and it was

:50:11.:50:18.

incredible that the British pair kept going, there were bits on the

:50:18.:50:22.

track everywhere, they were finding it embedded in the track. It just

:50:22.:50:27.

shredded, didn't it? In the end, there was no real let-down they

:50:27.:50:34.

toppled over. It must out been very frightening for them -- there was

:50:34.:50:39.

no wheel left. It shows how perceptive they are, he just felt a

:50:39.:50:44.

bit of spending us. The bonding comes away from the rim. It could

:50:44.:50:54.

have been catastrophic. He was fortunate. Another issue here, he

:50:54.:51:01.

is not happy. It looks like the wheel has been clamped not fully

:51:01.:51:06.

straight on the track. You can feel instantly that the bike is leaning

:51:06.:51:11.

to one side. It is not his day. This is what you don't need at a

:51:11.:51:14.

vital moment in the World Championship when you are currently

:51:14.:51:20.

in silver medal position. He is in the same number of points as Aaron

:51:20.:51:24.

Gate, but it now seems to be going from bad to worse. What has

:51:24.:51:28.

happened? Has he decided he will not ride or have they actually

:51:28.:51:38.
:51:38.:51:38.

decided it for him? He will either not be able to write -- rider, or...

:51:38.:51:43.

I can't believe they need to get a new start his gate. There is a

:51:43.:51:47.

technical problem, I think they will give them a few minutes.

:51:47.:51:50.

Unless they can sort it instantly, they will give him a break or move

:51:51.:51:57.

on with the programme? He seems quite composed. Maybe we will see

:51:57.:52:02.

Glenn O'Shea later. There is Aaron Gate, the New Zealander. His work

:52:02.:52:06.

is done, he must be feeling reasonably confident. O'Shea will

:52:06.:52:10.

have to do the right of his life to will on all that kind of time.

:52:10.:52:16.

has been so consistent, he won the flying lap, he did OK, he picked up

:52:16.:52:26.

eight points. His consistency will surely taken to the gold medal? I

:52:26.:52:30.

think it looks as if the Australian will be given a little bit more

:52:30.:52:34.

time. He is not reacting like somebody who has been told he will

:52:35.:52:40.

not be able to write, but he will no doubt be glad of the little

:52:40.:52:49.

extra rest before he heads out for We understand that he will start

after the women's medal ceremony. It would be tough to ask him to go

:52:52.:53:02.
:53:02.:53:03.

straight away? If the adrenalin is pumping, it might be OK. You could

:53:03.:53:07.

say that getting your bike right is part of it in the first place?

:53:07.:53:11.

have changed the rules, at the 1996 Olympics the reigning world

:53:11.:53:16.

champion pulled his foot on malign and he was almost guaranteed a win,

:53:16.:53:20.

he just had to ride around. Bobby's it hurts a little bit, but he

:53:20.:53:25.

pulled his foot from his paddle and at that point there was no restart,

:53:25.:53:30.

nowadays he would have been given a restart. -- obviously it hurts a

:53:30.:53:40.
:53:40.:53:51.

He has not even done half a lap. can't really see it. We heard from

:53:51.:53:55.

Jill Douglas that it was a problem with his disc wheel at the back, it

:53:55.:54:00.

is not clear what. Pretty soon after he came out of the gate he

:54:00.:54:06.

realised there was a problem. Any idea? It could be that the bolts

:54:06.:54:08.

idea? It could be that the bolts slipped and the wheel was rubbing

:54:08.:54:12.

against the frame, it could be that simple. It could be an issue with

:54:12.:54:17.

the wheel itself. We will look at that right when he gets back on his

:54:17.:54:21.

bike, good luck to Glenn O'Shea, not the easiest thing to deal with.

:54:21.:54:25.

It was a dramatic day for the British team yesterday, a couple of

:54:25.:54:31.

gold medals, but first came in the points race with Simon Yates. --

:54:31.:54:41.
:54:41.:54:50.

laps. 20 laps gained if you take a lap. The bell in the background is

:54:50.:54:54.

letting us know that we are, as you can see, are misprint lap, the

:54:54.:54:59.

first of the race. Big crowds are getting animated with the rider

:54:59.:55:09.
:55:09.:55:10.

from Belarus. I think he was pipped for second place. The Frenchman won.

:55:10.:55:16.

It is quite a war of attrition, the points race. There were 80 laps to

:55:16.:55:24.

go. With the lap Games, -- gained, Simon Yates from Great Britain is

:55:24.:55:29.

the joint leader of the men's points race final. Yates is on the

:55:29.:55:35.

front, he desperately needs more points. Simon Yates leading birth -

:55:35.:55:42.

- leading the Sprint, he gets five points a year. Simon Yates is up to

:55:42.:55:52.
:55:52.:55:53.

the silver met opposition. -- medal position. One point in it and nine

:55:53.:55:57.

laps remaining. Yates needs to keep himself in touch, he is moving

:55:57.:56:03.

towards the back of the group with only one lap remaining. He has to

:56:03.:56:09.

score a point. Yates for the first time is in the wrong place at the

:56:09.:56:13.

vital moment of the race. He is nowhere near the front of the group

:56:13.:56:19.

at the moment. The Frenchman Leeds. Simon Yates is making its move.

:56:19.:56:26.

This is extraordinary. Simon Yates goes around the outside. We need to

:56:26.:56:30.

see the chasers. There they are. Yates is third on the track, there

:56:30.:56:38.

hears. Simon Yates, 20 years of age, could be about to become the world

:56:38.:56:43.

champion. He is absolutely burying himself here, and Simon Yates has

:56:43.:56:48.

done it, he is the world champion at 20 years of age! What a

:56:48.:56:58.
:56:58.:57:00.

I tried to conserve my energy at the start. I just got a bit more

:57:00.:57:04.

and bought through the race, started taking a few sprints, it

:57:04.:57:10.

worked out well -- started to get a bit more involved. It must be

:57:10.:57:16.

fantastic to have somebody off his experience with you? I was probably

:57:16.:57:20.

giving him a nightmare, not listening to what he was doing. I

:57:20.:57:24.

couldn't have asked for a better mentor. That was a very impressive

:57:24.:57:30.

piece of bike riding? Very good. He had to really dig deep in the final

:57:30.:57:36.

20 laps to pull that out of the back. A great ride throughout. I

:57:36.:57:42.

have been there, I really wanted it for him. Couldn't have asked for

:57:42.:57:48.

any more, really. Perfect preparation, worked out perfectly.

:57:48.:57:53.

Now we can speak to Simon and Chris in the commentary position. Simon,

:57:53.:57:57.

you could get a job as a camera direct as well as a commentator,

:57:57.:58:00.

you were screaming at the local director to get Simon Yates

:58:01.:58:06.

invasion? Yes, because at least see him, it was as though he was fired

:58:06.:58:13.

from a catapult at the vital moment. It is a 160 lap race and he

:58:13.:58:17.

suddenly found himself in completely the wrong position, but

:58:17.:58:22.

just as all seemed lost, he realised the situation and he just

:58:22.:58:24.

about managed to summon the reserves of strength to make the

:58:24.:58:29.

move around the outside. He said this morning that he just sensed a

:58:29.:58:34.

very slight easing up among the other riders. He thought, no, it is

:58:34.:58:38.

all-or-nothing, the world title is on the line, it was a thrilling way

:58:38.:58:42.

to win the world title, but what did out for me was we mentioned he

:58:42.:58:47.

is just 20, he didn't even have a biography in the British Cycling

:58:47.:58:53.

website ahead of these championships. He rode it so

:58:53.:58:57.

intelligently and so Mocholi and he did not put a foot wrong throughout.

:58:57.:59:02.

He made sure he was in the mix, in the race at never far away, always

:59:02.:59:07.

in with a chance, but he did so without over extending. The Spanish

:59:07.:59:12.

rider who ended up with soul they did a mountain of work and also the

:59:12.:59:16.

Australia -- the Austrian rider, time and time again they were on

:59:16.:59:19.

their own trying to drag others around will get away and in the end

:59:19.:59:24.

they used up so much energy, but it was a very canny, intelligent ride

:59:24.:59:27.

from Simon Yates and he thoroughly deserves to be champion. It was not

:59:27.:59:34.

what we expected at the start of the race. It was not. Chris, you

:59:34.:59:38.

are out there mixing with the team, was there any inkling that he was

:59:38.:59:42.

in that kind of shape, he had the right had on his shoulders to do

:59:42.:59:49.

something like that? -- head on his shoulders. They know he is skilful,

:59:49.:59:53.

which is why they gave him the opportunity. I was speaking to

:59:53.:59:57.

Chris Newton earlier and he said that he is a clever bike rider, but

:59:57.:00:02.

even Chris was sweating at a couple of moments. As Simon said, there

:00:02.:00:06.

were plenty of times in that race when he took a calculated risks,

:00:06.:00:11.

and he called everyone correctly. He only made three key moves in

:00:11.:00:15.

that entire race and he called each one perfectly. It bodes very well

:00:15.:00:19.

for the future, he did not win because of a freak opportunity or

:00:19.:00:23.

because he physically had the legs and they don't know who he is, he

:00:23.:00:29.

was allowed to get away, he did it using his brain. Others will be

:00:29.:00:34.

aware of him because he has won a stage of another race in the past,

:00:34.:00:39.

which is a very tough race. The tour of the future, not officially

:00:39.:00:44.

the younger version of the Tour de France but that is how it is viewed.

:00:44.:00:48.

Because a range of disciplines on the road and on the track he has

:00:48.:00:58.
:00:58.:01:07.

already shown that he is highly Although it is viewed as a

:01:07.:01:14.

preparation for Rio, this race is not involved. He has made himself

:01:14.:01:21.

the favourite rider for Britain in that particular race, the next step

:01:21.:01:26.

is to go into the on the M. There is talk of playing around with the

:01:26.:01:31.

omnium, bringing the points raced back, at the Union Cycliste

:01:31.:01:36.

Internationale will propose that to the IOC and they may get some extra

:01:36.:01:40.

medals in there, particularly endurance medals, three and three

:01:40.:01:43.

with the sprinters but we do not know whether that is actually going

:01:43.:01:48.

to happen. That is up for grabs in the next few months. Just to say as

:01:49.:01:51.

well that Glenn O'Shea has come back onto the track now and he is

:01:51.:01:56.

about to do his final ride in the men's on the end, but he will have

:01:56.:02:05.

to go some to stand a chance because Aaron Gate is leading the

:02:05.:02:11.

way. It in that case, I will leave it to you to commentate on whether

:02:11.:02:17.

Glenn O'Shea can stay amongst the medals. The men's on the M. --

:02:17.:02:27.
:02:27.:02:29.

opportunity. It has to be the right of his life, he is the Australian

:02:29.:02:36.

National one kilometre Champany -- champion. He will know to go an

:02:36.:02:41.

awful lot quicker than that of the wants to take this omnium title. He

:02:41.:02:46.

has had two chances already, you can see he is committed and it is a

:02:46.:02:52.

good start. He comes through the to run and 50 metre mark, enough for

:02:52.:02:55.

fourth-fastest. Chris was saying that his best time he has done

:02:55.:02:59.

probably would have got him into that sort of position in this field

:02:59.:03:03.

with the times being ridden so far. He is on his game but still may not

:03:03.:03:08.

be enough. He is holding that position as it comes through 500

:03:08.:03:12.

metres so it will all be about the final. He is going to do a

:03:12.:03:17.

respectable ride, probably take the silver but I don't think he can

:03:17.:03:23.

shift Gate. The one more lap to go for the Australian to bring to the

:03:23.:03:27.

end of the omnium championship. has put on a great show, a

:03:27.:03:34.

gargantuan effort. It is not going to be enough as he crosses the line.

:03:34.:03:44.
:03:44.:03:44.

Glenn O'Shea with a result meaning the gold medal goes to Aaron Gate.

:03:44.:03:48.

I think he knew the gold medal was his but he had to wait until Glenn

:03:48.:03:54.

O'Shea had finished and Aaron Gate wins, 18 points and Lasse Hansen

:03:54.:03:58.

now the Olympic champion moves into the silver medal position because

:03:58.:04:02.

the time of Glenn O'Shea was not quite quick enough so Glenn O'Shea

:04:02.:04:05.

from Australia finishes with the bronze medal, he has lost the

:04:05.:04:15.
:04:15.:04:21.

silver medal by a point, finishes thought Glenn O'Shea would do

:04:21.:04:25.

slightly better and that single point cost him the silver medal so

:04:25.:04:35.
:04:35.:04:38.

he stays on the podium but miles ahead, and these are the result of

:04:38.:04:44.

the time trial. Lasse Hansen from Denmark second, a really fast time

:04:44.:04:54.

there and Lucas Liss in third for Germany. Glenn O'Shea not quite

:04:54.:05:02.

good enough in that final ride. The silver medal for Lasse Hansen and

:05:02.:05:08.

Glenn O'Shea for bronze, 19-year- old Jon Dibben finishing in 8th

:05:08.:05:18.
:05:18.:05:20.

A top-ten finish for you here, Jon Dibben. I saw you watching the guys

:05:20.:05:24.

there mixing it up for the medals and I could see in your eyes, there

:05:24.:05:29.

is a hunger to get up there and push up the rankings. I came here

:05:29.:05:32.

looking for a good result and doing the best I could do, I am happy

:05:32.:05:37.

with the way it has gone, happy with 8th, and obviously I would

:05:37.:05:43.

want to win so I am watching them but that is where I wanted to be.

:05:43.:05:49.

It is a high-quality field, some very experienced omnium riders.

:05:49.:05:53.

yes, six races in two days, it is quite busy. You never have too much

:05:53.:05:58.

time lying around. You do one raised and then fly into the points,

:05:58.:06:02.

then it is the second day. You have got to think about eating and

:06:02.:06:09.

racing. It all comes quickly, you have to stay on your toes. Pretty

:06:09.:06:15.

consistent right the way through but you were looking particularly

:06:15.:06:20.

fresh in the Devil and then coming into the blue. I think I did go on

:06:20.:06:23.

the blue at there but it was a tricky one, I was feeling good, got

:06:23.:06:28.

a good start and you always need a bit of luck in the Devil. I was in

:06:29.:06:33.

the wheel so out of the wind but I did not spend too much energy on

:06:33.:06:36.

the first couple of laps, then got stuck on the inside and I knew I

:06:36.:06:41.

would be tight and they could not go on the outside because Glenn

:06:41.:06:47.

O'Shea was squeezing the down side it was either crash or go on to the

:06:47.:06:52.

blue and it is breaking the rules so they were probably right to

:06:52.:06:56.

relegate me. Hard lines but overall, two days of competition and you

:06:56.:07:01.

have watched the guys in the pursuit team ride and he will watch

:07:01.:07:05.

the madison tomorrow. A great feeling among these young riders

:07:05.:07:11.

coming through, what is it like being part of that? If it is great.

:07:11.:07:19.

Yates is right, yesterday was unbelievably good. -- it is great.

:07:19.:07:23.

May, Sam Harrison, Sam Yates are all part of the Academy it so it is

:07:23.:07:28.

the younger guys coming up, -- me, Sam Harrison. We are all happy with

:07:28.:07:34.

it and the madison tomorrow. What is the plan for you? A couple of

:07:34.:07:38.

easy days but only a couple, straight onto the road and then

:07:38.:07:45.

concentrate on the road all year, get that head on. Get a bit of form.

:07:45.:07:50.

It enjoyed the delights of Minsk before you go. Congratulations.

:07:50.:07:57.

STUDIO: A top 10 finish for Jonathan didn't. -- Jon Dibben. A

:07:57.:08:02.

palpable sense of disappointment? It is a tough event, the omnium,

:08:02.:08:06.

how you have to get up for these events and it feels like you do not

:08:06.:08:10.

get much rest. Difficult to manage and it is a fantastic experience

:08:10.:08:14.

for him to go through a whole senior world competition but also

:08:14.:08:18.

the fact there is so much success over the past few days, that will

:08:18.:08:22.

really drive him on. My first World Championships were not so

:08:22.:08:26.

successful but lot of success within the 18, a few world

:08:26.:08:29.

champions made that here and it really inspired me to come back

:08:29.:08:35.

stronger the following year -- success with in that team. A with

:08:35.:08:39.

the success of Simon Yates, a contemporary seeing his success,

:08:39.:08:45.

those were his dreams, in this championship. Maybe they did that

:08:45.:08:52.

go with aspirations to win it but he is bound to be disappointed when

:08:52.:08:56.

he sees somebody who trains alongside him to go on and win a

:08:56.:09:00.

World Championship title, naturally he will be disappointed but the

:09:00.:09:04.

benchmark is very high. I am sure there will be plenty of good stays

:09:04.:09:09.

ahead of him. Next week will hope there is drama on the track in

:09:09.:09:13.

Gothenburg when we had to Sweden for the indoor athletics

:09:13.:09:23.
:09:23.:09:41.

Jason Gardener is the winner. It is Mo Farah.

:09:41.:09:48.

As the European Indoor Athletics gets under way in Gothenburg. We

:09:48.:09:53.

will had out now again to Minsk, speak to Jill Douglas in the mixed

:09:53.:09:57.

zone. Becky James obviously getting warmed up close to where you are.

:09:57.:10:04.

What is the mood in the camp like? Becky is smiling, looked relaxed,

:10:04.:10:08.

and composed. Absolutely no pressure on her at all. The coaches

:10:08.:10:12.

have been with her, chatting to her over the course of the evening.

:10:12.:10:15.

Giving her encouragement but he will take enormous confidence in

:10:15.:10:23.

the way she approached those two rides. We may already be crowning

:10:23.:10:27.

her world champion if it wasn't for the closeness of the first ride.

:10:27.:10:30.

The way she rode in the second right, she will take great

:10:30.:10:39.

confidence from that. She asked me for the Wales rugby score as well

:10:39.:10:45.

so she will be wanting to see that., we have almost C pair grow before

:10:45.:10:52.

our eyes with these games. -- see her grow. The point has been made

:10:52.:11:00.

by Simon and Chris and Vicky in the studio, she has had a consistent

:11:00.:11:05.

blog of training and racing. Bothered with ill health and injury

:11:05.:11:09.

and suddenly finds herself with a block of training and that is so

:11:09.:11:14.

confident. She was feeling good and you the numbers were good in

:11:14.:11:17.

training and no pressure on her. Looking back to the Commonwealth

:11:17.:11:20.

Games, she raced against Anna Meares, she is not intimidated by

:11:21.:11:26.

big games. Confidence is not something that Becky James lacks

:11:26.:11:33.

and she loves sprinting and racing. She will have taken confidence from

:11:33.:11:37.

her former earlier this week and he will have taken confidence from her

:11:37.:11:44.

rides earlier this week. Here's the old champion of this... Well not

:11:44.:11:54.

quite yet. It Becky, you think it is the key's to win? It is

:11:54.:11:59.

definitely in her grasp -- Vicky, you think it is Becky's to win. She

:11:59.:12:09.
:12:09.:12:25.

hands? Becky James from Abergavenny on the front and Kristina Vogel of

:12:25.:12:34.

Germany, Vogel winning the first race by mm. -- by about 1mm. I do

:12:34.:12:39.

feel that Becky James would benefit from having the wheel to aim at. It

:12:39.:12:43.

worked so well for her in the previous round. She could engage

:12:43.:12:50.

her own effort with a visual reference. Kristina Vogel is

:12:50.:12:53.

certainly a competitor to be respected. So close, that win in

:12:53.:12:58.

the first round. We thought Becky James had got it and the photo was

:12:58.:13:03.

literally mm but the second round Becky James looked a lot fresher

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

this time? Kristina Vogel on the outside of the pair, Becky James

:13:17.:13:23.

not giving how much room and not giving Vogel to much of an option.

:13:23.:13:28.

She is trying to make it a late sprint but now she is committing,

:13:28.:13:30.

the second burst of speed in the home straight, Vogel is on to the

:13:31.:13:34.

wheel and coming round on the shoulder, it is all or nothing.

:13:34.:13:38.

world title at stake and Becky James is going to do it! Becky

:13:39.:13:46.

James is the champion of the World! What a ride. Becky James in the

:13:46.:13:51.

final ride, she led from the front and at first... She did not know

:13:51.:13:57.

she had won there! Because post-the key Pendleton, Britain has a new

:13:57.:14:07.

star because she held on -- poster Vicky Pendleton. She won by half a

:14:07.:14:10.

wheel which will mean she will have a gold medal around her neck rather

:14:10.:14:20.
:14:20.:14:21.

than a silver. She did not want to wait. she cannot believe it now,

:14:21.:14:27.

rolling around and neither can the sprint coaches. What a promising

:14:27.:14:32.

rider. She has had illness and injury and finally fulfilling her

:14:32.:14:39.

capabilities. What joy as well for the coaches who have done a great

:14:39.:14:45.

job. Becky James, so much talent and it has all come to fruition

:14:45.:14:50.

here. Still just 21 but she rode absolutely brilliantly and what a

:14:50.:14:56.

winning smile. From the new world champion. What a World

:14:56.:15:01.

Championships. She has got a hat for of medals. That one is the

:15:01.:15:05.

right colour. Two bronze medals earlier in the week for her on the

:15:05.:15:09.

first day in the team sprint alongside Vicky Williamson, another

:15:09.:15:12.

promising new young member of the British team and then the bronze

:15:13.:15:17.

medal again in the women's 500 metres time trial which she was not

:15:17.:15:20.

targeting, she said she wanted to do the right and get back and

:15:21.:15:24.

prepare for the spread because for her, this was the big event of the

:15:24.:15:28.

week and all that effort has all been worth it now. Because she is

:15:28.:15:33.

on top of the world. Good for the coaches as well because this is the

:15:33.:15:35.

first time to be there with somebody doing this for the first

:15:36.:15:40.

time. They have seen world champions many times now but always

:15:41.:15:50.
:15:51.:16:02.

on the front of one or two of the newspapers tomorrow! We saw that

:16:02.:16:05.

she had the potential to achieve great things in the Commonwealth

:16:05.:16:09.

Games in Delhi when she went all the way through to the sprint final

:16:09.:16:17.

and gave Anna Meares a good race. But now, three years on, she is a

:16:17.:16:20.

world champion. And some of the people who really matter are here

:16:21.:16:29.

Talking about passing the baton from one world champion to another,

:16:29.:16:35.

Becky James, how delighted are you to see this? It was a fantastic

:16:35.:16:41.

competition for her. She rode the third race very confidently, she

:16:41.:16:45.

was clearly the winner and my eyes, I'd put my money on it before we

:16:45.:16:51.

got to the final. Craig, she has won this title, she has two bronze

:16:52.:16:56.

medals, there must be a certain amount of 30, it gives you a

:16:56.:17:01.

flavour of what shape she is in. -- there must be a certain amount of

:17:01.:17:05.

fatigue. Most of these riders have raced at some point with some

:17:05.:17:12.

fatigue. Everyone has tired legs. But Becky seems to be bouncing back

:17:12.:17:16.

better than most. There was lots of shouting during the race about what

:17:16.:17:26.
:17:26.:17:27.

she should and should not do, let's the lead again, she was gaining

:17:27.:17:32.

some height and it looked like she wanted to push ahead. At one stage

:17:32.:17:38.

we thought, don't letter over the top of you, and she didn't. She is

:17:38.:17:42.

protecting the inside of the track, holding Vogel in a position and

:17:42.:17:47.

then she dictated won the sprint would start. She just held a good,

:17:47.:17:52.

strong sprint right through to the final lap. You said Vogel didn't

:17:52.:17:57.

leave a gap? She got right on Becky's wheel, which was a mistake.

:17:57.:18:03.

She needed a gap to run into. There is no way you can sit on your wheel

:18:03.:18:07.

and tried to edge around, it does not work like that. She was right

:18:07.:18:15.

The new world champion is alongside Jill Douglas.

:18:15.:18:19.

I can tell you what she has to say, she says you can't believe it, it

:18:19.:18:23.

is a dream. Wonderful to see you celebrating with your grandparents,

:18:23.:18:27.

who have made the trip. I can't believe this has just happened to

:18:27.:18:34.

me. I am world champion, I can't believe it! We said to you

:18:34.:18:38.

yesterday that nobody would want to race against you when the final

:18:38.:18:41.

because you looked so strong or weak, but take us through the final.

:18:41.:18:46.

When you went up against Vogel one lost it in the photo finish, what

:18:46.:18:54.

were your thoughts? I went over my tactics afterwards, I should have

:18:54.:18:59.

gone rather than wait it. But I really, really wanted to win. I

:18:59.:19:03.

kept myself calm and thought about what I wanted to do in the next

:19:03.:19:07.

round, I did it and I did it again in the third. A really convincing

:19:07.:19:13.

win in the second round. How do you keep a lid on things? You were so

:19:13.:19:18.

relaxed here. It is the first time I've been relaxed. I have taken its

:19:18.:19:21.

step-by-step and not thought further ahead, just taking each

:19:21.:19:27.

race as it came. Now I know how to race properly! When you came into

:19:27.:19:32.

the championships, you knew you were in good form, you had a

:19:32.:19:35.

wonderful Glock of training and kept good health, but did you

:19:35.:19:39.

believe you would go home with a rainbow jersey and two medals from

:19:39.:19:44.

previous events? I did not think I would get a single medal, I hope to

:19:44.:19:49.

get into the top eight. I can't believe I have a rainbow jersey!

:19:49.:19:54.

Victoria Pendleton was cheering you on in the studio. What did your

:19:54.:19:57.

grand parent say? They said I deserved it, that I had trained so

:19:57.:20:02.

hard, they are buzzing, they are so happy and it is so nice to have

:20:02.:20:05.

them here. Congratulate and sand thank you.

:20:05.:20:10.

Thank you. -- congratulate Asians and thank you.

:20:11.:20:17.

She did not think she would win any medals, and she has got three, she

:20:17.:20:21.

could get a 4th tomorrow. With confidence like that, and the other

:20:22.:20:25.

girls have probably raised at the same amount of competition, she has

:20:25.:20:29.

a good chance. It was interesting that she said she has never felt

:20:29.:20:34.

more relaxed at the championships. People at home might think that for

:20:34.:20:40.

your first world title it should be the opposite? When she says relaxed,

:20:40.:20:46.

she means relaxed the competition. It is it a situation to be in. But

:20:46.:20:49.

when you qualify fastest and you see how much of an advantage you

:20:49.:20:54.

have, it eats you huge confidence and you can smile, take it in your

:20:54.:20:58.

stride, try and make clear sense of what you're doing and make the

:20:58.:21:03.

right decisions, which is what I think she has done. She dominated

:21:03.:21:12.

the Sprint, she lost one raised by just this much -- she lost one race.

:21:12.:21:16.

She took it by the scrap of the neck? Yes, and that confidence

:21:16.:21:22.

comes from qualifying the fastest. Not that you can take your foot off

:21:22.:21:25.

the gas but it gives you a psychological edge against your

:21:25.:21:29.

competitors, because they know you're the one to beat. As long as

:21:29.:21:34.

you don't make mistakes, it is yours for the taking. Celebrate the

:21:34.:21:39.

moment, that is important, but she takes on a different status now,

:21:39.:21:43.

she is a world champion with a title on her back? The stripes go

:21:43.:21:48.

that way round, but I feel like they should go that way round. The

:21:48.:21:52.

first time I rode in my world champion Jersey I remember being at

:21:52.:21:59.

a race in Germany and I thought, I will never be overlooked ever again.

:21:59.:22:03.

People will look at me as the one to set the targets on, to try to

:22:03.:22:08.

beat next time. It is a burden but she seems very confident and happy

:22:08.:22:11.

with her training and her performance. I think there will be

:22:12.:22:16.

many more titles going her way. What she has is an environment

:22:16.:22:21.

around her at British Cycling which knows all about having success, and

:22:21.:22:26.

handling failure. But handling success is really important. They

:22:26.:22:29.

are very experienced at producing world champions and they have gone

:22:29.:22:34.

to show it at this Championships. People were concerned there was not

:22:34.:22:38.

the motivation or form throughout the whole team, but really they

:22:38.:22:41.

have the right support around the individuals to bring them to that

:22:41.:22:46.

level, but very highest level, and give them the best chance of

:22:46.:22:52.

achieving their dreams. Great for women sport. There has been a lot

:22:52.:22:57.

about women sports and how well they have done with the Olympics in

:22:57.:23:04.

the Paralympics. This is a triumph for the girls? I went into 2012

:23:04.:23:08.

having the feeling that it would be the year for the girls to make the

:23:08.:23:12.

transition and be as dominant as the men's team. In the early days

:23:12.:23:16.

there were only two of us on the team, now it is full of world

:23:16.:23:20.

champions really holding their own at the elite level of track cycling,

:23:20.:23:26.

it is great to see and I am so pleased. Lots of talk beforehand

:23:26.:23:31.

don't -- almost playing down expectations. It is a young team.

:23:31.:23:37.

Yet when we look at the medal table, Britain are doing incredibly well.

:23:37.:23:41.

That is part of the reason Becky was so relaxed, there was not the

:23:41.:23:45.

pressure you would have leading directly into a games. Fantastic

:23:45.:23:51.

results all round. It is hard coming out of an Olympic Games and

:23:51.:23:55.

straight into the world championships so quickly. There is

:23:55.:23:59.

a few notable athletes missing that would ordinarily be there. They

:23:59.:24:05.

have taken time out for whatever reason. It is maybe not absolutely

:24:05.:24:10.

true reflection of where we are in the world, but it is pretty good.

:24:10.:24:14.

It was a good start, there is experience such as Jason Kenny and

:24:14.:24:19.

Laura Trott, but they are all so young, they will be there in Rio

:24:19.:24:26.

leading the team. Absolutely. There are many people on the team who

:24:26.:24:29.

have not been in the post Olympic gold, they have been watching the

:24:29.:24:34.

Olympics, raring to get a chance to race, watching how successful the

:24:34.:24:40.

team has been. They have grasped the opportunity with both hands and

:24:40.:24:45.

given it 100%. I think it bodes very well for the run-up to Rio,

:24:45.:24:49.

producing a new team, a fresh new team of individuals who are the

:24:49.:24:53.

best in the world. A word for the coaching team behind the scenes and

:24:53.:24:58.

a job that they have done with Becky, with the likes of Simon and

:24:58.:25:03.

Jon Dibben, you know them very well, Craig, they are like -- an

:25:03.:25:08.

outstanding bunch of people? Most of them are former riders, the only

:25:08.:25:12.

exception is possibly Iain Dyer, although he rode, just not at

:25:13.:25:19.

international level. They are recently retired as well, they are

:25:19.:25:24.

taking a fresh approach. Other countries maybe have coaches who

:25:24.:25:29.

have been there forever, basically. It is constantly evolving, the

:25:29.:25:34.

methods. That is great for those young athletes. Going back to Becky,

:25:34.:25:41.

world champion now, what is the calendar ahead of her? What is next

:25:41.:25:44.

day she builds towards the next World Championship next year?

:25:44.:25:48.

sure she will have a break, but I doubt she will want one. She will

:25:48.:25:53.

be ready to start training and get stuck in. It really depends on how

:25:53.:25:57.

many World Cups she wishes to approach next year's, then

:25:57.:26:00.

following into the worlds. If she will have the Commonwealth Games

:26:00.:26:07.

next year for Wales. She will have a fight on her hands, there will be

:26:07.:26:11.

fierce competition from Australia and, I'm sure, England as well. You

:26:11.:26:17.

could have a comeback for that, Victoria! Enough of us talking,

:26:17.:26:20.

let's get back to Minsk for the crowning of a new British world

:26:20.:26:30.
:26:30.:26:32.

onto the podium for the third time this week, but she is finally

:26:32.:26:35.

standing in a position where she really wants to be, in the middle

:26:35.:26:45.
:26:45.:27:01.

to Wai Sze Lee from Hong Kong. The women presenting the flowers is one

:27:01.:27:04.

of the great track riders from Belarus in recent years. Thinking

:27:04.:27:08.

about the women's sprint competition, most of the top names

:27:08.:27:13.

were here. Bobby's the Anna Meares is having a little break. --

:27:13.:27:20.

obviously Anna Meares. This is a very, very strong field. But they

:27:20.:27:24.

had to play second fiddle to Becky James. I don't necessarily think

:27:24.:27:29.

those names not being here made a great deal of difference. These

:27:29.:27:33.

times here have been quick and these are the people that are

:27:33.:27:38.

motivated to be here and get stuck into the next Olympic cycle. I am

:27:38.:27:42.

not sure you can take you out in this day and age, we will have to

:27:42.:27:46.

wait and see. Kristina Vogel. And now the moment we have all been

:27:46.:27:56.
:27:56.:28:07.

champion, is now a senior champion. And she did it in some style,

:28:07.:28:12.

losing the first race in the final under real pressure. She came back

:28:12.:28:18.

and turn the final on its head. Absolutely delighted to be pulling

:28:19.:28:26.

on the rainbow jersey. For the first time. She keeps looking down

:28:26.:28:32.

to have a good look! It is the right colour! Let's just wait for

:28:32.:28:42.
:28:42.:28:44.

this presentation. She is coming forward to present the flowers.

:28:44.:28:49.

Sze Lee was on the top step of the podium as the winner in the 500

:28:49.:28:54.

metres earlier in the week. Kristina Vogel, who also has a gold

:28:54.:28:58.

medal this week from the team sprint. She is an Olympic champion

:28:58.:29:08.
:29:08.:29:13.

three medals in a week, and she saved the best till last. And here

:29:13.:29:23.
:29:23.:29:24.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds

:29:24.:30:17.

toast of Wales and also British from illness and injury for Becky

:30:17.:30:23.

James but at last, she has arrived and making it all the sweeter.

:30:23.:30:26.

did wonder over the last couple of years with all the problems she had,

:30:26.:30:31.

whether she would be able to fulfil the potential we all knew was there

:30:31.:30:34.

but she has done more than that this week with those two bronze

:30:35.:30:38.

medals and now the World Championship victory in the women's

:30:38.:30:45.

sprint. Victoria Pendleton, no longer be champion put the winning

:30:45.:30:50.

jersey staying in British hands. STUDIO: A wonderful moment for

:30:50.:30:54.

Becky James and alongside Jill Douglas is one of the head coach's

:30:54.:31:00.

of British cycling, Jill Douglas, over to you. Shane, fantastic to

:31:00.:31:05.

see the togetherness of that British team, standing and seeing

:31:05.:31:09.

Becky James celebrating. On that evidence, dare we say, the first of

:31:09.:31:14.

many in the years to come? Becky has come here, performed

:31:14.:31:18.

brilliantly, not just in the sprint but her rides in the team spent and

:31:18.:31:27.

the 500. I think the whole squad performed well. From the starting

:31:27.:31:31.

put a good going forward, we have got a young and dynamic team. These

:31:31.:31:35.

are the World Championships, we are not here to get experience, we are

:31:35.:31:39.

here to win medals. The rest of the world must see this British team

:31:39.:31:45.

and think they have not got Chris Hoy with them, no Victoria

:31:45.:31:49.

Pendleton, maybe they will let us have a look in. And you have come

:31:49.:31:54.

with a squad of riders like Simon Yates and Becky James who have

:31:54.:31:59.

stepped up an Elinor Barker coming into the pursuit team. Something is

:31:59.:32:06.

going correctly. The S, and full credit to the management team.

:32:06.:32:14.

Brailsford -- yes, and full credit. We know everybody is back there

:32:14.:32:22.

behind us. The loss of bigger riders, big names, has only

:32:22.:32:26.

inspired the athletes to be even bigger things. Sir Chris Hoy,

:32:26.:32:30.

massively missed. Just his demeanour and his leadership

:32:30.:32:34.

qualities in the pit, but Jason stepped up here and he has taken

:32:34.:32:40.

that a role. This girl has just gone 10.9, foot and there's not

:32:40.:32:50.

many sprinters here who can scare her. And Simon, team pursuit,

:32:50.:32:58.

running second. Girls, winning. It all bodes well for the future. As

:32:58.:33:05.

long as we keep working hard, just keep building the squad and the

:33:05.:33:09.

dynamic this week has been absolutely fantastic. Between staff

:33:09.:33:12.

and riders, and that is the most pleasing thing for me because it is

:33:12.:33:18.

a relatively new squad. Looking around the Velodrome, we have seen

:33:18.:33:27.

the New Zealanders come here, the Australian team, your brother Gary

:33:27.:33:31.

involved in the Australian team. What are they talking about what

:33:31.:33:37.

the British team? A mix of youth in the team but Becky James in her own

:33:37.:33:44.

right stepped up and she is now world champion. We pride ourselves

:33:44.:33:48.

on a good squad. We did not have the years of development straight

:33:48.:33:52.

after Beijing but these riders have come through the system and now we

:33:52.:33:56.

are looking to develop to 2020 it now. Some good talent coming

:33:56.:34:02.

through and it has been exciting, and we have come away with great

:34:02.:34:07.

success. Not over yet. Becky James, what a composed and mature approach

:34:07.:34:12.

to that spent tonight. Yes, she came of age and the beauty was from

:34:12.:34:17.

even the coach's point of view, she was not afraid to pin the German

:34:17.:34:21.

rider on the fence. She showed real ability and tracked her down when

:34:21.:34:27.

she had to. Stepped on it when she had two and she brought it home. It

:34:27.:34:32.

is refreshing to see a young rider be prepared to take it on from the

:34:32.:34:36.

front. Many of them liked to ride from the back end today was a prime

:34:36.:34:40.

example. We have got a prime talent but we have known that for a long

:34:40.:34:48.

time. This girls -- gill has done a lot of work in Moscow. We will lead

:34:48.:34:58.
:34:58.:35:06.

Great Britain top the table of the medals. We got one from Jason Kenny,

:35:06.:35:13.

Becky James, women's in pursuit with Laura Trott and Simon Yates.

:35:13.:35:16.

Lauren Trott has been going in the omnium today, competed in a couple

:35:16.:35:21.

of races already, she lives in 5th place, the elimination race coming

:35:21.:35:25.

up shortly. We will not be able to get that on BBC Two, but we will

:35:25.:35:29.

put it on the red button. We did catch up with Laura before the

:35:30.:35:39.
:35:40.:35:42.

Our training has been going well so I am looking forward to it. Just

:35:42.:35:47.

want to get it done. Obviously, I am at mainly team pursuit still but

:35:47.:35:51.

I have been doing lots more omnium stuff just because when it Joe left

:35:51.:35:58.

our team, there were only two of us so we had to concentrate on that. I

:35:58.:36:04.

did points-based stuff and some omnium. I would like to do well and

:36:04.:36:11.

retain my title. Are you finding it tough to get yourself motivated for

:36:11.:36:19.

the World Championships? No, not really. I noticed we have been so

:36:19.:36:23.

highly and the expectation was high. We had a break and went to

:36:23.:36:27.

Australia, did lot more training but now I am super excited. I just

:36:27.:36:32.

want to race. It is going well in training. We have not done a long-

:36:32.:36:35.

standing effort because we have not been on the track, Elinor Barker

:36:36.:36:41.

has been at school so we have only just come together two weeks ago.

:36:41.:36:45.

Minsk, Bella rooves. You have been before. What are your thoughts and

:36:45.:36:54.

memories of Minsk -- Minsk - are the roots. It is not a freezing

:36:54.:36:59.

cold in my memory! The first time I met Shane Sutton was here. What

:36:59.:37:05.

were your impressions? He seemed like an angry man! He told me I was

:37:05.:37:08.

not powerful enough as well to be a team pursuit rider. He has eaten

:37:08.:37:17.

his words? He yes, he has since STUDIO: It is actually on the BBC

:37:17.:37:21.

website, not the red button, the elimination race. We will see the

:37:21.:37:27.

finish of the omnium tomorrow. A quick chat, Laura in complete

:37:27.:37:32.

contrast to her boyfriend's Jason Kenny. She loves it. As she said,

:37:32.:37:36.

it feels like she has not raced for ages but realistically, it is not

:37:36.:37:40.

that long since the Olympics really. It did, let catch up with what

:37:40.:37:45.

happened yesterday. One of the gold medals, Jason Kenny in the keirin.

:37:45.:37:55.
:37:55.:38:02.

disappear now. And the Dutch rider hits the front. Taylor in second

:38:02.:38:12.
:38:12.:38:12.

Jason Kenny up to second place. Next time round they will take the

:38:12.:38:18.

Bell. Perfectly positioned, Kenny is just waiting and waiting. If he

:38:18.:38:23.

does not get boxed in, he is in a great position. Jason Kenny is

:38:23.:38:27.

right on his wheel, he has a chance to win the gold medal and up

:38:27.:38:32.

towards the line, it is Jason Kenny who is the world champion! What I

:38:32.:38:38.

ride! When it really mattered, Jason Kenny delivered. He did not

:38:38.:38:42.

look like a world champion through the day but my word, he did there

:38:42.:38:46.

and that that is exactly what he is. A double Olympic champion, he is

:38:46.:38:51.

now the world champion in the men's keirin, a fantastic ride from Jason

:38:51.:38:57.

Kenny. Maximilian Levy ends up with the silver, and the Dutch rider,

:38:57.:39:02.

the bronze. I get the feeling that that surprised him, I don't think

:39:02.:39:07.

he realised... He had good legs, and the coaching team said before

:39:08.:39:12.

his there, just missing something that in that race, we watch the

:39:12.:39:15.

replays, he was presented with the opportunity, came on the inside,

:39:15.:39:19.

found himself in the perfect position with a lap to go. He was

:39:19.:39:23.

given room to work and he just waited until it was time to go and

:39:23.:39:28.

accelerated into the slipstream of Maximilian Levy. He was absolutely

:39:28.:39:35.

delighted with that opportunity. put my house on Maximilian Levy

:39:35.:39:42.

winning, to be honest! He is so strong, I could not believe the

:39:42.:39:46.

speed we were going out. Everybody was in a line behind us. Doing a

:39:46.:39:55.

bit of a Sir Chris Hoy, leading us all on. I can't believe it. All day,

:39:55.:40:00.

we only made the final by default. It was a roller-coaster of a day

:40:00.:40:03.

because he got boxed in and had to go through the repechage. What were

:40:03.:40:08.

you thinking then? I was having such a confidence crisis,

:40:08.:40:12.

especially after yesterday. It was really hard, messing up the team

sprint like that. I was expecting to be standing here with the lads

:40:19.:40:25.

because I cocked it up so badly. That was such a big blow. It is an

:40:25.:40:30.

amazing feeling to put it right. It is a shame that cannot be here to

:40:30.:40:37.

enjoy it. Nice to see Jason Kenny Looking forward to tomorrow, it

could get even better through medal chances for the British tomorrow.

:40:41.:40:46.

The woman of the moment, Becky James in the keirin. With the

:40:46.:40:50.

confidence she has just taken, new world champion, you could not fault

:40:50.:40:55.

her performance so far through the championships, she is in with a

:40:55.:40:59.

good shout. If she rides three rides well, she could have another

:40:59.:41:06.

title. The adrenaline, she will not slip a week tonight, will she?

:41:06.:41:15.

She may sleep in her jersey. said after the bronze medal, that

she and Vicky could not sleep but that did not hold her back. Maybe

:41:19.:41:24.

nothing to worry about. She has got nothing to lose. She has already

won a title. We have got binmen's madison, Simon Yates is back on

track with Owen Doull who did well in the scratchers race. Yes, he was

:41:34.:41:42.

5th. Could be a formidable pairing. And Laura Trott, you can see her on

:41:42.:41:49.

the website for the elimination race, how do you see her? Is she in

:41:49.:41:53.

a decent position? I think with the omnium, it is not often you see

:41:53.:41:56.

someone stay at the top of the banking throughout, it has to

change. People are strengths and weaknesses within the format so she

:42:01.:42:07.

is still in with a good chance of being on the podium. And Laura's

:42:07.:42:12.

attitude is like a breath of fresh air. Her and Jason Kenny are

:42:12.:42:17.

together, almost a complete contrast in character. Possibly. I

:42:17.:42:23.

wonder who does most of the talking in that household! Jason it lets

:42:23.:42:28.

his legs do the talking and obviously Laura does as well but

:42:28.:42:32.

they are just different characters and both formidable riders. Also

:42:32.:42:37.

nice for law as well to have Becky come along and take a bit of the

future. Shane Sutton talking earlier on, he got the sense he was

:42:56.:43:03.

pretty comfortable with how things were going. I and every reason to

:43:03.:43:09.

be as well. Why would they not be happy? Perhaps better than they

anticipated when they came into it. They came in and wanted to get some

:43:16.:43:20.

experience and they have come out with much more. If they put their

mind to it... We have come to the end up our time here. Laura Trott
