London - Day 3

:00:55. > :01:00.Good afternoon. Thank you for joining us for the final day of

:01:00. > :01:05.action inside the Olympic Velodrome. The next family C-grade Brydon

:01:05. > :01:15.fighting for medals in year, the Olympics will have begun. -- the

:01:15. > :01:20.

:01:20. > :01:30.next families seek Great Britain Look at that! And you world record!

:01:30. > :01:36.

:01:36. > :01:46.What an amazing ride by Great Britain! Here comes Chris Hoy! He

:01:46. > :01:54.

:01:54. > :02:03.A glittering performance! What alas couple of days it has been, what

:02:03. > :02:09.must it be like to be a member of the Great Britain cycling scene? We

:02:09. > :02:15.have got a Lizzie Armistead with us. She knows what she's talking about

:02:15. > :02:22.when it comes to the track. She has now set her sights on the Boat race

:02:22. > :02:28.in the Olympics. What inspiration have you had for the Olympics from

:02:28. > :02:36.this weekend? It gives you as bombs. The atmosphere is like nothing I

:02:36. > :02:40.have experienced before. -- it gives you goose bumps. They had

:02:40. > :02:43.done a great job so I had not had to shout at the television. I know

:02:43. > :02:48.that you have trained a lot in the team pursued with the endurance

:02:48. > :02:52.riders, was it sweet to see them taking the medals? Yes, I had been

:02:52. > :02:57.training with them, they have really put in the hours and I am

:02:57. > :03:02.pleased for them. The big think this weekend is sending out the

:03:02. > :03:06.message to the rest of the world getting ready for the Olympic Games.

:03:06. > :03:12.Yes, it is a mental game and a physical game, so to have the upper

:03:12. > :03:21.hand already, it is good. Are you ready for the road race? Yes, I

:03:21. > :03:25.hope so. We will talk about it all with you this afternoon. Lots

:03:25. > :03:35.coming up this afternoon. The final day of action, this is what is

:03:35. > :04:06.

:04:06. > :04:11.Very soon, it is all about the men's sprint. Chris Hoy is involved

:04:11. > :04:18.in that, and you can see him there hiding with his headphones on. He

:04:18. > :04:28.is getting ready with the action. Last night he was in the keirin and

:04:28. > :04:41.

:04:41. > :04:49.he gave the crowd what they wanted one. Chris Hoy sees the danger.

:04:49. > :04:59.With two laps to go, it is the leader from New Zealand. A bit of

:04:59. > :05:01.

:05:01. > :05:07.work to do. Chris Hoy profiting from the work of the French man.

:05:07. > :05:14.Now, the crowd are screaming, here comes Chris Hoy. He is coming down

:05:14. > :05:24.the outside. I think Chris Hoy got it. It was so close! The clenched

:05:24. > :05:27.

:05:27. > :05:32.fist comes out for Chris Hoy. The real McCoy! He delivered in style!

:05:32. > :05:39.The French man was ignoring everybody else and waiting for

:05:40. > :05:49.Chris Hoy. He wanted to lead him on, but he did not fall into that trap.

:05:49. > :05:59.What a great final lap! There is his dad with the Nikkei banner! --

:05:59. > :05:59.

:05:59. > :06:05.He has the impressive qualities you need to be a top keirin rider.

:06:05. > :06:12.Chris has got that extra gear which is very helpful in the keirin. When

:06:12. > :06:15.he is on that year, you do not get past Chris Hoy. Dani King had her

:06:15. > :06:24.hand over her mouth as he came round and thought he had left it

:06:24. > :06:29.too late. No, I knew he would close the gap. When he is moving, he is

:06:29. > :06:34.moving. He will hope to defend his Olympic crown in the keirin at the

:06:34. > :06:38.Olympic Games here in a few months' time. You would think been the

:06:38. > :06:44.reigning sprint Olympic champion, he would be riding and bat, but

:06:44. > :06:54.there is a new rule, one writer, per event, per nation. Chris Hoy

:06:54. > :06:55.

:06:56. > :06:59.and Jason Kenny are fighting for Team-mates and rivals Chris Hoy and

:06:59. > :07:08.Jason Kenny have provided fans with some classic duels since Chris Hoy

:07:08. > :07:13.became Olympic champion in 2008. The pendulum swung in favour of

:07:13. > :07:20.Kenny but new rules they are battling for one place in the

:07:20. > :07:24.Olympic sprint competition and with the French man been stripped of his

:07:24. > :07:31.title for drug infringements, Jason Kennedy is now the proud owner of a

:07:31. > :07:34.rainbow jersey. It was a strange way to win it. We are deep into the

:07:34. > :07:39.preparations now for the World Championships in Melbourne, so it

:07:39. > :07:43.is nice to have a special hope on a Sunday to wear it in front of the

:07:44. > :07:49.home crowd. I take you back to the date when he won that a third gold

:07:49. > :07:57.medal, and Jews said... This is the man that will win in London, I am

:07:57. > :08:00.sure. Not until he mentioned it. It was just a psychological process

:08:00. > :08:04.for someone that has come on as quickly that he would take the

:08:04. > :08:09.world by storm that he has had it amazing four years, but not a great

:08:09. > :08:14.is the would have expected. He turned it around. If he won the

:08:14. > :08:18.gold, he would have no problems at the last few years. I have had some

:08:18. > :08:22.success, but also not as much as perhaps I would have wanted in the

:08:22. > :08:27.last couple of years. If I was to win gold in London, I think that

:08:27. > :08:37.would all be forgotten. There is nothing in it, with the whole team,

:08:37. > :08:37.

:08:37. > :08:45.with marked as well, there will be some good racing. -- mark. You have

:08:46. > :08:52.got the grade with Chris Hoy and the up and coming grade with Jason

:08:52. > :08:55.Kenny. On the day it will all come down to the power and can the power

:08:55. > :09:03.of Jason Cowley had weighed the speed of Chris Hoy. We are in a

:09:03. > :09:07.grid position there. -- great position. They are so close and so

:09:07. > :09:13.finely matched, it is tremendously difficult as a decision and we will

:09:13. > :09:19.try and take the subjectivity out of it and make sure we use as much

:09:19. > :09:24.information and facts as we can to use in the decision-making. It is a

:09:24. > :09:31.nice situation to be and, because if you took the top eight players

:09:31. > :09:34.in cycling, we have got two of the best. When you think you can only

:09:34. > :09:41.have one of those people per country, it dilutes the Olympics a

:09:41. > :09:46.little bit, so what is a shame. Team GB have a big decision to make

:09:46. > :09:50.very soon. As much as it is fantastic for us to watch this two

:09:50. > :09:55.going toe-to-toe, how much does it affect the Olympics that you have

:09:55. > :09:58.some riders that cannot compete because of the new rules? It is a

:09:58. > :10:02.shame. The World Championships is harder to win and the Olympics

:10:02. > :10:08.because of this, but I think the mentality is that it is a race to

:10:08. > :10:12.get to the Olympics, so you have to qualify to get there. Jason Kennedy,

:10:12. > :10:16.he is being given his world championship jersey here, because

:10:16. > :10:25.the French man was wearing the jersey and there were missed drug

:10:26. > :10:30.tests, so it was taken away from I am. -- from them. Jason will wed

:10:30. > :10:34.this rainbow jersey until the next world championships in Melbourne in

:10:34. > :10:41.April. Will he be confident in taking that sprint spot? It is

:10:41. > :10:44.difficult to call. Yes, it is very difficult. Chris and Jason will be

:10:44. > :10:52.aware that their performances here and at the World Championships will

:10:52. > :11:00.be scrutinised. How does it work? Every training session, they have a

:11:00. > :11:10.power centre on their bike, and it is dead leader and the players and

:11:10. > :11:10.

:11:10. > :11:13.coaches are aware of every minute detail. Here is Jason Kenny up

:11:13. > :11:16.against Scott Sunderland and he waited all weekend to get on the

:11:16. > :11:20.waited all weekend to get on the track. The Australian is quite

:11:20. > :11:26.slower than Jason and qualified a bit slower than him. Jason will

:11:26. > :11:30.want to qualify as easy as possible. It might look close but I am sure

:11:30. > :11:35.Jason is in full control and now has the house got time to prepare

:11:35. > :11:42.him on the line. Gets it right to the bench. It is perfect. The crowd

:11:42. > :11:47.are delighted. Benny goes up against Germany, old foes, he has

:11:47. > :11:52.to win this to stay in. At very different matter up be have cars

:11:53. > :11:58.they are quite similar in their speed. -- because they are quite

:11:58. > :12:05.similar. How frustrating, when he knows how much is at stake? Ensure

:12:05. > :12:09.he will be very disappointed. sent Kenny was knocked out and it

:12:09. > :12:14.made a chance available to Chris Hoy to get through it, here he is

:12:14. > :12:19.against the French man. For the second time of asking, these two

:12:19. > :12:27.riders, France on the inside and Chris Hoy on the outside, they roll

:12:28. > :12:37.away again. So much at stake here, they are 1-1. France won one

:12:38. > :12:40.

:12:40. > :12:44.already, Chris Hoy won race two. They know each other so well. The

:12:44. > :12:52.standstill was eventually brought a halt with the firing of the gun,

:12:52. > :13:02.that is why there is this restart, and not good for the nerds. --

:13:02. > :13:09.nerves. From what we have seen this morning Cabrach every race has been

:13:09. > :13:19.won from the front. -- what we have seen this morning, every race. A

:13:19. > :13:20.

:13:20. > :13:27.very astute and tactical opponent from France. The French coach said

:13:27. > :13:36.this morning that he did not think that's his man was in good form,

:13:36. > :13:43.but from what I have seen, he is sprinting as well as ever. Two laps

:13:43. > :13:50.to go, when they hit the line this time. Just to repeat my earlier

:13:50. > :13:54.comments, the winner he will go through to the semi-finals. These

:13:54. > :13:58.are typical sprinting tactics, cat- and-mouse stuff, trying to outwit

:13:58. > :14:03.the opponent when you are in the best position to deliver. It looks

:14:03. > :14:13.like Chris Hoy is going from the inside. He is going to go from the

:14:13. > :14:20.

:14:20. > :14:27.frontier. The big fat, strong as the Forth Bridge. -- big fellow.

:14:27. > :14:33.Kenny come down the side? No, Chris Hoy wins! He goes through to the

:14:33. > :14:38.semi-final! Joy for Chris Hoy, he is in the semi-final in a moment.

:14:38. > :14:44.Jason Kenny has ridden in the minor final, this was his reaction after.

:14:44. > :14:49.First to cross the line, not the race he wanted to be in. No, a

:14:49. > :14:54.major disappointment about going out in the quarter-finals. I had

:14:54. > :14:58.two really good rides. I just hesitated on the second one. It was

:14:58. > :15:05.a pretty poor ride by myself and I'm disappointed with that. Nice to

:15:05. > :15:08.finish on a high. I could feel that he was coming, and others

:15:08. > :15:13.determined to keep in behind me. It was a good race and nice to finish

:15:13. > :15:17.on a win. Very competitive here, the big guns looking very strong,

:15:17. > :15:21.the French, the Germans, perhaps the Australians not looking as good

:15:21. > :15:27.as we have seen in the past. What should we be reading from this

:15:27. > :15:31.competition you? We were talking about this after qualifying, about

:15:32. > :15:36.out of one or two, pretty much everyone is here. We are here with

:15:36. > :15:46.the rest of the world. The Australians have gone out in the

:15:46. > :15:46.

:15:46. > :15:50.first round. They are really strong in the teams Prince, so I am fairly

:15:50. > :15:56.pleased. Iron and a good place and I feel like I am moving foreword

:15:56. > :15:59.and with regards my time, the flying 200 times, hopefully by

:15:59. > :16:04.another and I can't get a bit more and be competitive with Chris and

:16:04. > :16:08.the big boys. Obviously, just one place in the Olympics and it looks

:16:09. > :16:12.like it will BBC new and Chris Hoy, he got the better of things tonight,

:16:12. > :16:16.do you think that this is your last chance, a good performance in

:16:16. > :16:19.Melbourne could get you in the Olympics, or is it all about

:16:19. > :16:24.cutting your losses and concentrated on the team spent?

:16:24. > :16:29.just try to get faster at the moment. Milburn will have a massive

:16:29. > :16:31.impact and if you look at tonight's performance, a lot can happen

:16:31. > :16:35.between now and the World Championships and between now and

:16:36. > :16:41.the Olympics, so we will see what happens. Chris Hoy is looking very

:16:41. > :16:44.good tonight, he qualified first by a big gap, and it is usually a lot

:16:44. > :16:54.closer than that, so it was a very good ride, and he is looking better

:16:54. > :16:58.

:16:58. > :17:04.Olympic medal in the Sprint. Chris Lloyd is against the German who

:17:04. > :17:12.leads the World Cup standings at the moment. How difficult for Jason

:17:12. > :17:18.in a year with so much at stake is it? Absolutely right. I'm finding a

:17:18. > :17:22.difficult to accept he has been dumped out of the competition.

:17:22. > :17:29.Levey is a great champion but I would have thought Jason would have

:17:29. > :17:34.beaten him. Levey was 4th in Beijing and Kenny was 4th. Kerley,

:17:34. > :17:38.the German is in good form. clear to say he has stepped up

:17:39. > :17:47.another level, level. Some of the fastest match sprinting we have

:17:47. > :17:51.seen. It shows the depth of the competition. It makes you wonder,

:17:51. > :17:57.doesn't it? The Germans have got themselves organised because they

:17:57. > :18:07.have got a cracking team in the Sprint squad as well. The semi-

:18:07. > :18:09.

:18:09. > :18:15.final stage. Chris Hoy, just rolling away. His opponent, he has

:18:15. > :18:21.tremendous leg power, as you conceive. Lots of hours are spent

:18:21. > :18:26.in the gym doing squatting. On paper, he's no matter as a pure

:18:26. > :18:33.sprinter Paul Chris Hoy. He is a specialist at starting up the team

:18:33. > :18:40.sprinter. The Germans are in good form. They are. This is the one, he

:18:40. > :18:48.got through with the slowest times. I don't think he's going to be a

:18:49. > :18:55.match for Sir Chris Hoy. No, I agree with that. His credentials,

:18:55. > :19:02.if you looked at his CV, if this is going to come to a standstill, it

:19:02. > :19:09.will be very close from the referee on the inside. No, they are

:19:09. > :19:15.continuing to roll. Sir Chris Hoy, of course, the Olympic champion. He

:19:15. > :19:19.has been world champion, as well. He won it in the same year, 2008.

:19:19. > :19:27.Starting to accelerate now, gathering some height. Rather rough

:19:27. > :19:30.tactics. He will have to watch out for that. He just looked away, he

:19:30. > :19:38.flinched and Sir Chris Hoy said, thank you, I will take the inside

:19:38. > :19:42.route. Now the classic acceleration. A big effort by the German but

:19:42. > :19:50.Chris Hoy beginning to turn on the power. He comes up to the line.

:19:50. > :20:00.It's game over. Race One goes to Chris Hoy. It certainly wasn't easy

:20:00. > :20:01.

:20:01. > :20:06.for him, was it? The German got talked -- caught out. He managed to

:20:06. > :20:11.close half a bike on the outside there. Once Sir Chris Hoy

:20:11. > :20:18.accelerates, it's like trying to catch a runaway train. You can see

:20:18. > :20:24.he has done that twice now. He's getting used to these new boards. A

:20:24. > :20:34.slightly different shape of racetrack. All the riders are

:20:34. > :20:51.

:20:51. > :20:56.adjusting to match the geometry of record, 10.577. A 68 kilometres per

:20:56. > :21:02.hour. That is quite modest from some of the finishing speeds we

:21:02. > :21:12.have seen. Now, these are the competitors before the semi-final

:21:12. > :21:22.

:21:22. > :21:26.opponent, he put Jason Kelly out of the competition. Back in the 2005,

:21:26. > :21:36.in the Vienna, they raced each other for the junior world title

:21:36. > :21:45.and on it that occasion, the France, but at a loss to two Daniel Levy.

:21:45. > :21:52.He is on the best form of his life, that's Clare in this Olympic year.

:21:52. > :21:59.-- clear. He has been inspired by the fact he is a current Team

:21:59. > :22:06.Sprint champion. He rides in the German Team Sprint squad, from the

:22:06. > :22:12.gate. The French, tactically, are very, very good. The Germans are

:22:12. > :22:16.physically good. They have really started to sharpen up the tactical

:22:16. > :22:19.side of it. He needs to get in front by don't think he's going to

:22:19. > :22:27.be allowed to do that. He has been the final of the World

:22:27. > :22:30.Championships on one occasion, 2008, and lost to Chris Hoy. The

:22:30. > :22:39.Frenchman a leading this. He looked around at to see where his opponent

:22:39. > :22:45.was. He is leaving and sell on lot of work to do here. Al! Yes, he

:22:45. > :22:50.stole that with a final lunge for the line, but he left it very late

:22:50. > :22:58.for the he did everything he could there. Tactically, excellent. Cut

:22:58. > :23:05.the German under control. -- kept the German under control. Very late

:23:05. > :23:09.rush for the line by levy. It finally gave him the victory. He

:23:09. > :23:14.asked to see that again. You can see an accelerating into the

:23:14. > :23:20.slipstream. What we have only seen once in this competition is the

:23:20. > :23:30.acceleration in the final few metres. He used those extra metres

:23:30. > :23:34.

:23:34. > :23:38.to get ahead. And you can see are Our man in form is Chris Hoy. A

:23:38. > :23:43.good example there that it you take your eye off him for a moment, you

:23:43. > :23:47.will come a cropper. Yes, once he's on the front, he's like a runaway

:23:47. > :23:51.train and it's very difficult to catch him up. It's a great

:23:51. > :23:55.spectator sport. What do you think of the atmosphere? It's nice to be

:23:55. > :24:01.a spectator. I can't imagine how they are feeling because the noise

:24:01. > :24:05.is phenomenal. The home advantage will definitely be important.

:24:05. > :24:11.Absolutely. You should have been watching last night when it was the

:24:11. > :24:15.elimination in the women's Omnium. Its brands are new to the Olympics

:24:16. > :24:20.in 2012. I suppose it's like the decathlon -- it is brand new to the

:24:20. > :24:25.Olympics. The six events over a couple of days and the winner is

:24:25. > :24:30.awarded one point. The aim of the game was to have the fewest points

:24:30. > :24:40.at the end of the competition and then you are the champion. These

:24:40. > :24:48.

:24:48. > :24:57.cyclist to comes last it is taken out of the game. We joined it at

:24:57. > :25:02.the closing stages. Right at the back now, we have at the Lithuanian.

:25:02. > :25:06.She of the overall leader of the competition and she has moved up at

:25:06. > :25:15.the right time but once again in Germany is in the hot seat at the

:25:15. > :25:19.back. Charlotte Packer, the 28- year-old, it looks like her. Yes,

:25:19. > :25:29.she is eliminated. The pace has gone up quite significantly and it

:25:29. > :25:32.has been good for Laura Trott, who has been middle of the wheels. The

:25:32. > :25:40.high pace has kept them a strong are so the elimination is a

:25:40. > :25:47.selection which will be... She is in danger now! She is in danger,

:25:47. > :25:53.pro-family. The crowd can see it. Come on, Laura! She moves up at the

:25:53. > :25:59.last minute. I think she has survived. I think it was the

:25:59. > :26:05.Lithuanian. It is. That will be quite costly for the Lithuanian.

:26:05. > :26:09.Laura Trott is suffering a bit now. She is just trying to get ahead of

:26:09. > :26:15.the Spaniard. That is a nice mover of. She was lucky to go through the

:26:15. > :26:20.middle on that last elimination. The she has been the world junior

:26:20. > :26:25.Omnium champion, Laura Trott, and she is also a very accomplished

:26:25. > :26:34.rider in all the different disciplines. That was tight. It

:26:34. > :26:39.looked like number five at the moment, Belarus. Yes, it was. She

:26:39. > :26:49.is out that time. If you want a shot at the podium, she needs a

:26:49. > :27:00.

:27:00. > :27:07.good ride there. She needs to stay effort to try to stay in by the

:27:07. > :27:13.Korean. She is out. She is eliminated that time. Laura, she

:27:13. > :27:17.elbowed her way out. She found herself in the box. It's going well

:27:17. > :27:22.for her at the moment. Still in the middle of the pack, sitting in the

:27:22. > :27:28.wheels. I think she was inspired by the golden performance of the

:27:28. > :27:35.pursuit. They have had a world class World Cup her. Laura, you're

:27:35. > :27:40.getting squeezed into the back again. The crowd realise this. She

:27:41. > :27:47.is at the back. Will she survive this time? Oh, I think she does, on

:27:47. > :27:51.the inside, actually. The World Cup leader, number 50 goes out. I think

:27:51. > :27:54.she would have been eliminated for being off the track. She

:27:54. > :28:04.desperately wanted to find a gap and there wasn't a Christina

:28:04. > :28:14.

:28:14. > :28:21.Kirchner there. That's not allowed. here. Come on, Laura. How many more

:28:21. > :28:27.times can she do this? Yes, she survives the game. On the inside,

:28:27. > :28:34.it was a Slovakia. Yes, it's been confirmed. Laura Trott has got to

:28:34. > :28:41.get higher up into the lead. It is too much to keep on sprinting.

:28:41. > :28:45.she is at the back again. She dropped down into the front of the

:28:45. > :28:55.group. She paused and has found herself in a difficult position

:28:55. > :28:55.

:28:55. > :29:03.again. Absorb one this action. Now then, can she do this? It's going

:29:03. > :29:08.to be close. Yes, Belgium, number three, that time. We saw this

:29:08. > :29:14.happening in the men's race, didn't we? It's a real nail-biter, this,

:29:14. > :29:24.isn't it? She needs to move up to third for safety, doesn't she?

:29:24. > :29:26.

:29:26. > :29:33.There's no rest at the moment, it up now. Spain is moving up behind

:29:33. > :29:39.her. She is moving past the American. Here comes the American

:29:39. > :29:45.and Spain have. Laura Trott has the extra power. I think it was America,

:29:45. > :29:51.number 60. Yes. She started the competition a second with 12 points,

:29:51. > :29:57.and now she has been eliminated. She kept the Spaniard behind her.

:29:57. > :30:02.She is now out of the way. Laura Trott is dicing with death at the

:30:02. > :30:09.back with one a rider behind her. Seven it left in his elimination

:30:09. > :30:17.and Laura Trott is following through. Looking to pull through.

:30:17. > :30:20.Yes, good or riding by Laura Trott. Eliminated that time it is Spain.

:30:20. > :30:26.That was where insurance package there. I have to say, she does seem

:30:27. > :30:31.to be a little bit more comfortable than I had given her credit for.

:30:31. > :30:36.It's much more manageable now. She knows she has a little bit of a

:30:36. > :30:42.surge to come around the outside. Let's hope she has got it again.

:30:42. > :30:48.monumental performance of survival. Can she do it again? G is the crowd

:30:48. > :30:55.pleaser but is in the hot seat at the moment. She wants to stay in.

:30:55. > :31:05.Can she do it? Yes, she does it! This time, New Zealand, number 46,

:31:05. > :31:09.

:31:09. > :31:13.and two. I think we might be doing her a discoloured. -- discredit.

:31:13. > :31:19.She is letting the others fight it out on the final bend before she

:31:19. > :31:25.nips board. It is a riveting action. The final race of the second day of

:31:25. > :31:33.the World Cup. Can she do it again? Laura Trott. It here she comes.

:31:33. > :31:43.Trying to get on terms. She does it! France is eliminated. Down into

:31:43. > :31:46.

:31:46. > :31:52.panicking on this band. She is just accelerating for this last 15

:31:52. > :31:58.metres. Will it be enough to get into the final sprint? It could be.

:31:58. > :32:02.You have got to get through this one. Once again, she is gathering

:32:02. > :32:11.herself for a sprint with four strong riders here. Can she survive

:32:11. > :32:15.this one. It would be so close! I think it was the Australian, wait

:32:15. > :32:25.for that to be confirmed. Laura Trott, down to the last three. The

:32:25. > :32:25.

:32:25. > :32:30.penultimate sprint. She has been at quite a few sprints but not sitting

:32:30. > :32:40.in the wind like the other two. They are all on a par now. The

:32:40. > :32:42.

:32:42. > :32:52.world champion is there. Can Laura Trott do it this time? It will be

:32:52. > :32:54.

:32:54. > :32:58.closed on the line! She does it! I think she did it! The Netherlands

:32:58. > :33:07.had been eliminated. Now, it is Laura Trott against the world

:33:07. > :33:11.champion and that will be some sprint. Laura Trott going for the

:33:11. > :33:17.top spot in the elimination race. Laura Trott has risen to the

:33:17. > :33:23.challenge magnificently. She has not been fazed by reputations. Can

:33:23. > :33:31.Laura Trott respond and get round the outside? Here she comes! She

:33:31. > :33:36.wins the elimination! A standing ovation! Unbelievable! What a race!

:33:36. > :33:41.The family are all there waving banners and cheering you on, it

:33:41. > :33:47.must be like living in the shadow of the Olympic Park, it must be a

:33:47. > :33:51.special to be here? It is basically in my back garden. I seem to only

:33:51. > :33:57.when when my parents are here, so I need some Olympic tickets, please!

:33:57. > :34:05.Sadly, I cannot help, but I know a man that can, you must have a few

:34:05. > :34:09.spare tickets?! At things you would be OK! I hope so. People are keen

:34:09. > :34:13.to help her out! At fantastic evening last night, thank you for

:34:13. > :34:18.coming in and joining as, I know you're just back from the United

:34:18. > :34:23.States. It was important to see this. A fantastic atmosphere, and

:34:23. > :34:29.the fact it is in her back garden, and from what I have heard over the

:34:29. > :34:33.last few days, it is the real advantage of the home crowd. As you

:34:33. > :34:39.turn around edges either cyclists on this track, it is full, the

:34:39. > :34:44.atmosphere is incredible. I was here when it was contaminated land,

:34:44. > :34:50.and then you get the concrete cell of a building and the track goes in

:34:50. > :34:54.and all of the technology. A lot of stuff to do, but a dream come true.

:34:54. > :34:59.A lot of people that are fans of this, they say this is their

:34:59. > :35:03.alembics, big as they struggle to get tickets, and this is a good

:35:03. > :35:08.example of the atmosphere we will get. It is a real taste her. We had

:35:08. > :35:15.a fantastic test event programme over the summer, we had the beach

:35:15. > :35:19.volleyball in Horse Guards Parade, we had the showjumping in Greenwich

:35:19. > :35:29.ended as a great test for the Games. Great for the crowd, great TV for

:35:29. > :35:33.us. What does it do for you? tells us a lot. It lets the team

:35:33. > :35:37.look at what is happening, reform what is happening, sit down. We

:35:37. > :35:42.have looked at the field of play, we have got 1,000 people working

:35:42. > :35:47.here, both volunteers and paid work for us, they will want to download

:35:47. > :35:51.their experiences with results systems, crowd flows, obviously,

:35:51. > :35:55.the flow of the athletes through the arena, we will sit down in the

:35:55. > :36:00.next few days. If you look at the test event for the marathon last

:36:00. > :36:03.May, 10 minutes later, I was sitting beside the road with the

:36:03. > :36:08.marathon runners talking about the gradient and the corners and where

:36:08. > :36:12.the kerbstones are. Lots of greater message is this weekend, one small

:36:12. > :36:20.negative, they resent a toilet close enough for that contestants

:36:20. > :36:29.before they go on the track. A sure we will fix that! Lets talk to lose

:36:29. > :36:35.the, I'm sure you have fond memories of Olympic glory. What

:36:35. > :36:39.advice do you have four Lizzie Armistead? You have got really good

:36:40. > :36:44.Federation, really smart organisers, and the coach will steer you well.

:36:44. > :36:49.The lesson for me was to try and absorb as early as you can, the

:36:49. > :36:52.enormity of it. It is not a World Cup, it is not a European

:36:53. > :36:57.Championship, it is so much bigger and the pressure will be so much

:36:57. > :37:02.greater and I am not doing you any favours! You'll have a massive

:37:02. > :37:08.advantage of a home crowd. It is just a massive. The whole thing is

:37:08. > :37:13.so much bigger. I did not expect the enormity of it. It took me

:37:13. > :37:18.probably best part of three or four days when I got into the village to

:37:18. > :37:23.understand exactly what I was competing with. You have rammed up

:37:23. > :37:33.the nerves that little bit for her! How do you feel after that? Never

:37:33. > :37:33.

:37:33. > :37:38.has! -- nervous! What is the mood light inside the British camp now,

:37:38. > :37:47.a lot of people were saying in the past it is not 2012 yet, but now 20

:37:47. > :37:54.trial busier! People are starting up wrapped it up. People have been

:37:54. > :37:57.very pace since and now it is as far everybody back their plans are,

:37:58. > :38:03.they are seeing the fruits of their plans year. A still a lot of work

:38:04. > :38:08.to be done, still people working here, people working at 9am on the

:38:08. > :38:12.building site, everything will definitely be finished? Yes, a lot

:38:12. > :38:17.of work to do. We have cost the broadcast centre there, we still

:38:17. > :38:24.have the studios to build, we still have temporary venues to put in. We

:38:24. > :38:29.have to be ready. When they have you picking up a shovel, we will

:38:29. > :38:33.know we are in trouble! I'd be there! You could tell by looking at

:38:33. > :38:38.the village's own, this is well and truly finished and we have seen

:38:38. > :38:48.world records being smashed, visits the building, the tracks, is it the

:38:48. > :38:49.

:38:50. > :38:56.This is a beautiful building. When you come outside after a few days

:38:56. > :39:01.in here, you are reminded how cold it is. It is topical in there.

:39:01. > :39:05.is an air locked in there. If you come through, I will tell you why.

:39:05. > :39:10.We are in the buffer zone, the temperature differential between

:39:10. > :39:13.cold outside and the warmth in there. They have got heaters

:39:13. > :39:18.blowing up here to make sure it is hot all the time. In the timed

:39:18. > :39:26.events, they make sure that both doors are not open at the same time

:39:26. > :39:34.so that the air flow doesn't last destroy the environment. When you

:39:34. > :39:42.come inside, you can feel the heat. Why is it important for them for it

:39:42. > :39:46.to be warm in here? All have the energy is used to move the error to

:39:46. > :39:52.the way. At present at the energy is moving the air out of the wave.

:39:52. > :39:58.I have seen world records go, and that is why it. Keeping it as hot

:39:58. > :40:06.as possible is very important. People are levelling the chance to

:40:06. > :40:12.wear T-shirts in the middle of February. We are in the middle of

:40:12. > :40:16.the track now, and you really get the sense of the atmosphere. Yes,

:40:16. > :40:24.high that activity, competitions going on all the time. It is very

:40:24. > :40:26.accessible, very few sports you can get this close to. When you see

:40:26. > :40:32.this mental and physical preparation for a race, do you miss

:40:32. > :40:36.it? Not at all. I remember breaking a world record a long time ago,

:40:36. > :40:42.getting off, and saying either never have a number on my back

:40:42. > :40:47.again. It is easier to commentate than to do it! A good way to bow

:40:47. > :40:56.out! Let's walk around here and give people an idea of how steep

:40:56. > :41:04.the banking is at a track cycling venue. The angle is essential.

:41:04. > :41:08.is 42 degrees, it is tuned because of the transition. The riders have

:41:08. > :41:13.to be at a right angle to the track. They are going so fast, they lean

:41:13. > :41:16.into the track. Is there anything fundamentally different from this

:41:16. > :41:20.track and other attacks, because somebody will come out with

:41:20. > :41:26.different reasons for being faster. Athletes wonder why this is the

:41:26. > :41:30.fastest track in the world. It is made by a man called Ron Webber

:41:30. > :41:35.makes most of the tracks in the world. It is probably built by the

:41:35. > :41:39.same carpenters, it is not the track bed is fast as were the

:41:39. > :41:44.building itself, it is the environment. Controlling the

:41:44. > :41:48.environment and the air flow. That is all muttered. That is what makes

:41:48. > :41:53.the difference. They are referring to this as the Siberian Express

:41:53. > :41:57.because it is made of Siberian pine. Down here, this is one very

:41:57. > :42:01.different thing, this is the finish line. It looks like any other

:42:01. > :42:06.finish line, but there is a reason why it is different to how any

:42:06. > :42:11.other. The finish line is much further back normally, but this is

:42:11. > :42:15.at the end of the straight, so it means that the riders have an extra

:42:15. > :42:20.five metres. Normally, the first person around the last bend is

:42:20. > :42:23.likely to win, but now it is likely that at leat charge will work and

:42:23. > :42:28.it would change the way racers are won. People have been taking

:42:28. > :42:34.advantage of that already. Yes, there were some laid charges

:42:34. > :42:41.already. You have seen some of these, what you think of this

:42:41. > :42:46.place? I like it. The best bit is it is much closer to my house!

:42:46. > :42:53.is good! A quick train rides to the Olympic Games! And never realised

:42:53. > :42:58.how much technology was used to create this room, and Chris Hoy

:42:58. > :43:02.said last night he has never been faster on a bike than tonight. How

:43:02. > :43:06.important is that everything is perfect? It is very important

:43:06. > :43:09.because it makes a difference to the speed. If everyone is in the

:43:09. > :43:16.same boat, it does not make a difference, but it is horrible

:43:16. > :43:21.racing on a cold track. It is all a bit more comfortable. We must talk

:43:21. > :43:25.about the legacy, we know that the Newport Velodrome is still used,

:43:25. > :43:29.the same with Manchester, we're hoping that for years to come, the

:43:29. > :43:34.space would be well used by young cyclists being empowered to buy

:43:34. > :43:38.what they have seen in a few months' time? And that as the track,

:43:38. > :43:44.we have got be an axe and also we have got mountain bikes or command

:43:44. > :43:49.of the road course as well. It has always been a centre for cycling,

:43:49. > :43:54.so I think not just the fellow drama, but I also think the

:43:54. > :43:59.supplementary legacy around it will make its own world-class centre.

:43:59. > :44:04.Busy week coming up, lots going on, the diving tomorrow. Yes, lots of

:44:04. > :44:12.test events. A simple analogy, you talk about the competitors and

:44:12. > :44:16.Chris Hoy made the right point they helped us with the design of the

:44:16. > :44:19.Velodrome, but the golden rule is, you never want to confide anything

:44:20. > :44:25.in a championship that you have not confronted a 1,000 times on the

:44:25. > :44:29.training track before, that is why testing is so important here.

:44:29. > :44:33.has all helped Chris Hoy, but it is much more to do with talent than

:44:33. > :44:38.the weight that the boards are laid out. I'm sure you will stay and

:44:38. > :44:48.watch the drama unfolds today, right now, Chris Hoy against

:44:48. > :45:01.

:45:01. > :45:07.Germany for a place in the men's Chris Hoy of Louis literally on

:45:07. > :45:11.fire. He will settle for the write- off for the bronze, I would think.

:45:11. > :45:21.It is hard to see what he could possibly do. Chris Hoy are in good

:45:21. > :45:26.

:45:26. > :45:32.through. The face of concentration. Chris Hoy, 35 years of age, he has

:45:32. > :45:42.got his race face on, keen as ever. Their coach for the world champion

:45:42. > :46:05.

:46:05. > :46:10.track. The German will lead off this time. I think that front

:46:10. > :46:15.position is the one which has been coveted. Chris Harvey has a defined

:46:15. > :46:22.his tactics, getting used to to the geometry of this new track. --

:46:22. > :46:27.Chris Hoy. I think, in the last two rounds, he has got tactics together

:46:27. > :46:32.which is suiting him well. He likes to be in the second position. Takes

:46:32. > :46:35.that moment of a surprise. A lap and a half to go to get into the

:46:35. > :46:44.lead and then slowly accelerating, giving no opportunity to the

:46:44. > :46:50.opposition. He amplified his power, strength and form. In the semi-

:46:50. > :46:55.final. I should say, in the quarter-finals. It's been a hard

:46:55. > :47:05.ride to get here, though. The depth of the strength of the competition

:47:05. > :47:15.

:47:15. > :47:23.Hoy. He is going to lead this one out for the whole of a lap. Has he

:47:23. > :47:31.got the power to get up to the back? Here it comes. Here is coming

:47:31. > :47:41.right past him. Clenched fist. To Ivan 0! He goes through to a final.

:47:41. > :47:47.

:47:47. > :47:54.10.2. That is as fast as we have it ran up the slipstream on the

:47:54. > :47:59.back straight. This is astonishing by Chris Hoy. He is getting the

:47:59. > :48:03.measure of this track now, isn't he? As they come into the back

:48:03. > :48:09.straight, he starts to put down the power. He has accelerated with the

:48:09. > :48:14.benefit of the slipstream, and is already going a, it's a per hour

:48:14. > :48:20.faster. He knew, as he came around the bend, he had that one. Chris

:48:20. > :48:28.Hoy, an absolute master class. These images show you how we'd just

:48:29. > :48:38.stormed past the German. Look at the advantage on the line. Unclear

:48:39. > :48:39.

:48:39. > :48:47.bike length. Sportingly acknowledging each other. -- a

:48:47. > :48:50.clear bike length. 10.293. That is quick. I often wonder what the next

:48:50. > :48:59.semi-finalists think as they come on the track after a rider like

:48:59. > :49:09.that. It must be unnerving. This is the man to beat, Maximilian levy.

:49:09. > :49:14.

:49:14. > :49:21.He is absolutely punter on the form find an answer to the German's

:49:21. > :49:25.speed and strength -- man. The question that has not been answered

:49:25. > :49:33.yet is how well they cope with the volume of sprinting they have had

:49:33. > :49:38.to do? Very, very fast rides. Each one hard fought. Who will have the

:49:38. > :49:43.endurance to get through the competition until the end? He's in

:49:43. > :49:52.the form of his life. Hugely impressive performance by Chris Hoy.

:49:52. > :50:00.Now then, are beginning to see this going to three? Or will it be two

:50:00. > :50:06.straight? 11 years younger than at Chris Hoy, as a matter of interest.

:50:06. > :50:11.24 years of age. I think it's amazing we have 6,000 people here.

:50:11. > :50:17.A packed house, and how quiet it is right now, as people are watching

:50:17. > :50:27.and waiting for the competition to start. All the speculation about

:50:27. > :50:29.

:50:29. > :50:37.this than a drome. -- velodrome. The Frenchman looks like he wants

:50:37. > :50:42.to lead this one out. Tall for a sprinter. He's looking to the right.

:50:42. > :50:51.He nearly got caught napping there. But he realised where the German

:50:51. > :50:55.was. Levy looks for the inside position. He stalled the German

:50:55. > :51:05.momentarily and that could be quite costly. The French manner coming

:51:05. > :51:10.into the closing strides. -- manner. Oh, it was so close! -- man.

:51:10. > :51:14.think he has got it. I think the French man may have stolen that.

:51:14. > :51:24.was right on the line. I'm not sure the judge will be happy about what

:51:24. > :51:30.happened there. I think he'd just got it there. Very, very close.

:51:30. > :51:36.Levy from Germany wins 2-0 to go to the final. He will now meet Sir

:51:36. > :51:46.Chris Hoy. I think he was dependent on which side of the line you were

:51:46. > :51:54.

:51:54. > :51:59.does it? Fantastic performance. Yes, he's clearly very confident,

:51:59. > :52:06.in control. The noise of the crowd I think are pushed him down that

:52:06. > :52:10.straight. In the next race, what do you think? I'm always going to say

:52:11. > :52:20.Sir Chris Hoy. In a moment, it's all about the Sprint and then the

:52:21. > :52:21.

:52:21. > :52:25.men's Sprint final but what about the endurance runners? But Tweed

:52:25. > :52:35.from one other races said he's back for the racing because he is sick

:52:35. > :52:51.

:52:51. > :52:58.Four years ago in Beijing, the men don't feel any older or wiser than

:52:58. > :53:02.I did in Beijing, I guess. I have got more experience. It was a big

:53:02. > :53:09.experience for both of us. I think we can take that into the next six

:53:09. > :53:16.months. Me and aired are now seen as the elder statesman, really. --

:53:16. > :53:23.Ed. This year Thomas is fully committed to the track, so what

:53:23. > :53:28.does he bring to the party? A gold medallist. The fastest ever time in

:53:28. > :53:36.the Team Pursuit. I think it's very important. He brings us confidence.

:53:36. > :53:42.He is a leader. He's bringing it to us what he brought in Beijing, a

:53:42. > :53:46.strong man approach, the one they looked up to. There young guys will

:53:46. > :53:51.see Geraint Thomas coming in and could only take strength from that.

:53:51. > :53:58.Big shoes to fill that every bitter power will be required to knock

:53:58. > :54:03.Australia offer the top step of the podium. I think they want to get a

:54:03. > :54:09.psychological advantage on as, as we would like to on them. It will

:54:09. > :54:14.be a battle royal. Going to Melbourne again, another chance to

:54:14. > :54:20.get that slight edge, if you like. Yes, the world championships are an

:54:20. > :54:24.exciting prospect. There is an Ashes scenario there. Unfortunately,

:54:24. > :54:28.I don't want to be dragged into that. I just want them to be the

:54:28. > :54:35.best they can be and not worry about the Australians. But they

:54:35. > :54:38.will have to do it without a Bradley Wiggins,... I don't think

:54:38. > :54:44.you can rule him out of the team pursued. Should the opportunity

:54:44. > :54:49.arise, and we need somebody to come into the squad, you can never rule

:54:50. > :54:56.Bradley out but at this moment in time, it's fair to say individual

:54:56. > :55:03.time-trial will be his event. world record in Beijing. The same

:55:03. > :55:09.for London? Maybe there won't be a world record because of the format

:55:09. > :55:16.but, without a doubt, people will be able to do it, I think. Yes, we

:55:16. > :55:24.will have to go quick. In a moment, the gold medal raised but at the

:55:24. > :55:33.moment, they are fighting for the medal raise between New Zealand and

:55:33. > :55:39.Belgium. Belgium have made one change from the qualification. On

:55:39. > :55:45.paper, the Belgian team is a 2.5 seconds slower than the Kiwis, so

:55:45. > :55:51.it should be academic for New Zealand to get bronze. New Zealand

:55:51. > :55:58.ahead of Belgium but at the moment, they have them pegged. It's a very

:55:58. > :56:04.close. They are looking very clean up the moment. It's a very warm

:56:04. > :56:11.here. I think we can expect some fast times her. World history of

:56:11. > :56:15.these countries. Two bronze medals won by New Zealand. Belgium have

:56:15. > :56:20.never won a medal of any colour in the Team Pursuit, and they are a

:56:20. > :56:26.very strong nation. To see Belgium coming into this is very good and

:56:26. > :56:31.at the moment, they are stretching the New Zealanders. They are

:56:31. > :56:33.looking very good and we heard a rumour the Belgians have up this

:56:33. > :56:43.book for Friday because they did not think they would get into this

:56:43. > :56:50.

:56:50. > :56:57.tempo, New Zealand and trying to get away from Belgium. 1.1 second a

:56:57. > :57:07.deficit. That's a lot of distance on the track. It doesn't sound like

:57:07. > :57:11.much. But it's an awful lot to pull back. The time is always taken on

:57:11. > :57:15.the third rider to cross the line. It is quite customary for wannabe

:57:16. > :57:22.riders just to drop off in the closing couple of laps, but both

:57:22. > :57:27.teams are still a complete. Zealand have moved to three and it

:57:27. > :57:32.has caught them out because their third man didn't spot they had lost

:57:32. > :57:36.someone. Luckily they managed to get back into the wheels. Another

:57:36. > :57:40.30 metres further forward and they will be in the slipstream pulls up

:57:40. > :57:48.they are looking good, four seconds faster than their qualification

:57:48. > :57:51.ride, the New Zealanders, who are now down to three. The advantage is

:57:51. > :58:01.increasing all the time and New Zealand had the Belgians in their

:58:01. > :58:06.

:58:06. > :58:15.because they have to stay together now. The national record for New

:58:15. > :58:20.Zealand is a 3.55. They are not going to do that. One lap to go.

:58:20. > :58:27.The team from New Zealand are going to collect the bronze. A perfect

:58:27. > :58:37.scenario. They are closing down. The bronze medal goes to the men in

:58:37. > :58:45.

:58:45. > :58:55.minutes, and New Zealand had done that and I think we can expect

:58:55. > :58:59.in the past few months and congratulations to New Zealand.

:59:00. > :59:04.Let's turn to the gold medal race and particularly Great Britain.

:59:04. > :59:13.Geraint Thomas has spent a lot of time road racing. How important is

:59:13. > :59:17.His contribution to the team is vital, really. He's been off the

:59:17. > :59:21.road from last couple of years and has strength other guys are lacking,

:59:21. > :59:26.so they can call on him. Also to keep the team together off the

:59:26. > :59:33.track, I think. It's harder wedded to someone like Bradley Wiggins.

:59:33. > :59:38.Yes, it is. A -- it's hard to lose someone like Bradley Wiggins.

:59:38. > :59:43.always good to have options. They are gearing up for this race but

:59:43. > :59:47.this is not the definitive line-up for 2012. They will be keen to show

:59:48. > :59:55.they can do it, as a unit. The Team Pursuit squad for the men is about

:59:55. > :59:58.eight people. These four are in form at the moment. There's a month

:59:58. > :00:08.to go into the world championships. The line-up could change before

:00:08. > :00:09.

:00:09. > :00:13.them. Geraint Thomas there. How painful is this? Horrendous. You're

:00:13. > :00:19.not going hard enough but it's not hurting you. OK, Great Britain

:00:19. > :00:24.against Australia. Britain are going to allow the New Zealanders

:00:24. > :00:34.to do the talking. -- Australians to do the talking but they will do

:00:34. > :00:40.

:00:40. > :00:46.the walking. What do you think of squad for Britain that will start

:00:46. > :00:52.in the back straight. They were 0. 56 slower than Australia. But this

:00:52. > :01:02.is the contest the crowd have come to see. The team of Australia will

:01:02. > :01:13.

:01:13. > :01:19.be led by Jack Bobridge. Britain are led by Ed Clancy. So two riders

:01:19. > :01:27.in the British team survivors from the Olympic games in Beijing and

:01:27. > :01:34.that is Clancy and Thomas. This will be a real eager contest. You

:01:34. > :01:41.can expect Jack bob bridge to do a lap and three quarters. He is the

:01:41. > :01:47.world record holder. Just 0.56 between them. This will with a --

:01:47. > :01:52.be a great contest. I have my eye on the coaches. There has been talk

:01:52. > :02:01.from the Australians, but the Brits have said they will let their legs

:02:01. > :02:07.do the talk. Now the coach is showing them they're up on schedule

:02:07. > :02:15.already. 0.8 quicker than Australia in the early stages. They have gone

:02:15. > :02:20.off at an astonishing rate. Australia have pulled back 0.3 of a

:02:20. > :02:26.second. They're back on terms and starting to come back. They're

:02:26. > :02:32.travelling quicker than the British team. We can expect to see Thomas

:02:32. > :02:37.do some extended turns to give the others a longer ride.

:02:37. > :02:42.astonishing opening kilometre. That is inside world record pace. I have

:02:42. > :02:46.said these conditions could be fast and New Zealand have set the mark

:02:46. > :02:53.by going subfour minutes. We could see that world record challenge

:02:53. > :02:59.tonight. But who by? Beth teams in perfect formation. -- both teams.

:02:59. > :03:03.They are matched so evenly and this could be the world and the Olympic

:03:03. > :03:10.final. The crowd are going ballistic. It is Australia who have

:03:10. > :03:15.moved into the lead and they're edging away from the British team,

:03:15. > :03:19.but they're finding it hard. this kind of pace, it rally is

:03:19. > :03:29.hurting. The next split will be the two kilometre mark, the half way

:03:29. > :03:30.

:03:30. > :03:37.point. Australia are ahead. They are almost 0.5 inside the world

:03:37. > :03:42.record pace. This is an unbelieve able struggle. The British team are

:03:42. > :03:49.over half a second behind. So they're cool customer and are going

:03:49. > :03:54.to wait until the final kilometre. 0.6 of a second off the pace of

:03:54. > :04:01.Australia. Now it is 0.8. Australia are starting to edge away from

:04:01. > :04:06.Britain. But have they gone too fast? This pace will take its toll.

:04:06. > :04:10.It only take one man to lose a wheel and it is over. It has come

:04:10. > :04:15.back to just inside a second. Is that because Australia are tying up,

:04:15. > :04:25.or have Britain applied more pressure? The Australian team have

:04:25. > :04:27.

:04:27. > :04:32.one very strong man in Jack bob bridge -- Bobridge. Britain are 0.2

:04:32. > :04:40.inside the world record. They still inside that pace. But Britain look

:04:40. > :04:45.at this, they're going well. 0.7 of a second separating the two. This

:04:45. > :04:49.will be a fantastic race in the Olympics. The Australian team have

:04:49. > :04:54.a weak man. Can the British team pull it out. Thomas has gone in

:04:54. > :05:03.third position and they have to make amends. We're into the closing

:05:03. > :05:07.two lapse and Britain have lost a lieder. They have lost one rider.

:05:07. > :05:15.Now, Australia are still all together as they come heading back

:05:15. > :05:23.to the line and the bell. What is the time going to be? Here they

:05:23. > :05:28.come to the line. 3.56.615. Australia take the Gold Medal and

:05:28. > :05:36.that is the third quickest time ever. What a ride. That was a

:05:36. > :05:40.fantastic event to watch. It was in fact Steven Byrd who couldn't hold

:05:40. > :05:45.the win. And they had to close the gaps around him. They did well to

:05:45. > :05:49.manage that. But what -- that is what happens at these speeds A

:05:49. > :05:54.fantastic display by Australia. They went out there, they didn't

:05:55. > :06:01.panic and finished with all four men. So the Australians then

:06:01. > :06:08.winning the gold, as you look at the starting images of their lead

:06:08. > :06:13.off man, Jack Bobridge, the individual world record holder.

:06:13. > :06:17.can see the definition in the legs, they in great shape. Everyone has

:06:17. > :06:21.decided, this is the World Championship here. They came here

:06:21. > :06:28.and treated it like that, the crowd and the athletes have. This was

:06:28. > :06:34.really important. Just when you look at the race, the kind of pace

:06:34. > :06:41.that was being set from the start, with an opening kilometre by both

:06:41. > :06:47.teams of 1.02 and Britain leading in the first four laps and within

:06:47. > :06:52.world record pace. Was that too quick to go away? I think they rode

:06:52. > :07:02.as good as they have got. Ed Clancy did go out faster, but they had to.

:07:02. > :07:05.It was close, Dan Hunt was walking the line. So o' -- so clearly they

:07:05. > :07:09.decided what they were capable, but on this occasion the Australian

:07:09. > :07:13.were faster. The tables were turned at the midway point. The lead

:07:13. > :07:17.stretched to almost 0.7 of a second in favour of Australia and that

:07:17. > :07:22.takes a lot of pulling back. think the danger we are Australia

:07:22. > :07:27.is Bobridge is so strong, that he could have pulled that team apart.

:07:27. > :07:30.But they kept their cool and used this occasion in the Olympic

:07:30. > :07:33.stadium to get used to the track and ride at that speed against the

:07:33. > :07:38.people they're likely to be up against in the final. In the

:07:38. > :07:42.qualification and in the final, Britain lost a man each time. Is

:07:42. > :07:45.that something cob concerned about? I can see a lot of room for

:07:46. > :07:50.improvement, as can they. That is not criticism. We have to remember,

:07:50. > :07:55.although it feels like a World Championship, it is a World Cup.

:07:55. > :07:59.They're at a stage leading to the Olympics, the Australians looked

:08:00. > :08:08.like a very well drilled team. It is hard to see how much more they

:08:08. > :08:13.can do. Well the time, only two pursuits have ever been quicker.

:08:13. > :08:17.Britain posting both those times in the Manchester World Cup in 2009

:08:17. > :08:21.and the world record set in Beijing in the Olympics. We have waited a

:08:21. > :08:26.long time for that team pursuit clash and it was well worth waiting

:08:26. > :08:30.for. What contest that was. We have said for two years that this

:08:30. > :08:34.competition would be close and it has been hard fought. We're almost

:08:34. > :08:40.there and that is what we can expect to see at the Olympics, a

:08:40. > :08:44.very close fight. We just want it to be the other way. I understand

:08:44. > :08:50.that the men who have just that the men who have just

:08:50. > :08:55.entertained us are with Jill. Jack Bobridge has been congratulating

:08:55. > :09:02.you on your ride. You are pleased just to stay upright? Yeah. With

:09:02. > :09:05.about two laps to go, I ran into Pete and I wanted to high five the

:09:05. > :09:10.crowd. You know we're a bit disappointed, because we want the

:09:10. > :09:14.win. But looking at the time, we haven't gone that fast in a while.

:09:14. > :09:20.I haven't ridden with these boys much. There is a lot for us to work

:09:20. > :09:25.on. We can be happy and the way we all just got stuck in and gave it

:09:25. > :09:28.everything and the crowd was crazy. We have all been stay saying, it is

:09:28. > :09:34.unbelievable the atmosphere. Without that we would have lost

:09:34. > :09:40.probably by ten seconds. Big slews to fill, taking in Bradley Wiggins'

:09:40. > :09:46.role. How much more do you think you can bring to the team?

:09:46. > :09:50.tonnes. I was the weakest rider today. Beijing, you know Ed will

:09:50. > :09:54.say he was stronger, but I reckon I was stronger in Beijing. But we

:09:54. > :09:59.have a lot more time and it's February, the Olympics aren't until

:09:59. > :10:07.August. There is more races to go. It will be close. Those boys are

:10:07. > :10:11.all young and are all improving. Thank you. Steven, Jack Bobridge

:10:12. > :10:16.has that about to set that pace. That was an accomplished

:10:17. > :10:23.performance? Yes to do all that work, he is a real talent. That is

:10:23. > :10:29.why he's world recorder holder I suppose. But it is the World Cup,

:10:29. > :10:34.we have a long way to improve. I believe that we will be knocking a

:10:34. > :10:38.fair numb be of seconds from that. Ed, take nothing from your

:10:38. > :10:42.performance, that was a sub four final. But it shows where the

:10:42. > :10:46.Australians are, can they be caught? Yes I think so. First

:10:46. > :10:52.things first. We never said we would set the world on fire here. I

:10:52. > :10:57.think we have done two good rides. And I think when they stop Mezing

:10:57. > :11:05.around on the road we can look forward to getting more from those

:11:05. > :11:09.guys. -- messing around. I think we have more to come and for sure, I

:11:09. > :11:15.mean we broke the world record in Manchester in the last Olympics

:11:15. > :11:20.cycle pretty much at this date. The Aussies are a force to be reckoned

:11:20. > :11:26.with, but we have more to come. finally, the commitment between now

:11:26. > :11:31.and the world champ ships in Melbourne and the Olympics. How do

:11:31. > :11:36.you feel the team is performing? think we performed well. We had a

:11:36. > :11:39.schedule of 56 and we did it. We can't be disappointed. That is

:11:40. > :11:44.where we're at. The Aussie just were stronger on the day. In term

:11:44. > :11:48.of how much we can improve, I think we have got so far to come yet. I

:11:48. > :11:52.haven't even raced on the road yet this year, that is where I get most

:11:52. > :11:58.of my strength from. Once we get into the worlds and the Olympics,

:11:58. > :12:02.as a team and me personally, we will hopefully knock a few more

:12:02. > :12:06.seconds off. Ed you were inside world record pace for the first

:12:06. > :12:09.kilometre. Frplgt That probably didn't help. I'm sure the Aussies

:12:09. > :12:18.weren't far behind. Were they in front. I think you were just in

:12:18. > :12:25.front. Yeah, we didn't plan to go that quick. No, it proves we have

:12:26. > :12:30.got it in in there. We need more endurance and ewe have plenty of

:12:30. > :12:39.speed there. When everyone's focused on the track we can go

:12:39. > :12:45.places. Thank you. Bring on the words! COMMENTATOR: There is still

:12:45. > :12:50.words! COMMENTATOR: There is still a buzz in the arena after that.

:12:50. > :12:55.What a sensational ride. Now we're in the first of the semi finals of

:12:55. > :13:00.women's keirin. And at this stage the first three riders will

:13:00. > :13:06.progress. Britain has representation here. We have Jess

:13:06. > :13:11.Varnish. She has had an eventful ride and come through heat and is

:13:12. > :13:16.rising to the challenge. Since she's won that gold and seat world

:13:16. > :13:23.record for the team sprint, she seem to have lifted her game a gear.

:13:23. > :13:27.She has had a great World Cup, has to be said, with that world record.

:13:27. > :13:32.Sprinting well in the keirin. I think she is rider better than she

:13:32. > :13:39.ever has. She doesn't have to win here. Got to be in the top three

:13:39. > :13:45.though. And I think Wang is the wheel to be on. She is very strong

:13:45. > :13:54.in the competition. 21 years of age, Varnish. Getting into this top

:13:54. > :14:01.flight. The rest of the line up is Canada, China, another Chinese

:14:01. > :14:06.rider, a Lithuanian and one from the Ukraine. The motorbike lifts

:14:06. > :14:13.that tempo up to 45 kilometres an hour and then drops off the track

:14:13. > :14:18.with two and a half laps to go. Now it is a full on sprint. This is

:14:18. > :14:27.where tactics begind -- begin to unfold. It is the World Cup leader

:14:27. > :14:32.on the front in that grey strip. The world record holder for the 5

:14:32. > :14:42.hundred. Varnish is second. The early attack by China. They have

:14:42. > :14:44.

:14:44. > :14:48.already won a gold. Leading it out is the European sprint champion.

:14:48. > :14:55.Varnish sees the move and has responded. Good riding. First three

:14:55. > :15:00.go into the final. She is fourth on the line. What a shame that was.

:15:00. > :15:05.She is just squeezed ow. She came down the back straight with some

:15:05. > :15:09.speed and I gave you a thumbs up. She was coming round at such a pace,

:15:09. > :15:17.I thought she has got herself into the top that he. That was a late

:15:17. > :15:22.surge by the Chinese rider. And she has just faded towards the end.

:15:22. > :15:28.read the race perfectly and it was that last surge to line that denied

:15:28. > :15:38.her a place in the ride off for the medals. She will be in the minor

:15:38. > :15:48.

:15:48. > :15:54.the Keirin that you can't lay off to get the motorbike go. She did

:15:54. > :16:01.not do that. I was looking at the judges to see it they were going to

:16:01. > :16:07.relegate her, because you must stay with a motorbike. There was a clear

:16:07. > :16:14.two laps there. Never know, may get some judges' decisions coming up.

:16:14. > :16:20.This is the back straight in the last lap. Varnish is still third.

:16:20. > :16:29.The World Cup leader in the great, that's where the problem developed.

:16:29. > :16:36.-- Gray. Varnish, slipping back a bit. Well, I think they give them a

:16:36. > :16:46.little bit of leeway. The rules say you must be on the track. The line-

:16:46. > :16:49.

:16:49. > :16:59.up being introduced to the crowd Anna Meares from Australia is in

:18:09. > :18:11.

:18:11. > :18:15.The revelation of the competition so far is the Hong Kong rider, Li.

:18:15. > :18:25.She is riding exceptionally well. It's a new name for me, but she is

:18:25. > :18:35.

:18:35. > :18:41.certainly strong. She is third from Sprint for bronze. Anna Meares, at

:18:41. > :18:51.the back, biding her time. There drone of the motorbike beginning to

:18:51. > :18:57.lift. Sanchez trying to take advantage of the fact they had two

:18:57. > :19:07.in the same heat. Sometimes it's counter-productive. Team tactics

:19:07. > :19:08.

:19:08. > :19:14.often works against you. Yes. think we will see them died -- dive

:19:14. > :19:22.down the inside when they come. Sanchez is the specialist when it

:19:22. > :19:31.comes to the Keirin race. Starting to lay off the motorbike a little

:19:31. > :19:37.bit now. They are not allowed to do that. 2.5 to go. Pendleton, so

:19:37. > :19:42.experienced, looking to see where any challenge is going to come from.

:19:42. > :19:48.500 metres remaining to decide who the three are to go into the final.

:19:48. > :19:54.Here comes the attack. Anna Meares is making a move and also at the

:19:54. > :19:58.front, Victoria Pendleton. She will be happy being on the front for the

:19:58. > :20:07.our lap. As they go into the back straight, it's beginning to sort

:20:07. > :20:12.itself out. Al, the Dutch woman has gone down. It is up Pendleton! She

:20:12. > :20:22.takes it. Anna Meares second, I would say and possibly Hong Kong,

:20:22. > :20:22.

:20:23. > :20:30.third. It could be Sanchez, who got third. Luckily the crashed a bike

:20:30. > :20:35.it did not affect anybody else. She looks to be relatively and injured.

:20:35. > :20:41.-- not injured. Pendleton, riding from the fund, it was the right

:20:41. > :20:51.thing to do for her. -- a front. Anna Meares may be in good form. I

:20:51. > :20:55.

:20:55. > :21:05.think she'd touched at the wheel just lift the weight off the front

:21:05. > :21:05.

:21:05. > :21:10.wheel. She is back up now. A pretty innocuous fall for her, being

:21:10. > :21:17.annexed BMX champion. You can't believe they just walk away from

:21:17. > :21:26.that. It's a victory for Victoria Pendleton from the world champion,

:21:26. > :21:29.Disappointment for Jess Varnish. She will not make it through to the

:21:30. > :21:35.final but Victoria Pendleton and Anna Meares will continue their

:21:35. > :21:45.rivalry this weekend. As we look at this, nice and slow, you can see

:21:45. > :21:46.

:21:46. > :21:52.it's a very, very difficult event Yes, she wrote from the front. She

:21:52. > :21:58.took the race on and it worked for her. I was hoping to see the

:21:58. > :22:05.accident and the incident. This is a brutal sport. Yes, exactly. It's

:22:05. > :22:09.part and parcel of track racing. As you can see, she is sliding away. I

:22:09. > :22:17.think it's a lot easier than crashing on the road. Yes, the

:22:17. > :22:22.friction burns will be horrible. Sanchez there, showing, she is

:22:22. > :22:26.pretty brutal. Let's go back to the team pursued was up what did you

:22:26. > :22:31.make of the men's performance? thought they rode very well. It was

:22:31. > :22:33.a tight race all the way to the line. I didn't think they expected

:22:33. > :22:38.that and thought the Australians would be miles ahead but they

:22:38. > :22:41.weren't. It's clear that they are looking up the bigger picture. The

:22:41. > :22:49.first thing they said was they were happy with the time and it's just

:22:49. > :22:54.the start of their journey. It's always about a team performance and

:22:54. > :23:00.aiming for their schedules. It was a good performance. In the women's

:23:00. > :23:06.heats, they got caught towards the end. We can join the race as the

:23:06. > :23:15.Australian stock to fight back. Since Beijing, when team to be set

:23:15. > :23:23.the record, they are taking a lead from us. -- Team GB. Yes, it's very

:23:23. > :23:30.pushing you on and the sensation is going to be difficult and different

:23:30. > :23:38.to what you feel in training. You will be on tired legs. But, you

:23:38. > :23:45.know, they went attach too fast. It was a good race. But the British

:23:45. > :23:51.are fully focused on the track. The Australians were in the same boat.

:23:51. > :23:55.They enjoyed their time on the road. Yes, they do. It is summer in

:23:55. > :24:05.Australia at the moment so they have come off the road. Track focus

:24:05. > :24:07.

:24:07. > :24:11.is the way to go for our guys. They You can see the Union flags being

:24:11. > :24:16.held aloft and here are the silver medallists for that men at Team

:24:17. > :24:24.Pursuit riders. Their focus this here is the Olympics. A stepping

:24:24. > :24:27.stone on the way and they pick up It was a very good ride indeed by

:24:27. > :24:37.the Great Britain quartet. There they are receiving their silver

:24:37. > :24:41.

:24:41. > :24:46.medals, being presented by Sebastian Coe. The chair of the

:24:46. > :24:56.London organising committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.

:24:56. > :25:04.

:25:04. > :25:14.The third quickest time ever. 354.615. It was a very, very

:25:14. > :25:14.

:25:14. > :25:20.Over the years, Australia have certainly been to the fore when it

:25:20. > :25:23.comes to the individual and Team Pursuit, I should says. Their

:25:23. > :25:28.Olympic history shows they have been Olympic champions on two

:25:28. > :25:38.occasions. LA and Athens. They had been eight times the world

:25:38. > :25:49.

:25:49. > :25:57.champions. They specialise in this by a Brian Cookson. And the British

:25:57. > :26:02.cycling President. Flowers first to the bronze medallists. But I think

:26:02. > :26:08.the expectation is the ingredients in the final will be very, very

:26:08. > :26:15.tasty indeed and so it proved to be. So Australia would that a very,

:26:15. > :26:25.very impressive golden moment. They are the winners of the Team Pursuit

:26:25. > :26:33.

:26:33. > :26:40.from Australia. They have had one in the women's distance. That came

:26:40. > :26:50.in the Scratch race. So, Australia are the champions here for the Team

:26:50. > :26:50.

:26:50. > :28:06.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 76 seconds

:28:06. > :28:10.being kept busy today and a wonderful round of applause, not

:28:10. > :28:17.just for Great Britain but for New Zealand, who had turned it around

:28:17. > :28:21.in performance in the last year, and of course, Australia. How could

:28:21. > :28:24.well Australia be feeling to come here on the new Olympic track to

:28:24. > :28:28.pick up a gold medal? They will be over the moon with a performance

:28:28. > :28:32.like that. They came here to deliver a message and they have

:28:32. > :28:36.delivered it very seriously. You may have heard me call in my

:28:36. > :28:41.commentary that that is the third best time ever, and it was a very

:28:41. > :28:45.clinical, polished performance. There changes were executed

:28:45. > :28:49.magnificently. I think Great Britain will go away from that and

:28:49. > :28:54.regroup, and look at their team, and start to build on it. Believe

:28:54. > :28:59.me, Great Britain have more to offer but, if anything, the opening,

:28:59. > :29:03.to for Great Britain was too quick and they paid the price later on.

:29:03. > :29:11.You think that as good as we have got at the moment. Where do you

:29:12. > :29:16.think we can improve? I think that, hand on heart, that's the result

:29:16. > :29:21.they expected here, and they wanted to be nice and close because they

:29:21. > :29:25.know where they are at up their development. These guys have got to

:29:25. > :29:30.stop messing about on the road, said Ed Clancy it. They know what

:29:30. > :29:35.they have got to do. And I think they have a lot more to give.

:29:35. > :29:40.Geraint Thomas can sharpen up a bit. Ed Clancy is the greatest start in

:29:40. > :29:45.the world. I was happy to see themselves pushed so hard they were

:29:45. > :29:49.on the edge. It's a good place for them to be. Get used to being like

:29:49. > :29:54.that because that's where you have got to be to win at this level.

:29:54. > :29:58.Take us inside the team GP camp for the next few months. What will they

:29:58. > :30:02.be doing as a foursome to make sure when they are back here, it's a

:30:02. > :30:07.gold medal, not Hazel the one? The there will be a lot of individual

:30:07. > :30:10.work being done because they know different things. Ed Clancy is a

:30:10. > :30:15.power ride and will have a different programme. He gets his

:30:15. > :30:19.strength from being on the road, so he would get a good pace training

:30:19. > :30:23.by gunmen on the road and then they will all come back together with

:30:23. > :30:26.two months to go and absolutely focused on this one event for that

:30:26. > :30:30.it's only a stepping stone. could get the gold medal in the

:30:30. > :30:37.Olympics. Yes, I think we could for the Bradley Wiggins is always in

:30:37. > :30:40.the wings, you know. He said is going to ride the road Time Trial

:30:40. > :30:45.in London but you never know with him, he likes the Team Pursuit

:30:45. > :30:53.event. It is a stepping stone and we are still preparing for the

:30:53. > :31:03.thank you very much for now. Let's have a look at Chris. He is gearing

:31:03. > :31:10.

:31:10. > :31:15.up for the Sprint final. He has him?: yes he will think about this

:31:15. > :31:20.Gold Medal ride and going one up in the final. We have seen a great

:31:20. > :31:27.ride from Levy. We will see how Chris and Maximillian go head-to-

:31:27. > :31:37.head in a moment. But first, the fight for bronze. COMMENTATOR: That

:31:37. > :31:43.

:31:43. > :31:49.scrap will be between France and Germany. I don't know who you would

:31:49. > :31:55.call. I thought Sireau is the more talented sprinter? I was thinking

:31:55. > :32:00.that. Sireau would get to the edge for me. Forstemanne is in good

:32:00. > :32:05.shape, but Sireau has the track craft and the depth that he is the

:32:05. > :32:11.man that will take this one on. Just to reinforce our comments that

:32:11. > :32:15.we made, o' or probably I made, Forstemanne is all tb the team

:32:15. > :32:22.sprint and he rides gate man. Although he did ride in second

:32:22. > :32:28.position here. So Sireau out and ready for business very early. He

:32:28. > :32:33.is keen to get on with this. There he is. A strong man, very strong

:32:33. > :32:43.indeed. Not a huge amount between them. Tactics will play a large

:32:43. > :32:45.

:32:45. > :32:52.part. Levy, sorry I should say Sireau, just one time in the final

:32:53. > :32:58.of the world sprint. Back in 2008 Olympic year. He was beaten on that

:32:58. > :33:08.occasion Sir Chris Hoy. He is the one who will leave off. Sireau

:33:08. > :33:15.

:33:15. > :33:19.leading off, Forstemanne just advantage of being in this

:33:19. > :33:25.velodrome. They are very similar the tracks, but there are subtle

:33:25. > :33:30.differences. At this level, the riders notice it. And they have

:33:30. > :33:35.been adjusting. But ultimately, it comes to the similar tactics that

:33:35. > :33:38.the best place to be in the final bend is in the front. Yes. One of

:33:38. > :33:43.the ingredients of the design of this track is the finishing line is

:33:43. > :33:48.further down the straight. Yes it is. And we have seen that in the

:33:48. > :33:53.bunch races particularly. It makes a difference when it has been a

:33:53. > :33:56.close finish. But in the men's sprint, they're going so fast, very

:33:56. > :34:02.difficult to come around in the final straight. Sireau is going to

:34:02. > :34:07.lead this one out. One lap to go. Here he is. This is race one in the

:34:07. > :34:17.contest for bronze. He hasn't applied full pressure, but now he

:34:17. > :34:17.

:34:17. > :34:24.has. Sireau settles down to hold off fosman - efostman. Sireau wins

:34:24. > :34:29.very comfortably race one. Consistently fast, 10.49. That is a

:34:29. > :34:33.quick time. He didn't go flat out. He didn't want Forstemanne to have

:34:33. > :34:38.the benefit of laying off and running up the slip stream. He was

:34:38. > :34:46.holing him there. If he wanted to go past him, he had to get his nose

:34:46. > :34:53.into the wind and do it himself and it was too much to ask. He even got

:34:53. > :35:01.out of the saddle in the closing stages to raise his game, but to no

:35:01. > :35:09.game and Sireau wins race one. There is pretty dramatic music in

:35:09. > :35:16.the Aree na, signalling the arrival of the two gladiators in the final.

:35:16. > :35:22.Levy of Germany and the man of the moment, Chris Hoy. Well Hoy may

:35:22. > :35:26.well have his work cut out, Levy is in good form. Yes he has stepped up

:35:26. > :35:31.to a new level. Always strong in the team sprint. Great over the

:35:32. > :35:39.last two years. Particularly last year. We have never seen him sprint

:35:39. > :35:44.like think. 10.2 twice earlier in the competition. That saw him take

:35:44. > :35:51.out Jason Kenny. He has hardly put a foot wrofpblgt I think Chris Hoy

:35:51. > :35:56.has him on -- put a foot wrong. I think Chris Hoy has him on tactics.

:35:56. > :36:01.Can you imagine what is going through Levy's mind with an

:36:01. > :36:06.opponent of the quality of Sir Chris Hoy? Four times Gold Medal

:36:06. > :36:10.winner at the Olympics. One of the most respected athletes on the

:36:10. > :36:16.circuit. It is all about trying to gain the higher ground here. Get

:36:16. > :36:24.race one under your belt and then you're moving into the controlling

:36:24. > :36:30.position of the contest. Well Hoy giving him a few lengths there. He

:36:30. > :36:34.is giving himself present of room to manoeuvre, so he can see what

:36:34. > :36:38.happens. The second rider tries to keep higher at all times. So if

:36:38. > :36:43.there is a jump, they have the benefit of the banking to roll down.

:36:43. > :36:48.They can't do that around the bend, because it is so steep. Tuned to

:36:48. > :36:55.ride at over 50 kilometres an hour to be square to it. You would be

:36:55. > :37:04.touching your pedal if you were on it. That is why they're ride around

:37:04. > :37:12.the blue. Chris won his 33rd Gold Medal yesterday. Are we going to

:37:12. > :37:18.see Gold Medal 34? Great back up the track, as soon adds possible.

:37:18. > :37:28.Keep that height. -- as possible. This is the slow build up, before

:37:28. > :37:33.

:37:33. > :37:37.the tear up. So much respect being shown by both riders. This is worth

:37:38. > :37:42.reinforcing the comment you make about the skill of a sprinter riegd

:37:42. > :37:48.forward and looking backwards. riegd. It is much more difficult

:37:48. > :37:53.than it looks and doing that at 60 kilometres an hour is realaway feat.

:37:53. > :38:00.Just about one and a quarter laps to go. The riders lift the

:38:00. > :38:06.tempoment leavey will lead this one out. -- tempo, Levy will lead this

:38:06. > :38:16.one out. Levy at the front. Here comes Chris hoi. Can he get around

:38:16. > :38:21.Levy? Oh yes, Levy was beaten on the line. Sir Chris draws first

:38:21. > :38:25.blood and takes race one in the final for gold and there is the Hoy

:38:25. > :38:31.family celebrating. He is having to work hard for this. But he didn't

:38:31. > :38:36.panic. Right hesitation by, or Levy in the back straight, just as they

:38:36. > :38:40.came over the 200 metre line. He didn't wait and started the sprint

:38:40. > :38:45.early. That is what Chris Hoy wanted him to do. He wants to run

:38:45. > :38:49.up that slip stream. But it takes a lot of courage to wait for that

:38:49. > :38:54.final bend. Levy came out of the sprinters line. That is naughty.

:38:54. > :39:00.Once you're in there, you're not supposed to come out. He is trying

:39:00. > :39:05.to stop Chris coming around the outside. But Chris Hoy has seen it

:39:05. > :39:15.all before. Doesn't matter what line loovy took, he didn't have an

:39:15. > :39:16.

:39:16. > :39:21.answer for the flying Scot. It was good to see daddy Hoy enjoying that.

:39:21. > :39:25.Lizzie turned to me, being a hardened racer and said to me, so

:39:25. > :39:29.nerve wracking and it is. When they go through the cat and mouse

:39:29. > :39:34.situation, everyone is holding their breath. Yes it is not

:39:34. > :39:39.something for me. The amount of pressure they're under, everyone's

:39:39. > :39:43.eyes are on them and any mistake you make in such a short race costs

:39:43. > :39:49.you make in such a short race costs you. Ray as a youngster, did you

:39:49. > :39:54.ever have a go at this? I had a to once and I wasn't good. Once is

:39:54. > :39:59.must have? Yes. Let's look at the big moment, Chris coming around to

:39:59. > :40:06.the end and we have heard from the team they have moved the finish

:40:06. > :40:11.line tone courage riders to have a go - eline to encourage the riders

:40:11. > :40:15.go - eline to encourage the riders to have a go. Up until the line,

:40:15. > :40:20.the race wasn't over until the finish line. He had the perfect

:40:20. > :40:26.lead from the German. The German was stuck on the front. Enyou know

:40:26. > :40:30.you have got Chris Hoy behind you, you hope that line is five metres

:40:30. > :40:35.shorter. That is the point. This isn't just about speed, but the

:40:35. > :40:45.endurance and to have the ability to keep that going? Yes, somebody

:40:45. > :40:46.

:40:46. > :40:51.like me, an endurance required wouldn't fatigue -- fa teeg -

:40:51. > :40:56.fatigue. Where will his mind be now. It is a big year for the sprinters.

:40:56. > :41:01.He is now staring down the barrel of three golds and the perfect

:41:01. > :41:05.start to life in this velodrome? couldn't have asked for better. He

:41:05. > :41:11.has got to get that one ride perfect, the next ride perfect and

:41:11. > :41:16.the job's done. You were skrired in 2008 with your back. Watching from

:41:16. > :41:23.your bed, how much inspiration did you take from the likes of Victoria

:41:23. > :41:29.Pendleton? It was incredible. The whole country got behind cycling.

:41:30. > :41:38.You get your go this year. Yes. Have you calmed down after Seb's

:41:38. > :41:43.scared you on live television? I know. You don't need to be told

:41:43. > :41:49.thafrplt hisy goes later on this year and another new event for the

:41:49. > :41:59.Olympics is the omnee yum. Laura Trott is taking part in this. --

:41:59. > :42:07.

:42:07. > :42:17.omnee yum. Glfrpblgts COMMENTATOR: This is the first counting

:42:17. > :42:28.

:42:28. > :42:34.disciplines they have both got 20 points here each. We can expect to

:42:34. > :42:39.see a quick start from Laura. She is in the lead. But against it with

:42:39. > :42:44.Hammer. A former world champion. But it might help she tries to

:42:44. > :42:51.match Hammer, if that gives Trott a better time that, can help her with

:42:51. > :42:57.two more events to go in is in omnium. Interesting to know how

:42:57. > :43:01.tired the legs are of Laura Trott, she rode a fantastic elimination

:43:01. > :43:06.race last night. Emerging as the victor. At the moment she has got

:43:06. > :43:10.off the mark well. Trott going very strongly and she is leading Hammer.

:43:10. > :43:19.They must be confident, because the coach is standing by the line and

:43:19. > :43:25.indicating that she's ahead of schedule. So that will give them

:43:25. > :43:30.confidence. The first kilometre split is 1.12 by Trott. That is the

:43:30. > :43:36.fastest opening four laps so much. Hammer just a bit slower. These two

:43:36. > :43:43.are posting the quickest time. It is if rider from the Netherlands

:43:43. > :43:46.that has put down the quickest time. But that will crumble here. She is

:43:46. > :43:55.still riding to schedule. This is the kind of performance they're

:43:55. > :44:01.expecting from Laura. She looks composed. Well they are evenly

:44:01. > :44:08.matched, trotlet is still leading. -- Trott is still leading. We have

:44:08. > :44:14.gone through midway point. Sara Hammer is so strong, particularly

:44:14. > :44:19.in the closing stages. But the crowd are roaring Trott on. She is

:44:19. > :44:23.flying. I tell you wha, Laura is pulling away from Hammer. But that

:44:23. > :44:29.is not something we would expect to see. But she looks really, well she

:44:29. > :44:37.looks in control. Former world omnium champion, Trott. Here she

:44:37. > :44:44.comes up to the mark. Two kilometres covered 2.22.924. She is

:44:44. > :44:51.into the final four laps. Trott coming up to the line. That will

:44:51. > :44:57.leave her three laps to go. And she's got the measure of the four

:44:57. > :45:01.time world champion, Sarah Hammer of the United States. Let's remind

:45:01. > :45:05.ourselves Trott is third after three events in the omnium with 20

:45:05. > :45:12.points F you win a discipline you get one point. And this time that

:45:13. > :45:18.Trott is put down is going to take some beating. We're going to see

:45:18. > :45:23.her move up. This is a stronger ride than I expected. She is on

:45:23. > :45:27.fantastic form. Still got the scratch race to to to come and the

:45:27. > :45:35.500 metre time trial. She gets the bell, one lap to go 5 there is no

:45:35. > :45:41.sign of Hammer. She is well behind. The tame to beat 3.40.09. Trott

:45:41. > :45:49.will post the quickst time with one more heat to go. Here she comes. It

:45:49. > :45:59.is a cracking ride, 3.35.03, Laura Trott is the quickest in the 3,000

:45:59. > :46:06.

:46:06. > :46:11.metre pursuit with one more heat in a medal position. The Scratch

:46:11. > :46:15.race happened earlier on today. This is what happened.

:46:15. > :46:20.COMMENTATOR: Everybody knows there is no points on a route in this

:46:20. > :46:25.discipline. It's just about first to cross the line. Everybody

:46:25. > :46:30.nervous about using up energy. A small gap has developed. I don't

:46:30. > :46:36.know if you have noticed, in the middle of the Peloton, Laura Trott,

:46:36. > :46:40.I reckon, has been getting some advice from their coaches to sit on

:46:40. > :46:46.the wheel of the world champion, and that exactly what she's doing.

:46:46. > :46:51.She's all over her like a rash here. She is the greatest Omnium rider in

:46:51. > :46:55.the history of the event. She has been second, twice, and also world

:46:55. > :47:00.champion. It's a risky strategy to take yourself out of the race but

:47:00. > :47:07.to have to take some risks if you want to the big prize. I think

:47:07. > :47:17.Laura Trott is after the first spot on the podium here. 24 laps to go

:47:17. > :47:39.

:47:39. > :47:45.comes through at the front. pace has lifted. So near yet so far.

:47:45. > :47:54.I think the writing was on the wall for her. She has just got to stay

:47:54. > :48:02.in the a bunch now. And she will win this event by virtue of the

:48:02. > :48:08.fact she has one lap on all of the other riders. The field coming into

:48:08. > :48:13.the finishing straight, to the line, which will leave them 20 laps to go.

:48:13. > :48:23.The middle point of this penultimate discipline, the Omnium

:48:23. > :48:28.Scratch race, won a rider has a lap lead, from Belarus, -- one rider.

:48:28. > :48:33.But we have got a bigger tactic developing now from the current

:48:33. > :48:39.world champion from Canada. She is beginning to look strong. Laura

:48:39. > :48:43.Trott spotted that one and went on the defensive and did a lot of the

:48:43. > :48:49.chasing to neutralise that move. I think that is what is going to

:48:49. > :48:59.happen. The top riders are going to watch each other race within the

:48:59. > :49:04.

:49:04. > :49:08.race. Once again, Spain coming months ago. A gentle easing off

:49:08. > :49:13.again. Nobody seems to want to really apply the pressure. This is

:49:13. > :49:18.playing nicely into the hands of the rider from Belarus. She has got

:49:18. > :49:28.this lap advantage. I think we will see some small attacks coming now

:49:28. > :49:36.

:49:36. > :49:44.and, sure enough, here they go for dash, and that's when there is an

:49:44. > :49:48.opportunity for someone to may be getting that lap back. Germany has

:49:48. > :49:56.decided to put the hammer down, and she has a 50 metre advantage over

:49:56. > :50:04.the field. Are they are not fully committed, so Becker is taking a

:50:04. > :50:11.full advantage of this. Laura Trott comes to the nose of the Peloton

:50:11. > :50:15.but the sides to swing high, saving her legs. They have still got the

:50:15. > :50:21.500 metre Time Trial to come. this might be what she needs to get

:50:21. > :50:26.that lap, and you can see how fast it happens when they back off. Half

:50:26. > :50:32.a lap advantage now. She will need the pressure to stay off and it

:50:32. > :50:37.won't happen. Another attack from Poland. It's immediately chucked

:50:37. > :50:46.out. The field are coming back together, so this is playing nicely

:50:46. > :50:51.into the hands of the latest rider Clare, Charlotte Packer. -- clear

:50:52. > :50:57.for has she got the power to bridge? She is now being put under

:50:57. > :51:01.pressure. I think the opportunity has passed now. When are you on

:51:01. > :51:05.your own, you had two minutes to get through and to make contact

:51:05. > :51:11.with the back of the bunch. It that doesn't happen in that period, it's

:51:11. > :51:16.too hard out there on your own. are looking up the leader, here,

:51:16. > :51:23.Charlotte Becker, coming up to the line. This penultimate discipline

:51:23. > :51:28.in the women's Omnium, but the leader is still Belarus, who

:51:28. > :51:31.escaped the field and took a lap early on, but there is a big effort

:51:31. > :51:39.at the front of the main field by the world champion, the current

:51:39. > :51:43.leader of this Omnium. She is so strong and stylish. She sweeps past

:51:43. > :51:48.Becker and looks to be setting herself up for a victory. A big

:51:48. > :51:52.attack from the Australian, Edmondson. I'm not sure this will

:51:52. > :51:58.work. That's what I thought five seconds ago, but now she has got

:51:58. > :52:04.some company and that is dangerous. Laura Trott, second. She news to

:52:04. > :52:09.close that gap quickly. The two which have gone clear our first and

:52:09. > :52:14.second overall in the Omnium. Laura Trott, currently third, is having

:52:14. > :52:21.to do all the work and she bridges. Let's hope it has not taken too

:52:21. > :52:26.much out of her. She didn't want to make an effort like that with the

:52:26. > :52:32.eight laps to go. Sarah Hammond had an advantage there. The other

:52:32. > :52:42.favourite have made an effort. Who will win this, I don't know. Geoff

:52:42. > :52:43.

:52:43. > :52:48.Dunne putt separating would be Time Trial to come. -- one point

:52:48. > :52:58.separating with the Time Trial to come. The Czech Republic applying

:52:58. > :53:01.the pressure. Five laps to go. Now, Lithuania. They all move by. Just

:53:01. > :53:09.over one minutes' racing to go and everybody is desperately trying to

:53:09. > :53:18.position themselves for the Sprint. Laura I deal -- not ideal for this

:53:18. > :53:28.finish. Let us not forget that number five as one this. The rest

:53:28. > :53:31.

:53:31. > :53:41.of the field is sprinting for second -- No. 5 has a one this. --

:53:41. > :53:41.

:53:41. > :53:51.Number five has won this. She is a very versatile rider. They are

:53:51. > :53:55.

:53:55. > :54:02.coming up to the line it with two Sarah hammer from the USA. The

:54:02. > :54:07.current world pursuit champion. She really is going for it now. She

:54:07. > :54:17.will be second in the race if she wins the is and unimportant two

:54:17. > :54:34.

:54:34. > :54:44.the fact that she UN Climate Change summit the field early on. This is

:54:44. > :54:53.

:54:53. > :54:59.how the points table looks. -- she so. -- was she saving her legs?

:54:59. > :55:06.think she got stuck in the last section of the race. That's just

:55:06. > :55:12.about being confident in your own Tel as a bit about the Omnium

:55:12. > :55:17.because you have done it in the past. It's a gruelling event and

:55:17. > :55:24.tests every skill a cyclist could possess. Yes, it is similar to the

:55:24. > :55:28.heptathlon on the track. It is an all-rounder. It's a fatigue event.

:55:28. > :55:33.Every race seems to get harder for the what will it Laura be listening

:55:33. > :55:40.to on her head phones at the moment? The probably some sort of

:55:40. > :55:46.pop music. The maybe Take That. What does she like at the Time

:55:46. > :55:51.Trial? It's a perfect end to the event for Laura. She's always going

:55:52. > :55:56.to be in the top three, so she knows she can bank on that result.

:55:56. > :56:02.The Individual Pursuit has been taken out to bring in the Omnium,

:56:02. > :56:12.and we will talk about that in a moment. Let's go to the

:56:12. > :56:14.

:56:14. > :56:23.commentators. The final event in Trial and this is the first. It

:56:23. > :56:31.brings together New Zealand. There she is. Her opponent is from

:56:31. > :56:37.Lithuania. 500 metres of the track, two laps. This is the 6th eventer

:56:37. > :56:47.they have competed in over the two days. But fastest time-trial so far

:56:47. > :56:52.

:56:52. > :56:55.gate and we saw that in the Individual Pursuit when she

:56:55. > :57:01.suddenly put herself or well ahead of Sarah Hammond in the early

:57:01. > :57:05.stages. She will be coming in the last but one heat. She is currently

:57:05. > :57:10.4th in the overall competition. One point shy of a bronze medal

:57:10. > :57:18.currently held by the world champion. Away they go for the Time

:57:19. > :57:24.Trial. We are that net new Zealand. It's an explosive way to finish

:57:24. > :57:32.this competition, isn't it? -- we are looking at the Ryder from New

:57:32. > :57:36.Zealand. That is the quickest opening a 250 we have had so far.

:57:36. > :57:43.Earlier in the competition, Lithuania was the overall leader in

:57:43. > :57:53.the Omnium but now she is 9th. 36.14. That's the fastest we have

:57:53. > :58:02.

:58:02. > :58:08.days of racing. This is the 6th event of the Omnium competition.

:58:08. > :58:14.Consistency is so important. Shortly it will be Laura Trott, and

:58:14. > :58:21.she will need to produce the performance she is capable of

:58:21. > :58:30.because she needs to be ahead. To get onto the podium, it will be a

:58:30. > :58:40.real fight here. Lithuania. She gives her the lead at the moment in

:58:40. > :59:11.

:59:11. > :59:17.two, she is the highest place in 7th place. And the Belgian, she is

:59:17. > :59:27.in eight. 49. Just composing themselves now for the five-second

:59:27. > :59:30.

:59:30. > :59:37.most of these riders take a tentative route out of the gate,

:59:37. > :59:45.the safe method. They don't rock and back -- back and forth to gain

:59:45. > :59:55.advantage. They could probably get more 0.3 of an extra second by

:59:55. > :00:23.

:00:23. > :00:28.posted by the Chinese competitor. all in that start. -- comfortable.

:00:28. > :00:33.It is a funny discipline this, some riders choose a normal bike, but

:00:33. > :00:39.you can see the elbows out when they get up to speed is not

:00:39. > :00:42.aerodynamic. Others would use what they call triathlon bars to get

:00:42. > :00:46.that tuck, but the consequence, they have more weight off the start

:00:46. > :00:56.and they have to change position half way through. The jury seems to

:00:56. > :01:15.

:01:15. > :01:25.playing Sharakova, who had a great ride in the scratch race. She is

:01:25. > :01:27.

:01:27. > :01:32.lying sixth. Coming up to the Sen second count down for these two.

:01:32. > :01:38.Wild of the Netherlands in the home straight and Sharakova on the right

:01:38. > :01:44.starting in the back straight. Still that time to shoot down is

:01:44. > :01:49.36.4 by Trebaite of Lithuania. mentioned starting efforts and Wild

:01:49. > :01:56.did use some technique the get out of gate. Let's see if it helps. She

:01:56. > :02:00.is against a a strong opponent in Sharakova. Looks as though she has

:02:00. > :02:05.recovered from the big effort she made today. That is an impressive

:02:05. > :02:11.opening lap by Sharakova. The victory in the scratch race has

:02:11. > :02:19.lifted her. Can she continue the good work? Looking at the leg speed,

:02:19. > :02:25.I would say she K look at the time, 35.6. Car show Coe is the new -

:02:25. > :02:30.Sharakova is the new quickest rider. That was impressive. It is nearly

:02:30. > :02:35.0.8 of a second. This a a kilometre an hour faster than anyone else.

:02:35. > :02:40.She will be happy with that finish. I'm not sure how it will help her

:02:40. > :02:48.overall. Because she lost a few points, or gained a few points

:02:48. > :02:54.early on. Not exact think most stylish, she is rolling on the bike

:02:54. > :03:01.x -- not exactly the most stylish, she is rolling on the bike. We have

:03:01. > :03:10.two more heats to go and this heat that is preparing now brings

:03:10. > :03:13.together the world champion, Tara Whitten of Canada. Sharakova now at

:03:13. > :03:19.the head of the heard board. But in the back straight and she will get

:03:19. > :03:25.lifted around the velodrome with the applause is Britain's Laura

:03:25. > :03:33.Trott. After five disciplines, trot trt -- Trott is fourth and the

:03:33. > :03:42.world champion, wipbt of can da, third on 30. -- Whitten of Canada,

:03:42. > :03:46.third on 30. Laura Trott, already has a Gold Medal in her pocket from

:03:46. > :03:50.earlier in the week here in the women's team pursuit and they seat

:03:51. > :04:00.new world record. She is in very good form and we can expect her to

:04:01. > :04:01.

:04:01. > :04:04.put up a good time here. We're into the count down. Whitten on the left.

:04:04. > :04:09.Laura Trott back straight representing Britain. Two laps of

:04:09. > :04:14.track to go. A good start by Laura Trott. You can see threw all her

:04:14. > :04:20.weight forward, timed it perfectly and she needs a good ride and to

:04:20. > :04:28.beat the others. She has got to do a good ride too get on the podium.

:04:28. > :04:33.Sles going full board down the back straight, Trott. Fastest opening

:04:33. > :04:40.lap. Trott motoring, Whitten's trying to peg her back. This is the

:04:40. > :04:46.ride that could put her on the podium. Both rider committed here

:04:46. > :04:53.they come, Trott takes it 35.6. That is the quickest time. Whitten

:04:53. > :05:01.places third and with that time, Laura Trott is guaranteed a medal.

:05:01. > :05:05.What colour will it be? Well great ride, she did what she needed to do.

:05:05. > :05:12.You could see the technique out of gate. Practices with the team

:05:12. > :05:21.pursuit. So no stranger to it. She is a punchy rider and to deliver

:05:21. > :05:25.when you know you have got to. A great ride that. Trott has been

:05:25. > :05:30.consistent. Second in the flying lap. First in the elimination.

:05:30. > :05:35.Second in the individual pursuit. That is astonishing. Just had a bad

:05:35. > :05:40.ride in the points race. If she can tidy that one up. She would have

:05:40. > :05:44.been on the top step there. Is that time trial for trot the defining

:05:44. > :05:54.moment that will place her on the top spot on the podium? We will

:05:54. > :06:03.

:06:03. > :06:08.have to wait and see, but she is gold in this, Edmondson in the

:06:08. > :06:13.final heat who is second, if she is fourth or worse, than Trott will go

:06:13. > :06:19.ahead of her oor Hammer, who is the leader on 25 points, if she goes

:06:19. > :06:23.sixth or worse, Trott of Britain will get tkpold. This is a nail

:06:23. > :06:29.biter. -- gold. It will be close. They are not necessary think best

:06:29. > :06:33.at this vent, but they are good. It will come right down to it.

:06:33. > :06:39.laps of track and they will be aware of what they have got to do.

:06:39. > :06:47.They have seen Laura Trott blaze around the boards. Now let's have a

:06:47. > :06:52.look at this first lap split. Half a lap to go for both riders. Hammer,

:06:53. > :06:58.let's look at it, fifth for Edmondson and if she remains in

:06:58. > :07:02.that position, then it would mean Trott could get gold. It is a nail

:07:02. > :07:10.baiter. Down the finishing straights they come and up to the

:07:10. > :07:15.line. Well, Edmondson gets third. And her time of 35.718 and the time

:07:15. > :07:20.by Hammer, who is fifth is 36. And that means is they have maintained

:07:21. > :07:26.their places and I think from that Trott will get the bronze. So both

:07:26. > :07:29.those riders raise their game in the second lap. Well, it is a

:07:29. > :07:33.classic competition for sure and of course consistency is what it is

:07:33. > :07:38.about. You can't afford to have a bad event and these riders, well

:07:38. > :07:43.that was like a small World Championship. Look at this, Hammer

:07:43. > :07:48.and Edmondson have tied and Trott has got the bronze. Fantastic

:07:48. > :07:57.performance. Unbelievable. I think she will be happy with that. She

:07:57. > :08:01.rode well and has been racing all the way through this four-day meet.

:08:01. > :08:08.So for the victory I think what will lap now is they will lack at

:08:08. > :08:11.the timed event and see who has had the better places. -- look at.

:08:11. > :08:17.Sarah hammer was third in the flying lap and third in the

:08:17. > :08:21.individual and she is given the -- giving the victory salute. And

:08:21. > :08:25.fifth in the time trial. So it means that Hammer will win the

:08:26. > :08:29.omnium from the Australian, Edmondson. But let's not forget

:08:29. > :08:33.that brilliant performance by Trott. She already has a gold from the

:08:34. > :08:39.team pursuit and she could be a serious threat at the Olympics.

:08:39. > :08:46.is having a chat with her coach. She doesn't look happy. But I think

:08:46. > :08:53.she per torpld -- performed so well. So many competitions for her over

:08:53. > :08:59.this four days. Just that one event, the points race, didn't quite go so

:08:59. > :09:05.we. Everything else, she was right up amongst it. Official result

:09:05. > :09:11.confirmed. The gold to Sarah Hammer, the American. The silver to if

:09:11. > :09:21.Australian, Annette Edmondson and the bronze to Laura Trott of

:09:21. > :09:22.

:09:22. > :09:27.Britain. Well done to Laura. Now, Laura Trott, a fantastic

:09:27. > :09:31.performance, is show she now a shoe in for the Olympics? It is

:09:31. > :09:36.difficult, you have Danni King behind her and it will be a race

:09:36. > :09:41.until the Olympics, but yes on that performance, it is going to be a

:09:41. > :09:44.hard race for Danni. This is only a World Cup, but it is worth

:09:44. > :09:50.reminding people at home that the best riders of the world are here,

:09:50. > :09:56.because it is a chance to try out the Olympic track. So it is a dress

:09:56. > :10:01.rehearsal? Yes the best of the best are here. It is an awesome ride to

:10:01. > :10:08.come third. If you can just sharpen up in bunch races that bronze could

:10:08. > :10:16.be a gold. You almost couldn't cope when it is Croy hois in the men's

:10:16. > :10:23.sprint. Are you ready for another? Yes. -- Chris Hoy. Chris Hoy leads

:10:23. > :10:33.Levy of vaermy, but first the -- German, but first the fight for

:10:33. > :10:51.

:10:51. > :10:56.Forstemanne. The 25-year-old German. A bit of work to do here if he

:10:56. > :11:03.wants to take this to a decider. 10.59 closing 2 hundred in the

:11:03. > :11:07.first match that went to the French mab. -- Frenchman. They draw lots

:11:07. > :11:12.to see who will lead off. That is reversed in the second and they

:11:12. > :11:16.draw lots again for the third ride. The first rider has to proceed at

:11:16. > :11:21.at least walking pace until they have done half a lap. At that point,

:11:21. > :11:27.well it is up to them what they want to do. They can do a stand-

:11:27. > :11:31.still, but for no more than 30 seconds. It is not something we see

:11:31. > :11:36.often these days on the faster tracks. But on the big outDar

:11:36. > :11:42.tracks it was very important to get the back -- outdoor tracks it was

:11:42. > :11:47.very important to get the back position and surprise. A lot of

:11:47. > :11:52.that advantage of the back position has been taken away. As they, the

:11:52. > :11:56.skill of being able to ride while looking backwards has been honed

:11:56. > :12:01.and there is a few small skills like that within this race that are

:12:01. > :12:07.hard to pick up. Guys just stand next to one of the tracks and see

:12:07. > :12:12.the size of the guys and the speed they're going. Sprint tactics, as

:12:13. > :12:22.you said, now they're on the a smaller track have changed from the

:12:23. > :12:25.

:12:25. > :12:31.old 400s. Of course it is about the spectacular attraction and

:12:31. > :12:36.obviously 250, 42 degree bank, has proved to be the correct arena.

:12:36. > :12:43.Forstemanne eyeing up his opponent here. He will try his west to --

:12:43. > :12:48.best to level the score, but I can't see it happening. Sireau

:12:48. > :12:54.dictated the first clash. Sireau has got the height. He is

:12:54. > :12:59.travelling faster there. And by being above, you can see the

:12:59. > :13:04.acceleration the German needs and he will try and keep his pind on

:13:04. > :13:08.the bend. He has done that. - o' pinned. Forstemanne will lead and

:13:09. > :13:13.there was near lay clash. Forstemanne still trying to find

:13:13. > :13:20.speed and Sireau having to come the long way round. Can he do it? No,

:13:20. > :13:28.he can't. Well, Forstemanne makes it 1-1. Forstemanne rode an

:13:28. > :13:33.excellent race. Every time Sireau accelerated, he matched him and

:13:33. > :13:39.farce forced the Frenchman to go an extra 10 meets. That takes some

:13:39. > :13:46.skill to do that. Every time he saw Sireau accelerate, you can see him

:13:46. > :13:53.looking over husband shoulder, he matched it and -- over his shoulder,

:13:53. > :13:57.he matched it and the German gave him no opportunity. Sireau probably

:13:57. > :14:02.the quicker of the two. Forstemanne on this occasion, the smarter.

:14:02. > :14:07.the closing stages, try ass he could, the Frenchman -- try as he

:14:07. > :14:13.could, the Frenchman hadn't got the power in those thighs. Forstemanne

:14:13. > :14:17.delivering the winning blow. The closing 200 just 100th quicker than

:14:17. > :14:26.the first race. So they will come back on the track later to decide

:14:26. > :14:34.which way the bronze will go. Now we can look forward to the gold and

:14:34. > :14:40.Silver Medal ride here. This is race No 2. Sis Chris Hoy already

:14:40. > :14:50.one up. -- Sir Chris Hoy already one up. The green marker indicates

:14:50. > :14:50.

:14:50. > :14:57.that he won the first heat and his opponent is maxilyian Levy. --

:14:57. > :15:04.Maximillian Levy. Sir Chris Hoy won't want for support. Loofry is

:15:04. > :15:12.on the form of his life. Ridden the fastest sprint of everyone. He will

:15:12. > :15:19.have to do that. The music beginning to build the atmosphere

:15:19. > :15:24.here. People wonder why they go so slow at the start. They're a

:15:24. > :15:29.different animal to the endurance riders and they can produce more

:15:29. > :15:33.power than a sports car for the moment of acceleration. It is an

:15:33. > :15:38.incredible amount of force they generate. The bikes have to be so

:15:38. > :15:43.strong. They spend a lot of time in the gym, these lads. A lot of power

:15:43. > :15:48.squats and shoulder pressing. That is why they carry quite a will the

:15:48. > :15:53.of bulk. Not not a desperate amount of roadwork, once they get into the

:15:53. > :16:00.season. They do the preparation out of the track season. So the Scot on

:16:00. > :16:04.the front here. Levy knows he has to take control. The only way the

:16:04. > :16:10.beat Hoy is is with tactics. knows that too. He will try and

:16:10. > :16:16.keep that front position. Trying to go goad Levy into diving under and

:16:16. > :16:21.coming into the final lap he has kept control. He has. And he will

:16:21. > :16:24.like this, because this reminds my him of his kilometre days. But they

:16:24. > :16:29.are should tore shoulder. It is a real battle of strength and loofry

:16:29. > :16:37.is trying to get across and he can't. He can't get over the top of

:16:37. > :16:47.Hoy and Hoy wins! The stadium stand and applaud the performance of Sir

:16:47. > :16:52.

:16:52. > :16:58.has conquered the opposition here in the Olympic Stadium. He gets the

:16:58. > :17:04.gold medal number two. That is yet another achievement in his career.

:17:04. > :17:10.The stadium is on its feet. A close run competition. He had to work

:17:10. > :17:16.very, very Harrods. It was all about that penultimate bend. To get

:17:16. > :17:20.around there, he had to stop the other getting in France and it

:17:20. > :17:25.allowed him to cut down into the sprinters run. Chris Hoy had to

:17:25. > :17:32.give everything he had into the back straight. When he managed to

:17:32. > :17:37.get around him, he knew he had out. Gold medal number 34 in World Cup

:17:37. > :17:43.competition for Chris Hoy, his tally of medals up to 51. Here are

:17:43. > :17:51.the closing stages again. This is where the race was won. It was so

:17:51. > :17:56.close. At that point, he had to do an extra six first seven metres of

:17:56. > :18:06.riding, and there was no way you is that much better than Chris Hoy.

:18:06. > :18:12.tried to get past him, but Chris Hoy was too strong. A clear victory.

:18:13. > :18:17.Chris Hoy, he wins this print here. An emphatic display of confidence,

:18:17. > :18:23.speed and strength. The crowd, they came to see that, and they have

:18:23. > :18:29.loved every moment of it. The obligatory winds down on the road

:18:29. > :18:37.bike on a road gear. This is always the after competitions Brent, the

:18:37. > :18:41.after competition finished. -- after competition spent. The pedals

:18:41. > :18:50.around the middle of the arena and he doesn't even look to the head to

:18:50. > :18:56.Brett! -- out of breath. He makes his way to the centre and back to

:18:56. > :18:59.the team camp. A terrific piece of riding. I have never had to see in

:18:59. > :19:09.works so hard to secure that victory. All of this competition

:19:09. > :19:11.

:19:11. > :19:17.has been so closely fought all the way through. There he has, I wonder

:19:17. > :19:21.if this is an omen for the Olympics. That is why it is a different feel

:19:21. > :19:28.to a normal world Cup event. It is all about preparation for the

:19:28. > :19:31.Olympic Games. Here we are in a packed Olympic Stadium.

:19:31. > :19:35.Let's get your thoughts on this, whether in front of him or behind

:19:35. > :19:41.him, there is no way of stopping him at the moment, he is in great

:19:41. > :19:46.form. Yes, Chris with a home crowd, he has another level above

:19:46. > :19:52.everybody has. Something renew really special you would need to

:19:52. > :19:59.beat him. Why do wages set down a marker at the start of a Olympic

:19:59. > :20:04.year. -- what a way to set down. has a mental advantage now.

:20:04. > :20:09.mental strength, he can turn it on at the right time. There had been

:20:09. > :20:15.bad races, there had been unusual defeats, shock defeats, but here he

:20:15. > :20:18.is at the right time, turning it on. It is about confidence in your own

:20:18. > :20:23.ability and training programme had been around people that never lose

:20:23. > :20:27.faith in youth. Four years between events is a long time, and we

:20:27. > :20:33.always expect athletes to be in their peak, but it is impossible to

:20:33. > :20:37.stay at this level 4 four years, and there will naturally be a dip.

:20:37. > :20:41.Yes, you need to have a dip to have a greater height, so it is

:20:41. > :20:47.inevitable that he will have lows in you see is an, and just killers

:20:47. > :20:53.get into the peak at the right hand. For you, another gold medal being

:20:53. > :21:03.given away, and inspiration. Yes, I want to be part of it, I want to be

:21:03. > :21:07.part of this. Chris is with Jill Congratulations, I do not think

:21:07. > :21:16.anybody was going to be to add their today! I don't know about

:21:16. > :21:20.that,. -- agreed to be due out there. It was disappointing when I

:21:20. > :21:24.lost against France, but had been making mistakes recently and I made

:21:24. > :21:32.maybe one estate today, one or two mistakes Max Mon, which is pretty

:21:32. > :21:37.good for me. It is an important step out towards the Olympics.

:21:37. > :21:42.important was it to perform well on the sprint, I know you desperately

:21:42. > :21:47.want to defend the Olympic title? do, but so do Jason and Matt, and

:21:47. > :21:52.it will be tough for the present to Mr Howard. I have done myself no

:21:52. > :21:56.harm by missing today, but it is by no means set up as to who will ride

:21:56. > :22:03.it. It would be a big challenge in Melbourne, but Jason will be

:22:03. > :22:07.disappointed with today. He will have his day next time. Looking at

:22:07. > :22:13.the Olympic schedule, he would be very busy if you write all free,

:22:13. > :22:19.but you have done that year. -- if you ride all three. You look very

:22:19. > :22:23.strong in the final. I put in a winter training which is equal or

:22:24. > :22:29.more to anything I have done before, and I have put in the hard yards in

:22:29. > :22:34.Perth when I came back after the intervals. It is paying off now.

:22:34. > :22:42.you look at the quality of the sprint competition, the best in the

:22:42. > :22:47.wild are you, and thankfully,, the Olympics, you will not have that.

:22:47. > :22:52.Yes, at the Olympics, one rider per nation, so I need to make that one

:22:52. > :22:58.spot myself. Tell us about the inspiration you have taken from the

:22:58. > :23:05.crowd? Wonderful to see her family here. We have seen the reaction you

:23:05. > :23:09.have had. I have been feeding from the crowd and this was equal to or

:23:10. > :23:15.best than any crowd I have ever been in front of, and they have

:23:15. > :23:21.done their job, we have to do our job and feed off their energy and

:23:21. > :23:27.deliver the goods. The words championships are looming large in

:23:27. > :23:32.Malvern, what happens between now and then? Some hard training. They

:23:32. > :23:37.expect us to be in a better state by the worst championships, and

:23:37. > :23:46.other countries will be stepping up their gains, so a lot of hard work

:23:46. > :23:52.to be done yet. How big a statement was that today? Pretty big, and to

:23:52. > :23:57.get a bronze in the team sprint and to win the keirin and the double,

:23:57. > :24:02.not a bad day. Thank you. Congratulations, a fantastic

:24:02. > :24:06.performance, the question is, but does this mean for the wild and the

:24:06. > :24:11.Olympics? Let's get the thoughts from Sue and Chris, and if there

:24:11. > :24:18.were any doubts that Chris Hoy was be too busy with three events, he

:24:18. > :24:22.has entered those queries right now. Yes, a serious message to the rest

:24:22. > :24:29.of the world that he is in possibly better form than when he won his

:24:29. > :24:32.three gold medals in Beijing. You run out of superlatives when he

:24:32. > :24:37.described his performance, but it is testimony to the dedication and

:24:37. > :24:41.hard work that he puts in. He has a regime that would frighten most

:24:41. > :24:46.people, but he delivers and trained really hard, and the way he has

:24:46. > :24:55.been performing here, it quicker man won in the team's sprint, but

:24:55. > :25:01.we never thought was realistic could be realistic. A big ask for

:25:01. > :25:05.the team's sprint to find somebody at this stage. Very difficult

:25:05. > :25:10.between Chris Hoy and Kenny for the individual sprint. Very difficult

:25:10. > :25:15.after a performance like that to pick any body else. Thank you.

:25:15. > :25:23.Three gold medals this weekend for us and a bronze medal today for

:25:23. > :25:28.Laura Trott. She is in the middle with Chris. Congratulations, a

:25:28. > :25:32.bronze medal after a gold on the opening night here, how pleased are

:25:32. > :25:36.you with the performance in the last few days? Really pleased.

:25:36. > :25:40.Could have done much more in the team pursued. I was disappointed

:25:40. > :25:46.yesterday with the points raised because that has let down by over

:25:46. > :25:53.all, but still time to work on it and I am happy to have the bronze.

:25:53. > :25:59.The timed event is a real strength of US? Yes, it pays off in the time

:25:59. > :26:04.defence. That Omnium event had the crowd on its feet, a crowd pleaser,

:26:04. > :26:11.something you enjoy it. I would not say I enjoy it, but it was nice to

:26:11. > :26:17.win. Between now and the Olympics, obviously, the pursuit team and a

:26:17. > :26:22.dedication to that is important, but realistically, where you are,

:26:22. > :26:27.comparing two yourself on the top three, four, five riders, a real

:26:27. > :26:31.gold medal prospect? I would think so. I have got time to work on it,

:26:31. > :26:35.and we are working on the points raised now, but as if I had

:26:35. > :26:41.finished three places higher, that is that, that is the difference

:26:41. > :26:44.between winning and losing, so we will start working on its NAV.

:26:44. > :26:49.huge reaction from the crowd cheered, Chris Hoy was talking

:26:49. > :26:55.about its, have you spoken about it here sells at the hotel, the

:26:55. > :27:02.response you have had? It is crazy. It is a much bigger capacity

:27:02. > :27:06.compared to Manchester, so it is a lot louder and it is just fantastic.

:27:06. > :27:13.Keep doing performances like that, and I think you will hear more!

:27:13. > :27:18.Congratulations. Laura is great, what did she like on the team?

:27:18. > :27:23.is always positive and always allowed and good fun to be around.

:27:23. > :27:27.Let surmise Chris Hoy's weekend, bronze and the team sprint, gold in

:27:27. > :27:33.the keirin Giteau tactics, gold and the individuals to show his power,

:27:33. > :27:39.he has got it all in his armoury at the moment. He seems to have the

:27:39. > :27:43.full package and it will be tough to have taken for a Jason, to take

:27:43. > :27:51.that chance away from them for the Olympics, and I think everyone is

:27:51. > :27:56.racing at the moment. And it is young riders like Jess Varnish that

:27:56. > :28:06.are looking at the likes of Chris Hoy for inspiration. Let's have a

:28:06. > :28:07.

:28:07. > :28:15.races, if she had only got one point, she would not have qualified.

:28:15. > :28:25.She qualified by one. Only, cutting edge really fine. The minor final

:28:25. > :28:41.

:28:41. > :28:46.we know there is one person that will be watching this, recovering

:28:46. > :28:51.in hospital, it is the logistics manager of British cycling, he has

:28:51. > :29:01.been involved in this for many years, he has been really ill and

:29:01. > :29:14.

:29:14. > :29:22.we want everyone to know that we're this one off?! She has ridden very

:29:22. > :29:32.courageously and this event. -- in this event. She is a world record

:29:32. > :29:42.holder. 21 years old. She is beginning to flourish now. Had a

:29:42. > :30:15.

:30:15. > :30:23.by its they are very dangerous that bike before it starts off. So

:30:23. > :30:30.they will leave gaps before the bike swings off. That is what we're

:30:30. > :30:37.seeing. Laura Trott is coming over the stop. Sorry I'm still on the

:30:37. > :30:40.last race. Don't worry, I think we were both beguiled by the

:30:40. > :30:46.performances of Laura Trott. There is an early strike from France.

:30:46. > :30:51.They have a lap and a half to go and Varnish will have to pick her

:30:51. > :30:55.speed up, she was caught napping. It will be a big ask to work

:30:55. > :30:59.already way down the side of the field. She has gone right to the

:30:59. > :31:09.back. France are rate on the sharp end of the contest as they come

:31:09. > :31:10.

:31:10. > :31:15.down the straight. It is so close. Top tot goes to the French rider,

:31:15. > :31:22.Sanchez. She finishes seventh over all. But there was a mistake by

:31:22. > :31:26.Varnish. Well it was and she can't go away too disappointed whrin you

:31:26. > :31:32.have a world record in your pocket. -- when you have a world record in

:31:32. > :31:38.your pocket. But once the basis up, you know to feigned that

:31:38. > :31:44.acceleration to get back on terpbls is virtually impossible. -- terms.

:31:44. > :31:51.It is a long way around the outside. Her focus has been on that position.

:31:51. > :31:55.Perhaps that has told a bit in this one. Well she can go awhich with

:31:55. > :32:05.the good morale from her appearance in the World Cup and look forward

:32:05. > :32:08.

:32:08. > :32:13.to the World Championship. Sanchez wins and hong of China was second.

:32:13. > :32:17.This music begins to build the atmosphere ready for the final and

:32:17. > :32:23.the competitors are coming out now. The whole of the stadium here is

:32:23. > :32:33.going to be behind Victoria Pendleton. There is the result for

:32:33. > :32:38.

:32:38. > :32:45.the minor final. Here is the line up for the medals. Anna Meares is

:32:45. > :32:55.the world champion. Pend -- Victoria Pendleton is a former

:32:55. > :33:00.

:33:00. > :33:10.world champion. Lee Wei is a former champion. And we have the European

:33:10. > :33:13.

:33:13. > :33:18.sprint champion, Shu Licka. That is your field. Shulika. They have to

:33:18. > :33:25.keep the power down for an amount of time. That is the way I would

:33:25. > :33:33.like to see her ride. This is one of the events that has been put

:33:33. > :33:40.into the Olympics. Victoria Pendleton has been the world

:33:40. > :33:47.champion for this. She won it in 2007, 2008 she got seventh. She was

:33:47. > :33:53.a missing out by a wis Kerr. She put that down to having too big a

:33:53. > :33:58.gear on. The world champion, Meares, wants to get behind the pacing bike.

:33:58. > :34:04.Victoria Pendleton uses the opposite approach and has no desire

:34:04. > :34:11.to get involved in the shoulder barging and has gone to the back.

:34:11. > :34:18.Maybe she Willem ploy the same tactics. Victoria Pendleton's if I

:34:18. > :34:26.seek is more like an enDaw rans rider. Well she has to -- endurance

:34:26. > :34:30.required. Well she has to produce less power. Meares has come as the

:34:30. > :34:37.world champion in the team sprint., she is the world champion in the

:34:37. > :34:44.sprint and she has been beaten. The world champion in this, if she gets

:34:45. > :34:48.beaten in this, that would be a big message for her morale. She needs

:34:48. > :34:52.to try and do something special here if she will go back to her

:34:52. > :34:59.home country for the final preparation for world championships

:34:59. > :35:06.in Melbourne, which I'm told is a complete Selly day. One of my mates

:35:06. > :35:14.tried -- complete sell-out, every day. My mate tried to get and

:35:14. > :35:20.ticket and was told no chance. Meares well behind the bike. Never

:35:20. > :35:26.fall further back in that distance from the mud guard. It sucks you

:35:26. > :35:31.along nicely. The pace lifting, 45 kilometres an hour is the maximum.

:35:31. > :35:36.Before it drops into the well of the track. You can see the gaps

:35:36. > :35:41.starting to form as the riders leave themselves room to manoeuvre.

:35:41. > :35:51.Is is about now you see somebody trying to make a move to anticipate

:35:51. > :35:51.

:35:51. > :35:55.the pulling off of the bike. But a big gap left there. Neers is clear,

:35:55. > :36:00.-- Meares is clear. The noise is beginning to lift, Victoria

:36:00. > :36:10.Pendleton has made a move down the outside. Still two laps to go.

:36:10. > :36:11.

:36:11. > :36:16.Meares now, comes to the sharp end of the contest. Shulika is also

:36:16. > :36:26.there. 250 metres to go, Victoria Pendleton is on the front. Looking

:36:26. > :36:36.good. And now then can Victoria Pendleton come down the skwhrout

:36:36. > :36:37.

:36:37. > :36:41.side -- outside and steal it? No. I think it was Shulika for bronze.

:36:41. > :36:46.have been singing Lee's praises throughout this and she continues

:36:46. > :36:56.to show that she's on form and not just form, tactically as well. We

:36:56. > :36:58.

:36:58. > :37:04.note this a she went through the composition well. That was the

:37:04. > :37:10.moment when this race was in danger. Krupeckaite re-enforces her

:37:10. > :37:16.reputation. That is why she is wearing that grey strip, a tz -- as

:37:16. > :37:21.the over all world leader. She let Meares go clear and kept her eye on

:37:21. > :37:30.Victoria Pendleton and then that is where Victoria Pendleton was still

:37:30. > :37:36.in the hunt, but the fact that they come through and picked her off the

:37:36. > :37:40.pace. As she pushed her way out, Victoria Pendleton, already tired,

:37:40. > :37:46.couldn't compete and slipped back and there was nowhere else to go.

:37:46. > :37:51.message from this is what we said at the start, Meares has come as a

:37:51. > :37:57.trim world champion andy discipline she has been beaten. -- triple

:37:57. > :38:06.world champion. So the result of women's keirin, a win for

:38:06. > :38:13.Krupeckaite of Lithuania. Well done to cuep. Disappointments for --

:38:13. > :38:19.Krupeckaite. Disappointment for Victoria Pendleton. If you get

:38:19. > :38:23.blocked in, you're this trouble. Explain how you get into that

:38:23. > :38:28.situation. The problem was the Ukrainian is moving over the top

:38:28. > :38:35.and Vicky needs to move out and make her come the long way. Which

:38:35. > :38:40.she has cone done. The Chinese girl come under neath and... It is too

:38:40. > :38:48.far to go around the outside. makes such a difference coming that

:38:48. > :38:56.extra bit. It is a great sprint to the medal. How did you assess

:38:56. > :39:00.Vicky's games? I think they have been concentrating on the team

:39:00. > :39:05.sprint and they nailed that perfect Liverpool I don't think the

:39:05. > :39:11.Australians expected them to to Da. -- they nailed that perfectly. And

:39:11. > :39:15.I don't think the Australians expected them to do that. When

:39:15. > :39:18.Vicky's on form, as she will on the Olympics, she will be lard to beat.

:39:18. > :39:26.We will hear from Victoria Pendleton before long. Now time for

:39:26. > :39:35.the final race and the final medal of this event. This one is the

:39:35. > :39:43.fight for Bronze Medal in the men's sprint. Let's see who takes it.

:39:43. > :39:49.Well your guess is as good as mine. Both I I thought it was game, set

:39:49. > :39:54.and match after Sireau won the first race. So we're now one all

:39:54. > :40:02.and it could go any way. Look at this, Forstemanne, O'Forstemanne,

:40:02. > :40:06.who is renowned as a gate man in the team sprint, she caught Sireau

:40:06. > :40:12.napping and you don't often see this. He has committed himself and

:40:12. > :40:16.using his power and accuse Cemration. Has he got the Sam --

:40:16. > :40:22.acceleration. That was a fantastic move. You don't see it often. He

:40:22. > :40:27.has done its and Sireau has given up. What a fantastic ride. The ride,

:40:27. > :40:35.Forstemanne is cruising around and saluting! And we still haven't

:40:35. > :40:42.completed the distance. Sireau was caught napping. What about that?

:40:42. > :40:46.Forstemanne has come up to get the medal. If we cast our mind back in

:40:47. > :40:51.the World Championship it was Forstemanne who did this to Chris

:40:51. > :40:58.Hoy, he jumped awhich and Chris couldn't get wack on - eback on

:40:58. > :41:04.terms. So the brpbz has gone to Robert Forstemanne. What crowd

:41:04. > :41:09.pleaser. Sireau, well it is an embarrassing situation. It is only

:41:09. > :41:14.when cu get caught, you see her he puts his head forward and

:41:14. > :41:18.Forstemanne accuse sl rates, he can't believeless going to do. --

:41:18. > :41:24.accelerate. He just pretends it is a team sprints. He does not believe

:41:24. > :41:29.it and then he is out of the slip stream and not going to match

:41:30. > :41:38.Forstemanne on acceleration. And he is left wondering what to do in

:41:38. > :41:44.front of 6 thousand people. What an emwar rassment -- in front of 6,000

:41:44. > :41:50.people. What an embarrassment. I won't remind you of Chris Hoy. But

:41:50. > :41:55.there it is. Still not caught him up to give him the congratulations.

:41:55. > :42:00.So there is more than one way to skain cat. That is one way of not

:42:00. > :42:05.only winning a medal, but embarrassing your opponent fpblt it

:42:05. > :42:08.takes some bravery to do that. But will did it. Yes it is the last

:42:08. > :42:14.event of the day. I don't think it is something that people would

:42:14. > :42:20.often do. Everyone's tired and it worked. It is a real blow for the

:42:20. > :42:25.French. This morning they were saying Sireau is the man. Here he

:42:25. > :42:29.is laefring without a medal. But he is still fourth and he lost it in

:42:29. > :42:34.the race, not on hiss form. He is obviously very fast. So there's

:42:34. > :42:37.ways he can improve. We have to blame Chris Hoy for that. It was

:42:37. > :42:41.everyone trying to find ways of beating Chris that got them doing

:42:41. > :42:46.this. Because it got to the point where it was the only way to

:42:46. > :42:52.weather him -- beat him. Auns it has happened to you once - o' once

:42:52. > :42:56.it has happened to you once, you never forget. Let's hear from

:42:56. > :43:01.never forget. Let's hear from Victoria Pendleton. Not way you

:43:01. > :43:07.wanted to end this World Cup. But once she came under you you left

:43:07. > :43:10.yourself with a long way to go? I expected to squeeze through that

:43:10. > :43:14.gap. That was a bit naive. But I haven't got anything left in my

:43:14. > :43:20.legs. That was frg I had. I didn't want the lead out. Because I had,

:43:20. > :43:26.but I was left in a situation where I didn't have the opportunity to be

:43:26. > :43:32.economical today. That is what I needed. So a good experience, but...

:43:32. > :43:39.Sum up this world cup for youfrplt a fantastic start with -- for you,

:43:39. > :43:43.with a tpwantastic start in the team sprint. How would you assess

:43:43. > :43:48.the experience this weekend? It has been a positive learning experience

:43:49. > :43:56.and that is what we set out for it to be. I didn't want to put too

:43:56. > :44:03.high pegtations on myself. But it is nice to win. -- expectation.

:44:03. > :44:09.We're not in peak condition. So to do the performance you want to, and

:44:09. > :44:14.you know, you feel you deserve almost. We have done more what

:44:15. > :44:23.expected to do and next summer we come back and be in much better

:44:23. > :44:28.shape and show them how it's done. Meares has not had the success we

:44:28. > :44:33.have e we're used to see and like you she has one goal that is the

:44:33. > :44:36.Olympics. If you been surprised to see the the way some 069 others --

:44:36. > :44:40.of the others have come through. Particularly Lee from Hong Kong

:44:40. > :44:45.stkph Yes I don't know what her training and how she is campaigning

:44:45. > :44:49.to get to Olympics, its harder if you haven't got a team sprint.

:44:49. > :44:55.Their team sprint isn't as strong. She is probably having to be in

:44:55. > :45:00.good condition for the World Cups to qualify for the Olympics. So it

:45:00. > :45:05.is different routine than we have, we're still building towards that

:45:05. > :45:11.one major goal. Stkpwh between now and the World Championships what

:45:11. > :45:17.will be your focus? Just more tackical stuff. I haven't tumped on

:45:17. > :45:24.that yet this season. And because I haven't raised -- riced much, I'm a

:45:24. > :45:34.bit rusty and I'm the first to say I need wor. I'm happy with my power

:45:34. > :45:37.

:45:37. > :45:43.work. I have got to sharpen it up a Good luck, see you in no Byrne.

:45:43. > :45:47.Victoria says she is a bit rusty, but will they do not see that, the

:45:47. > :45:57.Olympic Games coming your way shortly on the BBC. Let's look at

:45:57. > :46:02.

:46:02. > :46:07.the table at the end of the Everybody should be really pleased.

:46:07. > :46:12.The coaching staff will be very positive. The test eventer was very

:46:12. > :46:20.valuable, to have that experience, they know what to expect from the

:46:20. > :46:26.crowd. A lets hear what Chris and Q make of this, topping of the medal

:46:26. > :46:31.table, Great Britain, was this successful experiment? Yes, very

:46:31. > :46:35.successful and the coaches will be happy with the performances. A sick

:46:35. > :46:40.note that has come through, one that I mentioned in photography,

:46:40. > :46:45.Anna Meares has been beaten in all for disciplines that she has been

:46:45. > :46:48.world champion. The need to treat some things, but I think they can

:46:48. > :46:51.be very pleased with this as a look be very pleased with this as a look

:46:51. > :46:58.forward to the world championships. The only downside is we have

:46:58. > :47:01.invited the world to come and have a go in the Velodrome. Yes, the one

:47:01. > :47:07.thing for me in this is the strength and depth of competition

:47:07. > :47:12.have. Every medal was hard fought for. We can afford, the rest of the

:47:12. > :47:16.world will move forward as well. This can go all the way to the

:47:16. > :47:26.Olympic Games, it can go any way. But great television for the

:47:26. > :47:33.Olympic Games. And torn arousal has come to join as. Congratulations. -

:47:33. > :47:40.- adds to one has come to join as. It was great to get that experience,

:47:40. > :47:47.but the team has had a great weekend, and I think that a Vicky

:47:47. > :47:54.and chess's gold medal has been a great thing Forest. Badly have all

:47:54. > :47:58.really enjoyed it and we're looking forward to the Olympics. We got

:47:58. > :48:01.going on Friday night, and so we were on for a few minutes and

:48:01. > :48:06.suddenly you were celebrating a gold medal ride, what was that

:48:06. > :48:13.like? We were at be disappointed with the time, but we knew we had

:48:13. > :48:16.more in the bank and we wanted to get that right, especially when the

:48:16. > :48:23.Australians broke the world record. I thought, either not at that

:48:23. > :48:29.happen on home soil. Let's get that back. To do this now with the words

:48:29. > :48:34.championships not too far away, and the Olympic Games, perfect for you.

:48:35. > :48:37.It is great to have the momentum, we have got a lot to me or trainee

:48:37. > :48:42.before the words championship entry will keep going and hopefully get

:48:42. > :48:45.faster by the Olympics. It is really competitive for the team

:48:45. > :48:50.pursuit, because with a Wendy Houvenaghel riding in the

:48:50. > :48:56.qualifiers, she hoped to get through, and Dani King in for the

:48:56. > :48:59.final, at a difficult as the team does that to deal with? Weir 18 a

:48:59. > :49:03.four, and when the actors with qualification, we would not be in

:49:04. > :49:09.the final of the buyers, so we made the decision to put Dani King End,

:49:09. > :49:13.and then we're still a team of four and we will still work together for

:49:13. > :49:17.the World Championships and the Olympics. A prime example that as

:49:17. > :49:22.far as endurance riding goes in this country for the women, we have

:49:22. > :49:27.got incredible strength. The group was not just for A macro until

:49:27. > :49:29.recently, there has been a big group all training very hard and it

:49:30. > :49:34.is will be whittled down now because the coaches have to

:49:34. > :49:39.concentrate their energy on small groups. He can see that they are

:49:39. > :49:48.brilliant. Dani King came here without her medals last night,

:49:48. > :49:52.where her Euros? Mine are at home. Not far away for you. Yes, 20 miles

:49:52. > :49:59.away. I went home last night and it was as to sleep in my own bed.

:49:59. > :50:04.individual pursuit, a difficult events. We are saying, you clearly

:50:04. > :50:08.embraced it under pressure. I had not a nanny training for that, but

:50:08. > :50:12.the crowd was behind me, and I thought, am not going to lose the

:50:12. > :50:17.snow and I thought, I have got to do this now and a halt the two

:50:17. > :50:24.bring a toe. D did you watch it last night when you got her own?

:50:24. > :50:32.Are have not seen it yet. atmosphere has made it here,

:50:32. > :50:38.everyone has the said its. It made a difference. You really have to do

:50:38. > :50:42.again for the last kilometre, but the crowd help you to bring it home.

:50:42. > :50:48.What have you been talking about stand there, because this is the

:50:48. > :50:50.first time we had a taste of what the Olympics would be like? It is a

:50:51. > :50:56.test of what the Olympics will be like, the crowd makes a difference,

:50:56. > :51:04.but in the team pursuit, we need to make sure we do not lose control

:51:04. > :51:09.and we need to get on with the job. That is exactly what you have done

:51:09. > :51:15.had exactly what Chris Hoy has done, family and friends a plodding and

:51:15. > :51:25.here at the Velodrome. Let's see him getting his gold medal.

:51:25. > :51:37.

:51:37. > :51:46.medal ceremony for the men's sprint The first man to receive the medal

:51:47. > :51:53.will be the very powerful figure in the German national colours. He

:51:53. > :52:03.really pleased the crowd when he sprinted away from France of.

:52:03. > :52:19.

:52:19. > :52:23.The silver medal going to Germany also. He has got one gold medal

:52:23. > :52:32.from these world sprint competitions at the World Cup. He

:52:32. > :52:39.got a gold medal on day one. And now, the gold medal for the winner

:52:39. > :52:43.of the Sprint, the second gold medal of this World Cup. His 34th

:52:43. > :52:51.gold medal in the World Cup, an astonishing list of achievements,

:52:51. > :52:56.Chris Hoy. That is what the crowd came to see. He really did perform

:52:56. > :53:04.magnificently. The winner of the sprint here, pulling on the grey

:53:04. > :53:13.jersey as the overall World Cup winner. There is a happy lady.

:53:13. > :53:18.Chris Hoy's wife. And not sure about that Jerzy! -- Jerzy! They

:53:18. > :53:28.could have done better than that! The gold medal being handed to him.

:53:28. > :53:45.

:53:45. > :53:50.A great ambassador for a cycling Will that be the podium position

:53:50. > :53:57.for the Olympic Games? The only care about the one-step, and we

:53:57. > :54:07.would like to see at this again. Gold medal winner, Chris Hoy.

:54:07. > :54:07.

:54:07. > :54:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 76 seconds

:54:52. > :55:01.Bronze medal and a silver medal, What a way to end the action in the

:55:01. > :55:05.ballot Jones. -- in the Belaubre Jones. Two gold medals for her

:55:05. > :55:10.Chris Hoy and a bronze medal to start the weekend as well.

:55:10. > :55:14.Congratulations to the German riders as well. That will not

:55:14. > :55:19.happen in the Olympic Games, because only one rider per event

:55:19. > :55:23.per country. Let's see what happens from now, because all of the teams

:55:23. > :55:31.looking fantastic. Taking on the best of the world in the file

:55:31. > :55:36.Redrow Homes. What information do you get from this? Lots of

:55:36. > :55:41.important information, you get the power had put from the bike, you

:55:41. > :55:47.foam although Racers so that they can watch them back and see where

:55:47. > :55:50.they went wrong and went right, so lots of valuable information.

:55:50. > :55:56.very different environment when you decide to focus on the road as you

:55:56. > :56:03.have, most itineraries are printed out and they are told how to train

:56:03. > :56:06.a week on week, but you're on your own on the road. There is a lot of

:56:06. > :56:11.independent training you have to do, I like the freedom of training on

:56:11. > :56:17.my own and training in different places, but the guys in Manchester

:56:17. > :56:21.have a lot of support and we get just enough. I bet you do. By Betty

:56:21. > :56:26.had been told many times that focusing on the great things is

:56:26. > :56:32.that how you get better, if it is focusing on the negative. Have you

:56:32. > :56:36.noticed anything that the team can improve upon? Definitely, the team

:56:36. > :56:42.pursuit qualification right, we were the qualifiers, but at the

:56:42. > :56:45.Olympics, we want to be the fastest qualifiers because we want to

:56:45. > :56:50.decide who gets to the gold medal race. That would be something we

:56:50. > :56:54.want to work on, so it is good to take that away and learn from it.

:56:54. > :56:58.Ensure the growers as the sailors would disagree, but many people

:56:58. > :57:03.believe that the cyclists are the standard bearers, how much within

:57:03. > :57:07.the sport are you feeling that pressure? We're feeling the

:57:07. > :57:15.pressure, but I think since Beijing, we are used to it. It is of

:57:15. > :57:19.something that will affect us. We are all used to be media attention.

:57:19. > :57:23.Her next stop will be the world championships, plenty of media

:57:23. > :57:28.attention there. It is frame it's like a world championship. Much

:57:28. > :57:32.bigger than the World Cup. It is the biggest event I had been end.

:57:33. > :57:37.You have to remind yourself, this is the World Cup with lots more to

:57:37. > :57:43.come. Great to soak up the atmosphere and get experience.

:57:43. > :57:48.Grades to enjoy it while we can. Apologies that we are denying your

:57:48. > :57:52.a photo opportunity, because the most successful team is getting

:57:52. > :57:56.their photograph taken. Most of these guys, you spend your time and

:57:56. > :58:02.living with them, a wedding but then, training with them, how could

:58:02. > :58:06.a bunch how they trained with? are great, Chris Hoy is that a

:58:06. > :58:13.leader and inspiration to everybody. A great team, all of these gods

:58:13. > :58:23.coming to get there. Raids to work and went together. When you are on

:58:23. > :58:25.

:58:25. > :58:30.the road, you have got to other is riding -- others riding with you,

:58:30. > :58:35.you have got hungry young riders and experienced people as well?

:58:35. > :58:38.we have one of the strongest teams in the world right now in road

:58:38. > :58:45.racing, so it is about as coming together and supporting you jellaba

:58:45. > :58:55.best we can. How great to see there's shots of the stadium coming

:58:55. > :59:13.

:59:13. > :59:23.out of the ground here at the ANNOUNCER to stay with us and we

:59:23. > :59:39.

:59:39. > :59:44.will try and get the programme back We currently have technical

:59:44. > :59:54.problems with World Cup citing and we hope to remedy this as soon as

:59:54. > :59:54.

:59:54. > :00:35.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 76 seconds

:00:35. > :00:41.Apologies for the technical problem x this is BBC Two and we hope to

:00:41. > :00:51.get the world track cycling back up and on air so we can continue can

:00:51. > :01:25.

:01:25. > :01:34.Good news now, we can now return to our coverage of the world track

:01:34. > :01:39.cycling. Sorry about that, if you lost us on BBC Two. It was a good

:01:39. > :01:44.job that happened after the action on the track had finished. We were

:01:44. > :01:50.chatting with the lady about their plans. We have heard from them the

:01:50. > :01:57.fact that Lizzie is aiming to have a nice easy ride before the

:01:57. > :02:02.Olympics. But no such joy for Mark Cavendish. How do you prepare?

:02:02. > :02:09.have World Championships in April and then we will go off probably do

:02:09. > :02:15.some road racing, a bit lake Lizzie is doing. Me and Danni are in the

:02:15. > :02:21.same team and we will race in Belgium and the UK. That will help

:02:21. > :02:25.us in the third kilo of the race 5 come back to the track in May and

:02:26. > :02:30.June and July and then it will be Auk August. It is about peaking at

:02:30. > :02:36.the perfect moment. How much help do you get for that? A lot of help

:02:36. > :02:42.it is important o' get a good base and then we get a lot of help. We

:02:43. > :02:47.have the best support in the world. For you, what is the aim? It is a

:02:47. > :02:51.disappointment that the individual pursuit, which you're flying at, is

:02:52. > :02:56.in longer part of the Olympics. but even if it were, I would be

:02:56. > :03:01.focusing on the team. That has been my favourite event. And I hope as a

:03:01. > :03:04.team we can go there and beat the rest of the world and win it and

:03:05. > :03:10.maybe break the world record again. How do you feel about the changes

:03:11. > :03:16.to the Olympic programme, it has been done to have parity between

:03:16. > :03:22.the men's and women's event. Is it the rigt thing? It is the right

:03:22. > :03:26.thing for women's sighling. It is a shame the individual pursuit has

:03:26. > :03:32.gone. But it is good that the omnium is there. It will still be

:03:32. > :03:37.there, but not quite the same. I'm glad we have equal events. Lizzie?

:03:37. > :03:42.Yes I am disappointed, because I lost my event in the points race.

:03:42. > :03:47.But it is fantastic and it means the women's squad will be equal to

:03:47. > :03:52.the men's squad. That should have been the way it was a long time ago.

:03:52. > :03:56.Now let's get the thoughts of the performance director for the team.

:03:56. > :04:04.He has made a few big calls this week and they seem to have worked

:04:04. > :04:09.ow. He is with Jill. A successful weekend, you ended up on top step

:04:09. > :04:13.as the most successful team here. What are the chances of you

:04:13. > :04:18.fulfilling that same spot in six months time? Well I don't know what

:04:18. > :04:21.the chances are: But we have built some momentum here and it is a big

:04:21. > :04:27.step forward and we will do everything to make sure we can

:04:27. > :04:31.repeat this level of performance. Some stand out performances,

:04:31. > :04:36.particularly on Friday, with world records tumbling. What has been the

:04:36. > :04:42.stand out in your mind? Well I don't think I would go for a stand

:04:42. > :04:47.out individual performance. What I'm pleased to see is the self

:04:47. > :04:52.belief and the whole team, the riders, the staff, the whole hame e

:04:52. > :04:57.tome has come together. The belief systems are in place. -- the whole

:04:57. > :05:01.team has come together. That has come together and so to me that is

:05:01. > :05:05.what I'm happy about. But on the back of that, Chris, you know the

:05:05. > :05:09.world record, Vicky, they all deserve a huge pat on the back for

:05:09. > :05:13.the work they have done. Let's look at one or two individual

:05:13. > :05:17.performances. The men's team pursuit today. Australia looked to

:05:17. > :05:22.be in amazing form and they have been for the last couple of years.

:05:22. > :05:28.I saw you looking at the numbers can the coach, obviously there is

:05:28. > :05:34.some work to be done there. Are you confident, do you think there is an

:05:34. > :05:37.improvement to come? Oh yes. From our point of view, you can't affect

:05:37. > :05:43.what the Australians are doing. If you look at where we were and where

:05:43. > :05:48.we have got to, that is a big step forward. That is important. Last

:05:48. > :05:52.autumn at the Europeans, our performances were not great and we

:05:52. > :05:56.weren't putting it together. They have put in a hard winter and we're

:05:56. > :06:01.pulling together well. We can only control what we are doing. I'm

:06:01. > :06:04.confident that we will be better in August. Interesting to hear Ed

:06:04. > :06:09.Clancy saying if everyone stops messing about on the road, I think

:06:09. > :06:13.we can move forward. Will that happen now in Well if it doesn't,

:06:13. > :06:18.if they don't commit to one vent, they're in trouble. I would agree.

:06:18. > :06:21.But I don't think, I think for Geraint and Pete and Ben, they are

:06:21. > :06:26.commit add now it is a question of building on this performance and

:06:26. > :06:32.committing. The danger, what Ed's alluding to so if they keep one eye

:06:32. > :06:39.on the road and try and do this. The problem is you will dilute both.

:06:39. > :06:46.It is one or the other. The guys have been toe kused on this.

:06:46. > :06:55.that is why certain riders go just for the road. -- focused. Bradley

:06:55. > :07:04.Wiggins has Mark Cavendish have decided to do that. And Olly

:07:04. > :07:11.Williams watched him in action. Mark Cavendish has won the world

:07:11. > :07:20.title for Great Britain. It is nice to be back with a group of riders

:07:20. > :07:29.who I have grown up with. Olympics, it is crucial.

:07:29. > :07:36.Olympics, I'm carrying the weight of Britain. Mark Cavendish. Unusual

:07:36. > :07:41.surroundings for Mark Cavendish. In the Qatar desert with a new team.

:07:41. > :07:51.But he is still the same Mark Cavendish, winning stages and

:07:51. > :07:55.crashing baix. # Come on man. - crashing bikes. It has come down

:07:55. > :08:05.hard. But calve's tough and he will be back up and raring to go in a

:08:05. > :08:06.

:08:06. > :08:11.day or two. It took a minute, but he will be in pain tomorrow.

:08:11. > :08:21.you OK? I landed on the back of my head and I'm a bit dizzy. Which bit

:08:21. > :08:23.

:08:23. > :08:28.is suffering the most? My neck. My helmet disintegrated. The switch to

:08:29. > :08:35.Skye -- Sky has been widely anticipated and he is back with his

:08:35. > :08:40.old coach. Mark's a good rider and he would make it in his own way,

:08:40. > :08:43.but he know why we're working with him. No one's trying to make

:08:43. > :08:49.something off the back of Mark. He is with us, because he trusts us,

:08:49. > :08:57.we have worked a long time together and when you tell him, or you're

:08:57. > :09:03.honest him, he knows why. So for sure in this team he can go a long

:09:03. > :09:06.way. We worked together with the GB team but it was a case of

:09:06. > :09:13.definitely having to keep my professional team and Britain as

:09:13. > :09:17.separate. We did that well. Good luck. What does it give you?

:09:17. > :09:22.knows what it is to be a bike rider and he lives for it. It is more

:09:23. > :09:28.than a job for him. It is a life and a commitment. He has as much

:09:28. > :09:35.passion for it as I have. If he was a young guy and wanting direction

:09:35. > :09:42.and I was able to offer him that. Wig gapbls and then Cavendish.

:09:42. > :09:47.-- Wiggins and then Cavendish. Cavendish pickeded up cycling's

:09:47. > :09:52.rainbow jersey for the first time. It was incredible. I was so nervous.

:09:52. > :09:57.I don't rally get that nervous. Because I'm in control of what I do.

:09:57. > :10:01.But with the public vote. It is out of your control and it is bestowed

:10:01. > :10:06.on youfpt Steve Redgrave put his hand on my shoulder and I shrugged

:10:06. > :10:11.it off, because I didn't want to kind of jinx anything or believe it.

:10:11. > :10:19.It fills you with a massive sense of pride to show what you have

:10:19. > :10:29.achieved has been appreciated. July 20 tefl e 12 -- 2012 the

:10:29. > :10:40.

:10:40. > :10:46.setting will be nothing like the The Olympics is something different.

:10:46. > :10:51.It is, it means something different. You're pulling on a jersey that

:10:51. > :10:55.rents the country and the people that's supporting you and your

:10:55. > :11:02.nation. I'm a patriotic guy and to ride the Olympic and it being in

:11:02. > :11:08.London, first medal on offer and it suits us, you know I'm going in I

:11:08. > :11:13.as one of the favourites. I'm looking forward to the end of July.

:11:13. > :11:18.Well a couple of stage wins are not bad and then Mark move on to Oman.

:11:18. > :11:24.But he was 149 in the sprint. That is a sprint he won last year. So

:11:24. > :11:30.not fantastic news. But Bradley Wiggins started well and beat the

:11:30. > :11:35.current world champion, Tony Martin to win the time trial in Algarve.

:11:35. > :11:39.It was shorter than Olympic distance, but still a morale

:11:40. > :11:45.boosting moment? Yes Tony Martin's a nice scalp to have before the

:11:45. > :11:50.Olympics. He is phenomenal and for Bradley to beat him in not a long

:11:50. > :11:54.stage race is impressive. A chat about your Olympics, there was an

:11:54. > :11:59.issue with Nicole Cook and whether people were riding for themselves

:11:59. > :12:03.or the team. How is your rilgsship with her now? -- relationship. We

:12:03. > :12:07.have a camp next week on the Olympics, so it will be the first

:12:07. > :12:11.time the team's back together. there be a conversation had? Yes we

:12:11. > :12:16.will have to have one. I'm looking forward to it and clearing the air.

:12:16. > :12:21.How important is it to get on with your fellow team mate, or can you

:12:21. > :12:24.put up with each other when you need to? It is a kis of -- case of

:12:25. > :12:28.being professional. I would always work with somebody if they had a

:12:28. > :12:33.better chance of winning, regardless ofly like them. It is

:12:33. > :12:39.being professional. You expect to be given the nod as the lady the

:12:40. > :12:45.team will go to to get the gold. I'm not expecting it, but I'm work

:12:45. > :12:48.hard. Well feedback when you have that conversation. And now you can

:12:48. > :12:53.see live coverage of the World Championships on the BBC. It

:12:53. > :12:56.happening on the other side of world in autumn and that gets the

:12:56. > :13:00.nerves jangling. That is not long away. No, we have got about enough

:13:00. > :13:03.time for one more training block and then we will be there. It is

:13:04. > :13:08.Noor, but we have the momentum and we have had a good performance. I

:13:08. > :13:15.can't wait. The message is clear from these ladies, the work never

:13:15. > :13:19.stopss and we will be there. Thank you to our commentary team. That is

:13:19. > :13:29.it from here. The next time the cyclists climb off the coach here

:13:29. > :13:39.

:13:39. > :13:47.they will be greeted with this - # Help me through all the noise
