:00:57. > :01:02.the magnificent Sir Chris Hoy velodrome as the City is up for the

:01:02. > :01:12.Games. Given what happened in London, Glasgow may find itself

:01:12. > :01:48.

:01:48. > :01:52.And they are absolutely flying, Great Britain. Great Britain are

:01:52. > :02:02.the world champions. They are now the Olympic champions. They are on

:02:07. > :02:12.fire. They are on fire! Here comes Chris Hoy. A new world record!

:02:12. > :02:19.Kenny is the Olympic sprint champion. He wins the Gold Medal

:02:19. > :02:25.and he has won in style. Victoria Pendleton has ignited a burners.

:02:25. > :02:33.She is the Olympic champion. The gold medal is Great Britain's. They

:02:33. > :02:38.come up to the line. Look at the time. A new world record. Laura

:02:38. > :02:48.Trott is on fire. Victoria Pendleton has career ends on a

:02:51. > :02:58.Sir Chris Hoy is with me. I get emotional watching that. How do you

:02:58. > :03:04.feel? You can't beat a good montage. It is nice to have so many happy

:03:04. > :03:11.memories. It is incredible to be here in Glasgow are the track and

:03:11. > :03:16.see the crowd getting into it. It is a huge honour. It is named after

:03:16. > :03:23.you. It must be Will it. Yes, it is weird being here and not competing.

:03:23. > :03:29.Seen all of the guys, seeing the rivals and all the people I have

:03:29. > :03:39.complete it with vigour as the years and not being in a Lycra. You

:03:39. > :03:40.

:03:40. > :03:45.do miss it. You miss the adrenalin. You have not retired. No, not yet.

:03:45. > :03:50.Ideally I'll be back for the Commonwealth Games. I am not

:03:50. > :03:56.thinking too far ahead. I'm taking one step at a time. I am 37 in

:03:56. > :04:03.March. One step at a time. I am off to Australia in December. That is

:04:03. > :04:12.my first training since the Olympic Games. We were see what happens. I

:04:12. > :04:17.will be building up towards 2014. Greg McLean was here, he's never

:04:17. > :04:22.taken as much time off. Is there any chance you might decide you

:04:22. > :04:27.don't want to do it? No chance I don't want to. My motivation is

:04:27. > :04:34.there. It is literally when I can do it or not and physically able or

:04:34. > :04:44.not. It is not a matter of the team, there are so many towns and riders

:04:44. > :04:50.coming through. I want to go there to win. If I believe I Can do That

:04:50. > :04:56.and I am able, I'll be there. That's the hard thing, the Olympic

:04:56. > :05:03.Games... Had to pick yourself up, that's not easy. It's not that you

:05:03. > :05:10.have to come... You have to come off the high, come down, let your

:05:10. > :05:15.body recover and mentally... You have to make a strategy for the

:05:15. > :05:21.next four years. I will not be in Rio but most of the guys in London

:05:21. > :05:31.will be there. It is about pacing yourself. You want to be world

:05:31. > :05:41.champion every year but... A busy afternoon ahead. This is what is

:05:41. > :05:42.

:05:42. > :05:52.coming up on day three. The final Jason Kenny fell off yesterday and

:05:52. > :06:12.

:06:12. > :06:15.Yesterday in the keirin we saw Jason Kenny fell off. It will be

:06:15. > :06:25.interesting to get your view on what happened. It must be a

:06:25. > :06:27.

:06:27. > :06:35.disappointment. Yes, he looks of He didn't quite have the gas to

:06:35. > :06:41.come round. He came into far, touch the back will. Ice-pick to the

:06:41. > :06:45.national coach and he said he was looking back inside to see why the

:06:45. > :06:55.French rider was and took his eye off the German back wheel. We are

:06:55. > :06:58.

:06:58. > :07:08.talking small margins. He came back down the inside and lost it. My

:07:08. > :07:09.

:07:09. > :07:19.father has broken his collarbone. Jason was a surprise to he did not

:07:19. > :07:27.get on top more easily. Jason has been very busy. He is not on the

:07:27. > :07:34.same form he was. On Olympic form it would be a relatively

:07:34. > :07:44.comfortable victory. Unfortunately he wasn't and off to care is going

:07:44. > :07:47.

:07:47. > :07:57.Accidents can happen and it is hard to pick out a winner. The team

:07:57. > :08:14.

:08:14. > :08:20.sprint with Ed Clancy try to step the wheels. He has managed it. That

:08:20. > :08:30.was close. He managed to do it. Jason Kenny, the fastest second a

:08:30. > :08:33.

:08:33. > :08:38.lap rider in the team sprint in the world. It is close! It is a big ask,

:08:39. > :08:48.0.2 in a single race. The closing stages, Germany take it from Great

:08:49. > :09:02.

:09:02. > :09:08.Ed Clancy said I am no Chris Hoy, not yet. He did fantastically well.

:09:08. > :09:12.He is getting thrown into an event, the first 10 seconds he is

:09:12. > :09:18.producing more power in the perils than ever before in its team

:09:18. > :09:25.pursuit. He has a 10 weeks training to meet the transition. I think he

:09:25. > :09:29.did incredibly well. It is a great hope for the future. He could

:09:29. > :09:35.easily go back to to the seat if he didn't enjoy it so be as nothing to

:09:35. > :09:38.lose this season. And he is a relatively keener road rider. Would

:09:38. > :09:44.he want to do the weights which are necessary to become a true

:09:45. > :09:49.sprinter? That is the key thing. If he starts in the gym, his speed and

:09:49. > :09:55.power would suffer initially and it would take time. The decision was

:09:55. > :10:00.not to put him on that route initially, put him on the track. If

:10:00. > :10:05.he makes the transition properly he will spend a full winter or six

:10:05. > :10:09.months developing the strength in the gym to transfer onto the track.

:10:09. > :10:17.It would take 18 months to see that come to fruition. Ed is an amazing

:10:17. > :10:26.sprint athlete. He has some endurance but exceptional speed and

:10:26. > :10:36.powers of. He does have the ability and that is off the back of the

:10:36. > :10:38.

:10:38. > :10:44.training. To you think this is him try to find a new motivation?

:10:44. > :10:48.has always been a team player. He is an exceptional individual, he

:10:48. > :10:54.could be a multi- gold medallist but chooses to put his focus on

:10:54. > :10:59.team sprint. He thrives in that environment. I think he could

:10:59. > :11:04.succeed at anything he turns his hand to. It is nice after the

:11:04. > :11:12.intensity of the Olympics to have a change of focus. I did that after

:11:12. > :11:16.Sydney, I was doing the first lap and then I went to the keirin for

:11:16. > :11:26.training for Athens. Making a slight change can elongate your

:11:26. > :11:31.

:11:31. > :11:35.career. Eddie is only 27. It is exciting. -- he is only 27. We were

:11:35. > :11:45.on the track early on. We have some pictures of the being introduced to

:11:45. > :11:48.

:11:48. > :11:55.the crowd. You look like a proud schoolboy. It was amazing. Some of

:11:55. > :12:01.the crowd got on their feet. It is always a bit embarrassing, you

:12:01. > :12:11.don't know what to do. It is an amazing feeling. Just to be here

:12:11. > :12:11.

:12:11. > :12:17.and Philae see the facility. The building started as to seek it for

:12:17. > :12:27.a major championship is special. Your career started in Scotland,

:12:27. > :12:51.

:12:51. > :12:55.let's look at this. This is your Look at this, a sensational time!

:12:55. > :13:01.It is it after untruthfully. first ever winner in the

:13:01. > :13:07.Commonwealth Games to Scotland. Chris Hoy looking for the line.

:13:07. > :13:16.Look at the time, fantastic! Chris Hoy is the world champion. Great

:13:16. > :13:21.Britain take gold. To get two gold medals in 24 hours is unbelievable.

:13:21. > :13:31.Chris Hoy it is the Olympic champion! The Commonwealth champion,

:13:31. > :13:34.

:13:34. > :13:43.the world champion! Scotland take the gold. Chris Hoy takes it.

:13:43. > :13:48.goes beyond my expectations. Chris Hoy is the world sprint champion.

:13:48. > :13:56.Nobody is going to stop the flying Scot. Chris Hoy brings the team

:13:56. > :14:02.home to take the gold medal. Chris Hoy of Great Britain takes gold.

:14:02. > :14:08.has got it. Chris Hoy is the Olympic sprint champion. You try

:14:08. > :14:15.and keep a lid on it but eventually it comes out. A Night to Remember.

:14:15. > :14:20.The BBC Sports personality of the year 2008 is Chris Foy. To be

:14:20. > :14:25.crowned Sports personality of the year it means so much. A thunderous

:14:25. > :14:35.applause. The crowd are going absolutely mad. Gold medal for

:14:35. > :14:45.Great Britain. A new world record. Chris Horley gets the gold medal in

:14:45. > :14:54.

:14:54. > :15:00.the keirin. His 6th gold medal -- I am going to cry. You can have had

:15:00. > :15:04.no idea what lay ahead Aviv. Not at all and to think I would still be

:15:04. > :15:07.riding my bike in my mid-thirties, to make a living out of riding a

:15:07. > :15:13.bike which was something I never thought would be possible. It

:15:13. > :15:17.started out as a hobby. I love the sport and still do. It is amazing.

:15:17. > :15:27.When you look back, some of those clips are so old, they should be

:15:27. > :15:30.

:15:30. > :15:39.Those narrow frames! It is lovely to have such a nice memories and

:15:39. > :15:45.your team mates from over the years. I am not retiring yet, but it is a

:15:45. > :15:52.time in your career to look back and reflect. I am very proud and it

:15:52. > :15:58.is nice to have these amazing memories. Victoria Pendleton has

:15:58. > :16:03.retired which leaves an opportunity in the Sprint. Let's hear from

:16:03. > :16:09.Becky James. How do you feel to be looked at as maybe the next

:16:09. > :16:15.Victoria Pendleton? It is quite exciting. To live up to the

:16:15. > :16:19.standard of anything she has done would be unbelievable. I am looking

:16:19. > :16:26.forward to stepping in and getting the racing in. In the past I have

:16:26. > :16:29.not had chances to go to the World Cup. Hopefully I'll get a chance to

:16:29. > :16:34.race with the Jessica Varnish around the world. How frustrating

:16:34. > :16:44.was it to watch the London Olympics? Obviously you enjoyed

:16:44. > :16:50.your team-mates's gross excess? But there must be some mixed feelings.

:16:50. > :16:55.After a accepted it, I'd just got back into training. Watching the

:16:55. > :16:59.Olympics motivated my training, thinking how much I wanted to be

:16:59. > :17:06.there some day. I was training with the boys constantly and they really

:17:06. > :17:11.pushed me on. It was probably one of the most frustrating times of my

:17:11. > :17:16.life, but to see everyone do so well was inspiring. How would you

:17:16. > :17:22.compare yourself to Victoria, you have different physique, you are

:17:22. > :17:28.much taller, how would you describe yourself? I don't really know what

:17:28. > :17:38.to say. I want to be an all-round rider, I don't want to specialise

:17:38. > :17:41.

:17:41. > :17:49.in one thing. I think I can aim for all three events. Jessica is a fast

:17:49. > :17:55.rider over the lap, but she had Victoria in the other events. I am

:17:55. > :18:00.not specialise to one certain thing. I think I'm an all-rounder. Among

:18:00. > :18:04.stole the celebration of the Games, the one heartbreak story was

:18:04. > :18:09.Jessica Varnish going away with the medal disqualification. But she has

:18:09. > :18:19.a new partnership now, how do you see that shaping up? They have got

:18:19. > :18:24.the potential to be world beaters. Jessica deserve to get something

:18:24. > :18:29.for the four years of hard work. She performed very well, a personal

:18:29. > :18:34.best at the Games. One of the heartbreaking moments in sport.

:18:34. > :18:41.Hopefully in years to come she will realise that in a different context

:18:41. > :18:48.and it will drive her honour. She has a great future, obviously with

:18:48. > :18:55.Becky as well. She has been a junior world champion, Commonwealth

:18:55. > :18:59.Games finalist. She really knows how to read a race well. It may

:18:59. > :19:06.well push each other on and inspire each other. Victoria did not have

:19:06. > :19:16.that through much of her career, she was on her own. It was cold as

:19:16. > :19:21.

:19:21. > :19:26.a team and on Saturday they went sprint getting underway. It brings

:19:26. > :19:30.together Becky James and Jessica Varnish. They qualified second and

:19:30. > :19:36.third which means they were destined to meet at this stage of

:19:36. > :19:46.the competition. The rider at the back here wearing the black and

:19:46. > :19:47.

:19:47. > :19:50.white Helmand is a Becky James of Wales. -- helmet. I think we would

:19:50. > :20:00.give the nod to Becky James as far of her as having a more sprint

:20:00. > :20:06.experience. It must be quite refreshing for Jess FA wish to have

:20:06. > :20:10.a change of scene. A full house begging here, and the two you were

:20:10. > :20:15.looking at on the track already have won gold medal in their pocket

:20:15. > :20:24.here from the competition having clinched the team's sprint. They

:20:24. > :20:34.are racing against each other today. Two laps to go in semi-final number

:20:34. > :20:34.

:20:34. > :20:41.two. Becky James content at the moment to stop her opponent and

:20:41. > :20:49.wait for the opportunity to bounce. There is no messing about, they are

:20:49. > :20:59.both accelerating. Great move there by Becky James, a former junior

:20:59. > :21:04.world champion. The Welsh girl is on fire here. She is very young,

:21:04. > :21:11.but she is maturing all the time. Down the finishing straight,

:21:11. > :21:18.Jessica Varnish get sit on the line! She finally topples James on

:21:18. > :21:28.the final launch for the line. was certainly interesting to watch.

:21:28. > :21:36.We could see the experience of Becky James. Jessica Varnish did

:21:36. > :21:44.not panic, she waited, accelerated down the back straight. She waited

:21:44. > :21:50.until the final straight before pushing for home. Very well timed.

:21:50. > :21:56.Here is a chance to see how the tactic developed. James using the

:21:56. > :22:03.height, she went for the inside position. I did not think Jessica

:22:03. > :22:07.Varnish had the firepower to get on terms with James. They are so

:22:07. > :22:17.evenly matched her looking at that qualifying time, but she played it

:22:17. > :22:35.

:22:35. > :22:40.so well in the backstreets. -- it race won, Jessica Varnish. Res two

:22:40. > :22:50.of the second semi-final of the women's sprint. A brilliant display

:22:50. > :23:00.of acceleration by Jessica Varnish. Becky James at the front here, the

:23:00. > :23:04.

:23:04. > :23:11.Welsh git -- girl got a silver in in this competition. You have to

:23:11. > :23:21.remember these two have been in competition to get that teams

:23:21. > :23:22.

:23:22. > :23:26.banned place with the Victoria Pendleton. Jessica Varnish is 22 on

:23:26. > :23:32.Monday. If she could win this competition that that would be a

:23:32. > :23:40.wonderful birthday present. These are the likely two that will

:23:40. > :23:46.represent Britain in Rio. Two laps to go, the second semi-final of the

:23:46. > :23:54.women's sprint. It is an all- British affair. Becky James leading

:23:54. > :24:04.at the moment. Jessica Varnish brimming over with confidence.

:24:04. > :24:18.

:24:18. > :24:28.Becky James is trying to control takes the second one! We will have

:24:28. > :24:37.

:24:37. > :24:43.come into play. James managed to control that race very well indeed.

:24:43. > :24:52.She did not give Jessica Varnish the chance to accelerated down that

:24:52. > :24:58.back straight. I wonder how much energy it will take out of both of

:24:59. > :25:05.these riders having to go to three, when the other two tidy their semi-

:25:05. > :25:15.finals up in two. It was a determined effort by James. She

:25:15. > :25:15.

:25:15. > :25:25.wanted another race, she wanted to take it to a decider. The two

:25:25. > :25:45.

:25:45. > :25:55.then Becky James took race two. Jessica Varnish has probably got a

:25:55. > :26:14.

:26:14. > :26:23.slightly bigger engine. Becky James 20-year-old representing Great

:26:23. > :26:33.Britain. Her team-mate, Jessica Varnish. The winner of this clash

:26:33. > :26:52.

:26:52. > :26:57.will going to the final and race cannot let James control the race.

:26:57. > :27:03.Varnish looks as though she wants to ride from the front. She feels

:27:03. > :27:12.as though this is her best chance. There is work to do here for Becky

:27:12. > :27:17.James. Varnish settling down to the job in hand. On the line, Jessica

:27:17. > :27:24.Varnish wins and goes through to the final. There was no hesitation

:27:24. > :27:33.that there from Becky James. She gave her an awful lot of rope, and

:27:33. > :27:43.in the end it was just too much. She was closing, but her timing was

:27:43. > :27:53.out. Varnish, obviously fully confident she could hold off James

:27:53. > :27:53.

:27:53. > :28:03.for a full lap. High am surprised by that one. I really am. James

:28:03. > :28:06.

:28:06. > :28:12.gave her a lot of distance. The street it is 10m longer. There we

:28:12. > :28:16.are. Jessica Varnish very happy with that result. They are great

:28:16. > :28:25.friends. It is all about what to Jessica Varnish can do when she

:28:25. > :28:35.shapes up against the German. Two competitors here riding in races

:28:35. > :28:50.

:28:50. > :29:00.the competitor from Hong Kong. A great opportunity for Becky James

:29:00. > :29:09.to get a medal. She was only just beaten here by Jessica Varnish. It

:29:09. > :29:19.was a close-fought thing. She needs to try and get in control here.

:29:19. > :29:22.

:29:23. > :29:27.They know each other well. Becky James lost 2-1 to her in Colombia.

:29:27. > :29:34.I do think the young rider from Wales can take her competitor to

:29:34. > :29:44.the limit. James takes it on the line! That crouching familiar style

:29:44. > :29:49.

:29:49. > :29:59.of her as. Sharp acceleration, but she did not need that to there. She

:29:59. > :30:00.

:30:00. > :30:06.was able to accelerate at her own pace. You're going there long way

:30:06. > :30:11.round to get around to a competitor. In the home straight, you're

:30:11. > :30:21.effectively going downhill. That was a great win for Becky James.

:30:21. > :30:22.

:30:22. > :30:26.She has an excellent chance of waiting to come out of the

:30:26. > :30:34.slipstream. Using the slight downhill on the finishing straight

:30:34. > :30:42.to get herself in front. Jess Varnish is racing against the

:30:42. > :30:51.former junior world champion, Kristina Vogel. Kristina Vogel

:30:51. > :30:58.leads off on the inside. Kristina Vogel is an Olympic gold medallist.

:30:58. > :31:07.Jess Varnish is fired up for this one. She rode strongly in the semi-

:31:07. > :31:12.final. I think she will stretch Kristina Vogel. Kristina Vogel has

:31:12. > :31:21.a lot of experience in this event. She is on great form. Jess Varnish

:31:21. > :31:29.has a battle on her hands. She has had to work hard to get here.

:31:29. > :31:37.Kristina Vogel is a former junior world champion. She knows she has

:31:37. > :31:43.the ability. Different styles of sprinting. Jess Varnish is a

:31:43. > :31:53.typical 500 metres star rider, likes to go for a long sprint.

:31:53. > :32:03.

:32:03. > :32:09.Kristina Vogel keepy control by -- ridden. Kristina Vogel is too

:32:09. > :32:16.quick for her. The German takes it. A good tactical move by Jess

:32:16. > :32:26.Varnish but left itself with too much to do. Kristina Vogel made it

:32:26. > :32:42.

:32:42. > :32:49.look like she was at full tilt. spirited effort by Varnish. As they

:32:49. > :32:59.come to the line, she closed it significantly. Three-quarters of a

:32:59. > :33:15.

:33:15. > :33:25.bike length. This is race two in victory is going to elevate her

:35:12. > :35:18.was very small. It just wasn't enough. Tactics are critical here.

:35:18. > :35:24.This was the builder. I thought the fact Lee stalled a little bit. She

:35:24. > :35:34.hesitated. But the difference. She waited and waited and launched a

:35:34. > :35:38.

:35:38. > :35:48.little bit later. -- that's the lulling her into a false sense of

:35:48. > :36:07.

:36:07. > :36:12.security. We now have to go it engine she's been developing. There

:36:12. > :36:20.was a technical infringement but the fall was there. She is really

:36:20. > :36:26.going to have to pull everything out here to beat the German. She

:36:26. > :36:34.needs to keep control of the race. Kristina Vogel is the pure sprinter.

:36:34. > :36:41.Varnish, we saw in the semi-final, is the pure sprinter. Just Varnish

:36:41. > :36:47.is a powerful. She is very very strong. They are pushing and

:36:47. > :36:53.shoving him. Varnish gets to the front. She must feel confident she

:36:53. > :36:59.can lead this out. She would try to stop the German using the speeches

:36:59. > :37:06.got. She will try and intimidate her. Varnish is gambling on the

:37:06. > :37:13.long one. Kristina Vogel try to ExCel right. Yes, she wins. The

:37:13. > :37:20.Varnish is getting the silver and Kristina Vogel gets the gold. The

:37:20. > :37:30.victory salute. She worked at the tactics and tried but it didn't

:38:12. > :38:16.tactics. They have been so evenly matched in the competition. It is

:38:16. > :38:25.about getting the tactics just right. A slight mistake on timing

:38:25. > :38:31.by Becky James or an improvement by Lee changed the results. It is

:38:31. > :38:39.going to be close. Very little to choose between them. Can a Becky

:38:39. > :38:49.James at the Proms to the silver Jess Varnish has already won? --

:38:49. > :39:00.

:39:00. > :39:09.by the looks of it. Discouraging Becky James from going for the long

:39:09. > :39:15.one. The same tactics. One and a quarter laps to go. They are

:39:15. > :39:22.beginning to get it is turning. Lee in the whites, a tactical move by

:39:22. > :39:28.James. Becky James said thank you, I take the invitation. You need

:39:28. > :39:33.courage and bravery to do that. Here she comes. The bronze medal

:39:33. > :39:41.goes to Becky James. Brilliantly written, tactically astute. That

:39:41. > :39:48.was a gutsy move. She did not hesitate. Lee was shocked for an

:39:48. > :39:53.instant. An instant is all it took. Some fantastic reactions. Seizing

:39:53. > :40:00.the opportunity, absolutely commitment to go for the gap. She

:40:00. > :40:07.kept the height coming in to the final lap. She had the extra

:40:07. > :40:14.acceleration. A smile to melt your heart. Spellbinding action. It was

:40:14. > :40:19.a spellbinding move. You can see the height she has got. She waited

:40:19. > :40:28.for Lee to glance back and dived underneath. It was all the

:40:28. > :40:32.opportunity she needed. It was tactics but decided. But really was

:40:32. > :40:42.a fantastic news. The outcome changed in the blink of an eye.

:40:42. > :40:46.James took the opportunity, accelerated away. It's all over.

:40:46. > :40:51.Because she came underneath she got extra height to come down the track

:40:51. > :40:55.with extra acceleration. That was great. There's a big representation

:40:55. > :41:00.from the James dynasty here. That from the James dynasty here. That

:41:00. > :41:05.will please them. That move got eight nods of approval. That was

:41:05. > :41:09.gutsy. When you watch the video it looks straightforward, go for the

:41:09. > :41:14.gap but when you're racing on the track and it is a split-second

:41:14. > :41:21.decision you realise if you make that it is all or nothing. It could

:41:21. > :41:28.have been a clash, she might have fallen off or been blocked. She did

:41:28. > :41:34.it and its debt. When you start a race, you have a plan beforehand

:41:34. > :41:39.but then you have to change it depending on what happens. Yes, you

:41:39. > :41:45.can the complicate the sprint. It is best to keep it simple. That is

:41:45. > :41:50.what the coach is said to me. Anything can happen, you can have a

:41:50. > :41:54.plan, you can draw the line, you can know roughly what to starts as

:41:54. > :42:01.but you have to be flexible to have a change of position in the heat of

:42:01. > :42:05.the moment. Often it is instinctive and Becky has the instincts.

:42:05. > :42:13.surprise was the fact it was Jess Varnish who got the gold medal

:42:13. > :42:18.right. Not a surprise because they are so evenly matched. But he does

:42:18. > :42:24.have a history of racing well at this level at Commonwealth Games

:42:24. > :42:30.and in previous events. Jess is so fast. She has the acceleration, the

:42:30. > :42:34.straight line speed. Jess is still a razor. She has the ability. It

:42:34. > :42:39.has all been about team sprint until the Olympic Games. It was

:42:39. > :42:46.hard to call. You would never have been able to pick one or the other.

:42:46. > :42:53.They were evenly matched. I know it is done and dusted but it seems a

:42:54. > :43:02.shame that the rules have changed. You felt foul of it, the individual.

:43:02. > :43:07.Might it be changed? You never know with the UCI, the governing body,

:43:07. > :43:11.it is not too controversial to say they do not represent the wishes

:43:11. > :43:15.and believes of many of the riders they are supposed to represent.

:43:15. > :43:20.They often make decisions out of the blue without any consultation

:43:20. > :43:25.with the riders. You look at an event but the sprint and it doesn't

:43:25. > :43:29.encourage young riders to come through. Most nations have one or

:43:29. > :43:34.rider who is favourite for the Games, me and Jason had a battle

:43:34. > :43:44.for the spot, Jason got it deservedly so. But what about the

:43:44. > :43:48.others? They have to wait until someone retires until they can step

:43:48. > :43:50.into the shoes. It is frustrating for younger athletes and does not

:43:50. > :43:54.help the sport developed by not giving the younger athletes a

:43:54. > :44:04.chance. Thankfully we do have younger riders coming through and

:44:04. > :44:08.

:44:08. > :44:18.you never know. Maybe you have a career with the use the I! A busy

:44:18. > :44:53.

:44:53. > :44:59.weekend for Jess and Becker. Now, one bronze in the keirin in her

:44:59. > :45:06.career. Jess Varnish of Great Britain will be in high spirits

:45:06. > :45:16.this morning. She secured a silver medal in the Sprint last night.

:45:16. > :45:26.

:45:26. > :45:36.They had some issues with the Tinne The maximum speed in the women's

:45:36. > :46:01.

:46:01. > :46:08.Keirin, just slightly lower than though it is just the heats,

:46:08. > :46:14.building for this afternoon's finals. The pace lifting all a time,

:46:14. > :46:22.the drone of the engine is getting slightly louder. The speed is

:46:22. > :46:32.getting quicker all the time. Three laps to go in heat of one of the

:46:32. > :46:37.women's Keirin. This is the first round. They have got just over one-

:46:37. > :46:47.and-a-half laps to sort it out for stops the first moves are starting

:46:47. > :46:48.

:46:48. > :46:55.to develop. The middle of the pack is the place to be right now.

:46:55. > :47:02.Jessica Varnish has some work to do, but a gap has opened up for her.

:47:02. > :47:12.First two go through by rights. Here is an early move by a leaf

:47:12. > :47:18.

:47:18. > :47:28.Hong Kong. Jessica Varnish finishing second. She moves into

:47:28. > :47:31.

:47:31. > :47:40.the next round by right. That was strong. Varnish almost got into a

:47:40. > :47:49.little bit of trouble but found her way back around the outside. A late

:47:49. > :47:55.challenge came, we can see that in the shot. Varnish made the right

:47:55. > :48:01.move, but the danger was coming on her own side. The judges are so

:48:01. > :48:09.strict now, constantly watching the lines. People moving off the line,

:48:09. > :48:19.cannot be construed as getting in the wake of the rider. There is the

:48:19. > :48:28.

:48:28. > :48:38.first two are going to the final by rights. Britain represented by

:48:38. > :49:02.

:49:02. > :49:07.that is Jessica Varnish. Can Becky James joined her? There is another

:49:07. > :49:13.factor in this racing. Most of these competitors have done a lot

:49:13. > :49:22.of racing already. It is about who recovers well over the course of

:49:22. > :49:29.the three days. There are tired legs in there. There certainly are.

:49:29. > :49:37.And Becky James won herself a bronze medal last night. She is

:49:37. > :49:42.happy to be an almost last position at the moment. Nothing really

:49:42. > :49:51.happens on until the daily swings out of the way. There is plenty of

:49:51. > :50:01.time yet. Becky has already got one gold medal in her pocket from the

:50:01. > :50:02.

:50:02. > :50:08.competition here, that came on day one in the Sprint. Can the two

:50:08. > :50:18.British competitors make it through to the next round of that Keirin?

:50:18. > :50:21.

:50:21. > :50:30.Four more laps to go. Starting to move up than in anticipation.

:50:30. > :50:35.laps to go in heat two, round one of the women's Keirin. Becky James

:50:35. > :50:39.moving up into second position. James looking as if she would like

:50:39. > :50:46.to get into the front position but the rider from Russia will not let

:50:46. > :50:54.her. She is in a difficult position. You have to make a choice, on the

:50:54. > :51:04.front or on the wheel. She is being held at the moment. The rider from

:51:04. > :51:13.

:51:13. > :51:21.position she will qualify. James takes it on the line. A great

:51:21. > :51:28.finish by her. The Russian will join her. She is clearly in great

:51:28. > :51:33.shape. She spent a lot of time on the outside riding in the wind. The

:51:33. > :51:39.confidence of was that there. The Spaniard coming over the top was

:51:39. > :51:44.perfect for her. She even had the legs to come around on the line.

:51:44. > :51:49.Looking good for this afternoon. Certainly. This is where Becky

:51:49. > :51:59.James profited from the fact the Spanish woman went early and she

:51:59. > :52:01.

:52:01. > :52:11.had a youth we look to a map. was almost scripted for her there.

:52:11. > :52:22.

:52:22. > :52:28.winning. This means that two British competitors are through to

:52:28. > :52:33.the next round. Three laps to go in the third and final heat of round

:52:33. > :52:43.one of the women's Keirin. It is the first two to qualify and the

:52:43. > :53:04.

:53:04. > :53:10.good news is, the two riders from fire, Kristina Vogel, who won the

:53:10. > :53:15.gold medal last night. She is dictating the terms here. The

:53:15. > :53:25.German is going to take it. She goes through to the next round

:53:25. > :53:32.

:53:32. > :53:42.cleanly. The other qualifier is The men sprint is underway. It was

:53:42. > :53:54.

:53:54. > :53:58.not straightforward for a Chris's It is a new track with dust on it

:53:58. > :54:07.and I believe some writers have been having problems with the

:54:07. > :54:17.sleepiness. This was the restart. A bit of a slip Mayor, but you can

:54:17. > :54:28.

:54:28. > :54:38.see his tyre has actually come off hanging off. There is no way you

:54:38. > :54:38.

:54:38. > :54:45.can hold that, I am impressed he lasts that long. Essentially, it is

:54:45. > :54:53.a tubes so none was in the tyre and stuck on by glue. Sometimes they

:54:53. > :55:00.pop off and that is what happened there. That is am not a nice fall,

:55:00. > :55:10.he landed on his head. He landed with full force. He will feel that

:55:10. > :55:12.

:55:12. > :55:17.in the morning. Two aborted attempts in that round of 16. We

:55:17. > :55:27.can now catch up with what happened when they tried it, third-time

:55:27. > :55:37.lucky hopefully for Phil Heinz. Heat seven of the men sprint. The

:55:37. > :56:01.

:56:01. > :56:08.bulls are quite simple here. It is these two riders trying to sort

:56:08. > :56:14.this out. They have both had a crash. I have noticed Philip Hindes

:56:14. > :56:23.has the same clothing on, they are full of holes. He has chosen to

:56:23. > :56:32.keep the same clothing on. There is a lot of dust as well. I wonder if

:56:32. > :56:40.that is responsible for a very slippery track. Philip Hindes on

:56:40. > :56:46.the front, wary of his opponent. Probably the more experienced of

:56:46. > :56:55.the two when it comes to the sprint. They have both been in the war

:56:55. > :57:00.years. At least that part of it is even. The prize at stake is a place

:57:00. > :57:10.in the quarter-finals. Philip Hindes looking to gather himself to

:57:10. > :57:25.

:57:25. > :57:33.That was eight mistake by Philip Hindes. He did everything right, he

:57:33. > :57:37.kept moving, he just carried on a quarter of a lap too far. His

:57:37. > :57:43.opponent it took the initiative. said earlier that we felt the rider

:57:43. > :57:53.from the Czech Republic was the most experienced. Philip Hindes is

:57:53. > :57:58.certainly quite. He was drafted in last minute for the Olympic Games.

:57:58. > :58:08.He does have a lack of experience in the sprint event, but that is

:58:08. > :58:09.

:58:09. > :58:19.why he is here. A man that can write 17.24 the sprint event has

:58:19. > :58:21.

:58:21. > :58:27.the potential to develop. He did Disappointment for Philip Hindes

:58:28. > :58:32.there. The guys in commentary talking about his inexperience.

:58:32. > :58:37.spoke to one of the coaches earlier on it who said that if he learns

:58:37. > :58:44.from all the mistakes he has made this weekend, he will be an expert.

:58:44. > :58:49.To be fair to him, it has been a massive build up to become Olympic

:58:49. > :58:54.champion aged 19 and then have this short period to get back into

:58:54. > :59:01.training and be thrown into the deep end. It is all new experience

:59:01. > :59:06.for him, he has made a couple of mistakes and he has fallen off. But

:59:06. > :59:12.he has this four year period to hopefully branch out a little bit.

:59:12. > :59:20.Two potentially become a sprint or a Keirin rider. It has changed his

:59:20. > :59:26.life. He was born and raised in Germany, his dad is English. He has

:59:26. > :59:32.now come back to the UK, three years ago, and he has been an

:59:32. > :59:39.integral part and one of the reasons we won the gold medal in

:59:39. > :59:43.the team sprint. He came in and improved so quickly. To do 17.2

:59:43. > :59:48.seconds at that age, usually you have to do years of strength

:59:48. > :59:54.training and development to produce that. It is hard to predict how far

:59:54. > :59:59.he could go. His talent seems unending if he can just keep his

:00:00. > :00:09.head on and focused. Talk about that rivalry between Jessica at and

:00:10. > :00:10.

:00:10. > :00:14.Becky, potentially with Jason and Philip Hindes? Absolutely. There

:00:14. > :00:21.are numerous guys in the system up coming through the who we could be

:00:21. > :00:25.talking about in a very short space of time. Jason needs that upward

:00:25. > :00:35.pressure from the younger guys, like I had when I was trying to

:00:35. > :00:37.

:00:37. > :00:42.keep myself going. It is important, In terms of your mentoring role, do

:00:42. > :00:48.you take that very seriously, or you focusing on Chris Hoy, rider in

:00:48. > :00:53.your own right? A little bit of both. I always tried to do what

:00:53. > :00:57.Dames McLean did for me. It wasn't really the coaching infrastructure,

:00:57. > :01:01.that there is now. I was very lucky to have Jason and Craig, they were

:01:01. > :01:06.faster, more able and more experienced, and I could learn from

:01:06. > :01:11.them. I tried to do the same. It's tough, these guys are fighting for

:01:11. > :01:16.your spot. You do all you can to help them, but you make sure that

:01:16. > :01:26.you are sorted first. Let's go to our first allied action, the men's

:01:26. > :01:31.

:01:31. > :01:35.sprint semi-finals. The man next to Good afternoon to Hugh Porter. You

:01:35. > :01:40.are looking fine, gentleman. Looking forward to the action?

:01:40. > :01:47.certainly am, a fantastic mix of disciplines, Laura Trott is flying

:01:47. > :01:52.around here. We had a duty semis final situation. -- we have a duty

:01:52. > :01:57.semi-final situation. We have the Keirin to look forward to, we have

:01:57. > :02:00.Jess Varnish, all in all I think it will be a good afternoon. These two

:02:00. > :02:05.Germans are very strong in the sprint? We could be looking at the

:02:05. > :02:15.final. Unfortunately, because all the way they qualified, they are up

:02:15. > :02:18.

:02:18. > :02:25.against each other now. It will be for the first semi-final. It could

:02:25. > :02:35.be a good tussle. Robert Forster man has muscles on his muscles. He

:02:35. > :02:44.

:02:44. > :02:54.Dimitriev, the Russian. He was 5th in the Sprint in London. He's been

:02:54. > :02:56.

:02:56. > :03:02.around a bit. I think you have to favour the masterly German, here.

:03:02. > :03:06.He looks like he's wearing a muzzle suit, like you get for a fancy-

:03:06. > :03:13.dress party. Chris Hoy will probably make a

:03:13. > :03:16.comment about him. If my memory serves me correctly, I think it was

:03:16. > :03:25.him that jumped away from him when they met in Manchester, he got the

:03:25. > :03:35.better of the great Kris Boyd. Denis Dimitriev is leading at the

:03:35. > :03:51.

:03:51. > :04:01.moment. About 26 years of age, Forstemann, the masterly German

:04:01. > :04:08.

:04:08. > :04:15.glides away from the opposition and that leads the team sprint one

:04:15. > :04:20.available. Very, very strong. A very different line of development.

:04:20. > :04:26.If you watch the British sprinters, they are much finer. Still very

:04:26. > :04:31.powerful builds, but the Germans have a real power development

:04:31. > :04:41.approach to these games. It seems to be working well. They certainly

:04:41. > :04:50.do their work in the gym. Some heavy squatting. Forstemann first

:04:50. > :04:55.wins round one. Race two, they are going to bring out Stefan

:04:55. > :05:05.Boetticher of Germany. Chris Hoy gave me the heads upon this fellow,

:05:05. > :05:05.

:05:05. > :05:09.about 12 months ago. He said, watch this guy, he has a big future. He

:05:09. > :05:17.beat Forstemann on the way. He is starting to reflect class and speed.

:05:17. > :05:22.He has opposition from Spain, the third quickest in the time trial.

:05:22. > :05:27.Of course, Stefan Boetticher of Germany has won gold medal, having

:05:27. > :05:37.won the Keirin yesterday. Germans, I can't see how anybody is

:05:37. > :05:44.

:05:44. > :05:48.German. They have real strength in depth, the sprinting squad. In the

:05:48. > :05:54.run-up to the Olympic Games, they really stepped up their game. They

:07:11. > :07:18.100 shy of going inside the ten- second mark. He's in good form, in

:07:18. > :07:21.curious form, the young German. Some fast sprinting, for this point

:07:21. > :07:26.in the calendar. I mentioned it several times, after the Olympic

:07:26. > :07:30.Games, there can be a lull while people reorganise themselves. They

:07:30. > :07:40.are getting themselves back into this new track season. Some of the

:07:40. > :07:50.

:07:50. > :07:53.against it, here. What we have seen in the preliminary rounds, we

:07:53. > :07:57.forecast after the time trial round but we thought it would be an all-

:07:57. > :08:03.German final. I'd be very surprised if it isn't. The pace is just

:08:03. > :08:13.beginning to lift. Still looking for the surprise attack. Just

:08:13. > :08:17.

:08:17. > :08:23.wondering if the German is going to I think that will play into the

:08:23. > :08:33.hands of the German. On to the shoulder. Stefan Boetticher of

:08:33. > :08:37.

:08:37. > :08:47.Germany, at a canter. It's hard to know what he could do. He wanted to

:08:47. > :08:55.

:08:55. > :09:05.be in second position, he was happy Germany. He gets the bit between

:09:05. > :09:21.

:09:21. > :09:28.his teeth and there is no stopping a big thighs. Forstemann?

:09:29. > :09:32.They are, they are like nothing anybody had ever seen before. I

:09:32. > :09:37.think it is exaggerated because of his height, his legs are quite

:09:37. > :09:41.short and it emphasises the cartoon nature of his thighs. He tried a

:09:41. > :09:47.bit of a march at the World Championships, right from the gun

:09:47. > :09:53.he just went, rather than this cat- and-mouse? Yes, nice of you to

:09:53. > :09:57.mention that(!) Thanks for bringing that up. He beat you? The first

:09:57. > :10:03.round of the world championships, 2010. Normally it is nice and

:10:03. > :10:07.steady, there is some cat and mouse. He literally just went on the gun

:10:07. > :10:14.for three laps. He had a big gap of about 40 metres on me. I slowly got

:10:14. > :10:18.it back but I didn't catch him. I had to go back, and it messed up my

:10:18. > :10:22.world championships. You make that mistake once, you're always aware

:10:23. > :10:28.of it from then on. Jason Kenny did the same in the world championships

:10:28. > :10:32.in Melbourne. He did beat him, but he was relegated for flicking out.

:10:32. > :10:37.We are going to turn our thoughts to the omnium, which means the

:10:37. > :10:43.appearance of Victoria -- Laura Trott. Although Victoria Pendleton

:10:43. > :10:48.might be in Strictly Come Dancing, Laura Trott has The X Factor.

:10:48. > :10:54.knows what is at stake. A gold medal is going to be for Laura

:10:54. > :10:58.Trott! It went down to the wire! seems no time at all since we were

:10:58. > :11:01.in the Olympic Velodrome. What is the focus now? Has it been

:11:01. > :11:05.difficult to motivate yourself? feel like motivation was not a

:11:05. > :11:10.problem for me. I wanted to get back on the bike. I was missing his

:11:10. > :11:14.after the Games. You almost crave it, it is an everyday thing for me.

:11:14. > :11:21.Now, this isn't a target, this is just going to enjoy the home crowd,

:11:21. > :11:27.new track. With the new team, as well, which we have not put on the

:11:27. > :11:31.track before. That will be good. The main target, I want to win

:11:31. > :11:34.worlds again. I want to get the titles that I'm going for. Then we

:11:34. > :11:38.are looking forward to the Commonwealth Games, that is the

:11:38. > :11:42.first stepping stone, and then onto Rio. And your first visit to

:11:42. > :11:46.Scotland, shame on you, not coming here before! Looking at your

:11:46. > :11:50.schedule, you are going to be busy. You are writing the omnium and it

:11:50. > :11:54.is the kind of event that you add on as a result of your training for

:11:54. > :11:59.the team pursued. Where do you think you are as far as the omnium

:11:59. > :12:03.is concerned? -- team pursuits. Form comes with team pursuit. I

:12:04. > :12:09.normally judge how well I'm going to do on how that goes. We are not

:12:09. > :12:14.in world record shape, far from it. It's just about getting the best

:12:14. > :12:17.ride there. The omnium, for me, it is about having fun. Just going out,

:12:17. > :12:21.enjoying my bike racing and learning from what I didn't do at

:12:21. > :12:31.the Games. Although I won, it wasn't a perfect scenario. I went

:12:31. > :12:32.

:12:32. > :12:37.into the last rites, -- race, well behind where I should have been. So

:12:37. > :12:42.I just want to do new things, try things and see what happens. This

:12:42. > :12:47.isn't the target, the worlds is. To do new things here is only going to

:12:47. > :12:52.help me. She really is a superstar. So much so that her boyfriend,

:12:52. > :12:57.Jason Kenny, has one more gold medal and he says he is referred to

:12:57. > :13:01.as Laura Trott's boyfriend! have to feel sorry for him, he is

:13:01. > :13:05.the plus one everywhere he goes. But she is a superstar already. The

:13:05. > :13:11.crowd love her. They see their way that she responds, the way that she

:13:11. > :13:16.races, 1920 years of age, she has the world at her feet.

:13:16. > :13:19.certainly has. We are talking about her taking over from Victoria

:13:20. > :13:24.Pendleton as the Queen of the track, she is that already. Yes, she has

:13:24. > :13:28.the same number of medals as Victoria Pendleton, so she is one

:13:28. > :13:34.of the big names on the world track cycling stage. In case you have

:13:35. > :13:38.forgotten, the omnium is multi events on a bike. We are going to

:13:38. > :13:48.see the scratch race and time trial later. Let's catch up with the

:13:48. > :13:49.

:13:49. > :13:56.rolling with the 250 metres flying lap. The time was enough to give

:13:56. > :14:01.her 4th place after this first event. The fastest time was Ashlee

:14:01. > :14:06.Ankudinoff of Australia. Next, the points race. Britain's Olympic

:14:06. > :14:11.champion won one of the Olympic sprints and she was in close

:14:12. > :14:15.attendance for a couple more. The final sprint was won by Ankudinoff.

:14:15. > :14:21.The Australian is bringing some good form in today's Glasgow World

:14:21. > :14:31.Cup. She narrowly leads the field after those first two disciplines.

:14:31. > :14:36.

:14:36. > :14:40.for the British Colors, she is wearing the world championship

:14:40. > :14:45.jersey which is the world omnium champion. That is the ultimate

:14:45. > :14:55.tizzy to wear. It's the white jersey with rainbow stripes. --

:14:55. > :14:57.

:14:57. > :15:02.the rider from Finland is the first to be eliminated. Well, that was

:15:02. > :15:08.easy. That is the 29-year-old from Finland. That was easy to spot.

:15:08. > :15:13.don't think it will stay like that for the entire race at all. She is

:15:13. > :15:17.out. At the moment, she is last in the omnium. She had an 18th place

:15:17. > :15:27.and she is way out of the standings. Now it's the rider from Spain in

:15:27. > :15:28.

:15:28. > :15:38.trouble. I'm quite surprised, because she is a very good rider.

:15:38. > :15:42.

:15:42. > :15:52.It is actually the rider from Hong there. Two riders are eliminated

:15:52. > :15:53.

:15:53. > :16:02.already. It is almost to a gentle start, they haven't really got

:16:02. > :16:12.fired up yet. Ashlee Ankudinoff will have to work. She is moving,

:16:12. > :16:16.

:16:16. > :16:26.she saw the danger. Is she going to get through? We have got a crash!

:16:26. > :16:32.

:16:32. > :16:39.Now umber eight team, the German is out. -- number 18. The riders will

:16:39. > :16:49.be asked to ride above the blue. That is a heavy fall. You can just

:16:49. > :17:05.

:17:05. > :17:11.Manning the coach holding up Laura Trott. He was the leader of man for

:17:11. > :17:17.the team pursued for many years. Olympic Commonwealth and world

:17:17. > :17:25.champion. And he is proving to be a very good coach. I think he is the

:17:26. > :17:32.most successful coach for a Team GB of all times. I bet he never

:17:32. > :17:39.thought he would end as the coach. He got a degree in geology, but he

:17:39. > :17:49.is now all a brilliant coach. a non- neutralised Lapper again as

:17:49. > :17:50.

:17:50. > :17:56.everybody battles to get themselves at the front. -- lap. Once again,

:17:56. > :18:03.it is the fastest lap we have seen. It is the Italian at the back who

:18:03. > :18:13.finds her weight on the outside. It is Ryan of either -- Island, she

:18:13. > :18:13.

:18:13. > :18:19.may get through here. Ryan is boxed in at the bottom. It will be

:18:19. > :18:27.difficult to get out of that. People want to hold to their so

:18:27. > :18:36.they can control the pace and use you as cannon fodder. Ryan of

:18:36. > :18:41.Ireland is the first eliminations. Number 22. In case you did not

:18:41. > :18:47.catch the men event at last night, the light on the handlebars flash

:18:47. > :18:52.when they are out to make sure they know when to leave the race. Who is

:18:52. > :19:00.it going to be this time? The pressure at the back of the field

:19:00. > :19:10.is almost intolerable. It looks like the rider from Belarus,

:19:10. > :19:11.

:19:11. > :19:20.Tatsiana Sharakova. No, I think it is the 34. Was it? I think it was.

:19:20. > :19:28.Yes. But it is the rider from Thailand. She knows. Now the

:19:28. > :19:35.American is in a little bit of trouble here. I am quite surprised

:19:35. > :19:44.the way it Ashlee Ankudinoff is riding. She must be brimming over

:19:44. > :19:52.with confidence. Laura Trott is at the front. Mexican out this time, I

:19:52. > :20:00.think. Yes. Laura Trott in a perfect position, second position,

:20:00. > :20:08.she has got some shelter and plenty of room to manoeuvre. Ashlee

:20:08. > :20:18.Ankudinoff riding at the back, very strange. The American Higgins in

:20:18. > :20:22.

:20:22. > :20:32.the hot seat. There is nowhere to go. That looked like number elevens.

:20:32. > :20:34.

:20:34. > :20:41.The Spanish rider. Yes. The field thinning out. Still, the 21-year-

:20:41. > :20:48.old Australian riding this from the back. An amazing tactic. Just

:20:48. > :20:56.moving up on cue. Tatsiana Sharakova is doing a fantastic job

:20:56. > :21:06.for Laura Trott. Raising the pace. Higgins could be in trouble this

:21:06. > :21:08.

:21:08. > :21:12.time. I think it is that the French woman. The same thing again, in the

:21:12. > :21:22.middle of the pack, it tries to squeeze forward and finds there is

:21:22. > :21:22.

:21:22. > :21:28.no room. And now it is the rider from Poland in a perfect position.

:21:28. > :21:33.The American again, she is making hard work of this. We have seen

:21:33. > :21:41.Laura Trott read like this remember. We thought she was in trouble when

:21:41. > :21:48.in actual fact she had it completely under control. It is the

:21:48. > :21:52.rider from the Czech Republic. And we are thinning down the field.

:21:52. > :22:00.Ashlee Ankudinoff moves up and the American is still sitting at the

:22:00. > :22:06.back. Maybe they had been studying the Laura Trott Guide! Higgins at

:22:06. > :22:13.the back, on the inside of her his Tatsiana Sharakova of. These two

:22:13. > :22:19.are duelling for the back positions. Tatsiana Sharakova looks to be the

:22:19. > :22:27.victim this time, but can she move up the outside? Yes, and it is

:22:27. > :22:37.Higgins. Finally, the American it is eliminated. It is a game you can

:22:37. > :22:39.

:22:39. > :22:47.only play for so long. Laura Trott has taken it on it now. What

:22:47. > :22:57.strange how she got in her legs? Pretty good, this is the time to

:22:57. > :22:58.

:22:58. > :23:06.make a move its. Not much more than ten laps to go now. Trott is riding

:23:06. > :23:13.well. The Venezuelan is out. think she might have been

:23:13. > :23:18.disqualified for being off the track. Seven left. Laura Trott

:23:18. > :23:26.dictating this, keeping them on her shoulder. The Queen of the

:23:26. > :23:36.Elimination contest. On the inside, the Australian, Chris, that is not

:23:36. > :23:46.good. She is in a box and will have to come round the long way. It was

:23:46. > :23:48.

:23:48. > :23:58.tight, she did. Laura Trott has ridden this in a different way than

:23:58. > :24:01.

:24:01. > :24:11.usual. She has barely been out of the top two. Again, Ashlee

:24:11. > :24:17.Ankudinoff is at the back. She must be very confident. Laura Trott is a

:24:17. > :24:27.little bit swamped there. She is checking over her shoulder. Again,

:24:27. > :24:45.

:24:45. > :24:55.nemesis go out. Laura Trott is under pressure. But with a little

:24:55. > :24:57.

:24:57. > :25:07.bit of acceleration she just moves up the side and the crowd love it.

:25:07. > :25:10.

:25:10. > :25:15.Was that the Australian? It was Alex macro --! This could turn the

:25:15. > :25:22.overall positions upside down. Tatsiana Sharakova is still in

:25:22. > :25:32.there. She could become the new leader if she can remain in the

:25:32. > :25:32.

:25:32. > :25:39.race. This is an important sprint. Tatsiana Sharakova does not have

:25:39. > :25:49.the legs! We are down to three. did a lot of work earlier on in the

:25:49. > :25:56.

:25:56. > :26:06.race, perhaps she is paying the And this is the one she would love

:26:06. > :26:16.to get. It is her favourite event. Here she comes! She has got the

:26:16. > :26:17.

:26:17. > :26:27.measure of the other athletes. It is going down to two. The Russian

:26:27. > :26:28.

:26:28. > :26:35.has conceded. And that is the final sprint. It is our Laura Trott

:26:35. > :26:45.verses the world scratched champion of from Poland. -- world scratched

:26:45. > :26:59.

:26:59. > :27:09.Laura Trott wins and gets a standing ovation. Laura Trott, the

:27:09. > :27:15.

:27:15. > :27:25.world champion. A lovely piece of riding. That one she wrote first

:27:25. > :27:31.

:27:31. > :27:39.and second position all the way through. -- rode. We have now got a

:27:39. > :27:45.tyre for the first position thanks to that. -- a tie. And she has her

:27:45. > :27:51.key event to come at the end. used to say it was Queen Victoria.

:27:51. > :28:01.And when she retired I said, Stepaside, here comes the Lady in

:28:01. > :28:12.

:28:12. > :28:22.Waiting. Look at that smile, one day to go. Laura Trott has

:28:22. > :28:24.

:28:24. > :28:34.elevated herself up to fourth, one. Shy of the medal positions. Here

:28:34. > :28:34.

:28:34. > :28:44.the first event of the third day. She loves the time trial here. The

:28:44. > :28:48.Flying Lap and the pursuit, this is her at her strongest. A indeed.

:28:48. > :28:57.This actually was the fastest time of the day so that was great from

:28:57. > :29:05.Laura Trott. It is the athlete with the least. That wins. And there we

:29:05. > :29:15.go. The standings after four events. Laura Trott equal to Ashlee

:29:15. > :29:20.

:29:20. > :29:25.So, women doing particularly well here. There is a new development.

:29:25. > :29:33.We have these men teams in the Tour de France. Bradley Wiggins and his

:29:33. > :29:39.foundation have got involved. We have Laura up Trott as part of that.

:29:39. > :29:45.Do you know much about what is happening with that? Not too much.

:29:45. > :29:53.Probably as much as you. It is about time we got a professional

:29:53. > :29:57.women's team which can focus on the track and the road. It is fantastic

:29:57. > :30:06.to have this team, and to give them the right support and the chance to

:30:06. > :30:13.shine. Something you have been involved in was the legacy of this

:30:13. > :30:17.track. Getting young kids involved in cycling. On Friday we had 1000

:30:17. > :30:22.local schoolkids here. They live near the Velodrome and have seen it

:30:22. > :30:27.being built, this was a chance for them to experience track cycling

:30:27. > :30:32.and hopefully it has inspired them. Schools are getting a chance to

:30:32. > :30:37.come and have a go on the track. If anyone has an aptitude for it, they

:30:37. > :30:42.can keep going and there will be a competitions for them. Hopefully it

:30:42. > :30:52.will inspire people to get involved. It is about giving people the

:30:52. > :30:54.

:30:54. > :31:04.chance to try the sport and reap finals. You can see both of the

:31:04. > :31:10.

:31:10. > :31:17.can possibly not both go through to the final, Forstemann and Stefan

:31:17. > :31:24.Boetticher. What can Denis Dimitriev do? Well, he is sprinting

:31:24. > :31:34.well. But Forstemann is clearly better. I can't see anything he can

:31:34. > :31:45.

:31:45. > :31:51.do, really. A very capable sprinter huge problem. He has to work out

:31:51. > :31:55.how he can beat this muscly German. It will be interesting if he can

:31:55. > :32:00.try and do belong one, nobody has gone for that yet in this

:32:00. > :32:08.competition, just go full-on from the start. He's got nothing to lose.

:32:08. > :32:10.If he can get this one, it could be quite telling. It's a tactic that

:32:10. > :32:16.Jason Kenny used in the world championships in Melbourne and it

:32:16. > :32:22.nearly paid off. Well, it's not been used for several years, it is

:32:22. > :32:26.all or nothing. If it doesn't come off, your opponent, who has been

:32:26. > :32:32.sitting out of the wind behind you, is going to walk all over you. It

:32:32. > :32:38.really is do-or-die. But a couple of people had employed it, because

:32:38. > :32:43.it has been used for ages, and that gives it an element of surprise.

:32:43. > :32:46.I'll tell you what, the noise in this arena, it would resonate all

:32:46. > :32:51.the way around the Velodrome. It's the kind of thing we like to see.

:32:51. > :32:55.It is possibly his only chance, to try to jump away. But he's just too

:32:55. > :32:58.strong and powerful. It has to be tactical, it's not going to be

:32:58. > :33:08.physical. Forstemann is not going to give him the opportunity. He

:33:08. > :33:19.

:33:19. > :33:29.German and now he will just forced it to the line. 2-02 Robert

:33:29. > :33:37.

:33:38. > :33:41.under a lap to go and he was on the shoulder. Forstemann spotted the

:33:41. > :33:46.danger and he drove hard to stop him getting that advantage. That is

:33:46. > :33:50.where the race was won and lost. But once he had gone into the front,

:33:50. > :33:59.there was no way, really, that the Russian was going to get back over

:33:59. > :34:09.the top. Just outgunned. The wind, blowing backwards almost, at that

:34:09. > :34:14.

:34:14. > :34:24.kind of speed. So, Forstemann, 2-0, next one. This young German, Stefan

:34:24. > :34:25.

:34:25. > :34:33.Boetticher, against Peralta Gascon special. They will be watching that

:34:33. > :34:40.now, because he is the only man may have got. The man with dynamite in

:34:40. > :34:50.his thighs. Look at those shoulders. He is such a different build to any

:34:50. > :35:00.

:35:00. > :35:07.on your side. He would be great if very impressed with, Stefan

:35:07. > :35:17.Boetticher. A very young face. I tell you what, he rides with an

:35:17. > :35:54.

:35:54. > :36:04.Spaniard is to lead off. He's not going to be able to jump away, from

:36:04. > :36:14.

:36:14. > :36:24.talking about. On his way up to the senior rank, he got himself a

:36:24. > :36:28.

:36:28. > :36:38.silver medal in the World Junior one of those green markers against

:36:38. > :36:46.

:36:46. > :36:56.sprinter. That is, of course, relative to the rest of the

:36:56. > :37:07.

:38:53. > :38:57.That's going to be a good final? is. I think most people are

:38:57. > :39:00.expecting Forstemann to win. But I reckon that Stefan Boetticher could

:39:00. > :39:05.pull off a surprise. I think he's got a bit more adaptability than

:39:05. > :39:10.Forstemann. He's very good at the late, Short, acceleration based

:39:10. > :39:16.sprints, but Stefan Boetticher can go wrong, he can go from two lapse

:39:16. > :39:19.out. If he could force him to get onto pace early on, he can have a

:39:19. > :39:23.chance of competing from the back. If he can prevent him from getting

:39:23. > :39:28.to the front, I think he could beat him. How much analysis goes into

:39:28. > :39:31.looking at your opponents? In cricket, you analyse batsmen and

:39:31. > :39:35.see where their weaknesses are. You sit down with the coaches,

:39:35. > :39:39.Forstemann, this is his weakness and this is his strength, and sort

:39:39. > :39:44.out a plan? It's funny, in most other events you focus on yourself,

:39:44. > :39:48.you focus on your performance. You don't worry about your rivals, what

:39:48. > :39:52.they are doing. In the sprint, you analyse their strengths and

:39:52. > :39:56.weaknesses. We have an iPad and you will send information straight

:39:56. > :40:00.there, it will analyse the race immediately and you can look at the

:40:00. > :40:03.different strengths and weaknesses of your opponents. The guys will be

:40:03. > :40:07.spending a lot of time right now. It's difficult when it's your team-

:40:07. > :40:11.mate, they train together and know each other very well. They will

:40:11. > :40:17.know, first hand, the experience of what it is like to race with each

:40:17. > :40:27.other and trained with each other. Let's swap to Keirin. In Heaton, we

:40:27. > :40:36.

:40:37. > :40:39.have Jess Varnish. You can see the riots that she has had in the last

:40:39. > :40:45.few days. But they are both incredible athletes and will be

:40:45. > :40:48.able to deal with that workload. Presumably it will be sandy Clare

:40:48. > :40:58.or the Hong Kong rider, she will try to use them, get a bit of a

:40:58. > :41:00.

:41:00. > :41:10.draft. Conserve energy? Conserve your energy, savoured for the final.

:41:11. > :41:15.Make sure you are in the final. -- heat in the second round of the

:41:15. > :41:19.women's Keirin. Nobody knows more about riding three events and

:41:19. > :41:25.winning three gold medals than Kris Boyd. He will know just what it is

:41:25. > :41:35.like. He will now how much fatigue the British competitors are

:41:35. > :42:00.

:42:00. > :42:10.carrying. Varnish was second in the after the silver medal in the

:42:10. > :42:32.

:42:32. > :42:38.sprint last night. Just pipped to before it swings off. In the

:42:38. > :42:43.women's Keirin, it is 45 mph. That is just slightly slower than the

:42:43. > :42:53.men's. The sound is getting louder, indicating that the speed is

:42:53. > :43:15.

:43:15. > :43:18.lifting. You expect fireworks in Then the riders will launch

:43:18. > :43:28.themselves into a flat-out sprint. It is the first three over the line.

:43:28. > :43:39.

:43:39. > :43:45.It's about getting yourself going to get themselves into

:43:45. > :43:55.position. Already, we can see some movement. Some gaps starting to

:43:55. > :44:13.

:44:13. > :44:20.fall. The Day and Co is still third spot. That is Clare. And

:44:20. > :44:24.Varnish, they are going to hit the line with 250 to go. Jess Varnish

:44:24. > :44:29.has tried to come through on the wheel of Wai Sze Lee of Hong Kong.

:44:29. > :44:39.Jess Varnish looks like she is struggling. A lot of action over

:44:39. > :44:43.

:44:43. > :44:48.the last two days, it is Clare that was on Lee's wheel. I think Varnish

:44:48. > :44:51.are thought, you know what, she's not going to do it. Lee held her on

:44:51. > :45:01.the shoulder round that was the problem. She was out in the wind

:45:01. > :45:06.

:45:06. > :45:16.The Varnish obviously carrying the fatigue. She will now be in the

:45:16. > :45:21.

:45:21. > :45:31.whole thing was set up a much further back. These two clearly

:45:31. > :45:44.

:45:44. > :45:53.ahead of the rest. Jessica Varnish the final. She wins he'd won.

:45:53. > :45:58.Second-placed Lee from Hong Kong. Jessica Varnish will line up in the

:45:58. > :46:06.minor final. Great Britain still has another chance with Becky James

:46:06. > :46:16.going in the second heat. Becky James, a former junior world

:46:16. > :46:18.

:46:18. > :46:28.champion. 20 years of age. Just having the look, it is quite a

:46:28. > :46:37.

:46:37. > :46:45.tough line up in her look -- in her heat. It will be hotly contested.

:46:45. > :46:53.You know Keirins, everything can change so quickly. There is

:46:53. > :47:01.Kristina Vogel. On very good form, having won the sprint already. She

:47:01. > :47:04.has so many gold medals. Gold medal in London and Melbourne. Always a

:47:05. > :47:10.danger in these rounds when there's three to qualify it that you start

:47:10. > :47:14.to think, it is just about qualifying. If you go for the win

:47:14. > :47:19.and it does not work out but you finish second or third. If you

:47:19. > :47:29.think about just getting into the top three, that is a dangerous mine

:47:29. > :47:30.

:47:30. > :47:40.said. Someone to take the pace from would-be Kristina Vogel, for Becky

:47:40. > :47:42.

:47:42. > :47:52.James. James is on the outside. James's right there on the outside.

:47:52. > :48:06.

:48:06. > :48:16.And on the inside his Kristina Becky James. There is the woman in

:48:16. > :48:26.

:48:26. > :48:30.superb form at the moment, and that being given to Becky James by Jan

:48:30. > :48:35.Van Eijden, the former world champion. The German coach who

:48:36. > :48:40.works brilliantly with the British set up. He instigated a massive

:48:40. > :48:45.change in the British set-up. The British were known as the fastest

:48:45. > :48:51.qualifiers for some years. He brought in a wealth of tactical

:48:52. > :48:56.knowledge. It was a real impetus for the change. Because he is so

:48:56. > :49:06.fit, he still rides, he gets on the track and trains with these riders.

:49:06. > :49:14.

:49:15. > :49:24.It has made a huge difference. Kristina Vogel, second wheel.

:49:25. > :49:25.

:49:25. > :49:31.Varnish is in a great position. -- Becky James is in a great position.

:49:31. > :49:41.You have got to favour Kristina Vogel, but it Becky can profit from

:49:41. > :49:56.

:49:56. > :50:01.her moves. She just needs to be Stretching on to a maximum of 45

:50:01. > :50:08.for that bike. A bit of daylight appearing. There is a ten-metre

:50:08. > :50:18.rule that has been brought into play. It is still quite a lot of

:50:18. > :50:34.

:50:34. > :50:38.leeway to be honest. That is to shoulders. They know we are getting

:50:38. > :50:43.to the business end of the contest. We're starting to get moves

:50:43. > :50:50.developing from behind and Becky James has noticed she needs to stay

:50:50. > :50:56.in touch. Coming down the finishing straight, it will be two laps to go.

:50:56. > :51:01.They move us from the French competitor. It looks like she has

:51:01. > :51:07.found herself a spot, she is still in with a good shout. She has found

:51:07. > :51:17.herself a way through on the inside. Becky James going well. She is

:51:17. > :51:19.

:51:19. > :51:23.trying to get onto the side of Kristina Vogel. A terrific effort

:51:23. > :51:29.on the line! Third place was James and she will get through to the

:51:29. > :51:36.final. Good riding by Becky James and that sees her through to the

:51:36. > :51:43.final. It was a very committed ride. She did not take any chances.

:51:43. > :51:53.Looked a little bit sketchy, but she found her way through and kept

:51:53. > :51:54.

:51:54. > :52:04.driving on the shoulder of Kristina Vogel. Have a look at this

:52:04. > :52:14.acceleration. A a very impressive finish. She used the height on the

:52:14. > :52:14.

:52:15. > :52:20.track. Very strong. She almost the snatched it from Kristina Vogel in

:52:20. > :52:27.the end. There was a little coming together, but I don't think we will

:52:27. > :52:34.hear any more about that. Good news, we have got British representation

:52:34. > :52:44.in the final. Becky James was third in that heat and gets into the

:52:44. > :52:47.

:52:47. > :52:55.Chris, you call that right for Jessica Varnish. It was a race too

:52:55. > :53:02.many. It has been a great weekend for her, but you could see it in

:53:02. > :53:07.her legs that she did not have the gas to keep up. Although she is

:53:07. > :53:11.extremely motivated to have a great track programme, she has got all

:53:11. > :53:17.that emotional stuff from what she went through at the Games. She is

:53:17. > :53:24.perhaps more tired than she thinks. She was determined to get straight

:53:24. > :53:28.back on the track and into the gym after the Olympics. Time will tell.

:53:28. > :53:33.I think she will keep going until the world champions, and I think

:53:33. > :53:40.she should have a break after that. She has not really come to terms

:53:40. > :53:46.with the fact that she missed out on getting a medal at the Olympics.

:53:46. > :53:52.The time will come for her. She has such ability and commitment. But

:53:52. > :53:59.she has to be patient. Having said that, a great weekend. She has

:53:59. > :54:09.ridden well all weekend. Becky James will be in the final. Talk us

:54:09. > :54:14.

:54:14. > :54:18.through how she did. She was a shoulder of Kristina Vogel. That

:54:18. > :54:28.acceleration and forced Kristina Vogel to make a move. She is

:54:28. > :54:33.

:54:33. > :54:38.pushing a lot of her own error there. -- her own air there.

:54:38. > :54:43.talked about pushing your own air. What sort of difference does that

:54:43. > :54:50.make in terms of power output? faster you go, the more important

:54:50. > :54:56.their dynamic efficiency is. The power has to increase by the square

:54:57. > :55:06.of the speed. The faster you go, the harder it is with air

:55:07. > :55:07.

:55:07. > :55:17.resistance. It is all about air If you are at the front for 2.5

:55:17. > :55:20.laps, it would be very difficult, pushing your own air. Kristina

:55:20. > :55:25.Vogel is looking very strong. The Germans have brought some great

:55:25. > :55:35.form. They have. Have I am surprised they have such a strong

:55:35. > :55:46.

:55:46. > :55:55.team in the four year cycle. But it is great that the top guys are here.

:55:55. > :56:02.Max is going very well at the moment. British cycling knows all

:56:02. > :56:06.about getting it right. That is the magic things. It is about one day,

:56:06. > :56:11.up for a two or three days every four years. You have to get it

:56:11. > :56:16.right. It almost does not matter what you have been doing in those

:56:16. > :56:23.four years, it is those days which count. World Championships, World

:56:23. > :56:28.Cups, they are all important that the Olympics is the big one. From

:56:29. > :56:34.springs to endurance now. We will catch up from yesterday. Martin

:56:34. > :56:44.Irvin was very good in the Scratch Race. He has his hands full up

:56:44. > :56:49.

:56:49. > :56:58.representing Denmark is Lasse Hansen, the Olympic Omnium champion.

:56:58. > :57:03.He is riding against Martyn Irvine of Ireland. Martyn Irvine it posted

:57:03. > :57:09.a personal best this morning, but he is 1.8 slower than the Danish

:57:09. > :57:15.competitor. It is visibly quicker than the bronze medal ride off, we

:57:15. > :57:22.can see that already. He finished second in the Scratch Race, but for

:57:22. > :57:27.me he got man of the Match award. He Lasse Hansen has started quickly.

:57:27. > :57:34.Such a talented rider. When he won the that Omnium in London he was

:57:34. > :57:44.sensational. He is a former junior Individual Pursuit champion as well.

:57:44. > :57:44.

:57:44. > :57:54.He knows how to measure his efforts across the 16 laps. Martin Irvin

:57:54. > :58:00.

:58:00. > :58:04.has a lot of work to do. -- Martyn Irvine. He has gone out quick. He

:58:04. > :58:14.is being shown by his coach he is well up on the schedule they have

:58:14. > :58:20.

:58:20. > :58:26.set. Maybe he has gone out to quick. Wonderful style by Lasse Hansen. He

:58:26. > :58:36.comes from a town in Denmark which has produced a few great riders. He

:58:36. > :58:37.

:58:37. > :58:46.is following in a great tradition. Martyn Irvine is falling back on

:58:46. > :58:52.his schedule. He is not losing any more ground. He might be the one

:58:52. > :59:02.who has pace this well. We will keep an eye on this. The pursued is

:59:02. > :59:04.

:59:04. > :59:10.one at the end. You have got to measure your effort. -- per suit.

:59:11. > :59:20.Martyn Irvine starting to lose a little bit of ground. He knows the

:59:21. > :59:26.

:59:26. > :59:31.champion seven times. But you were looking at a rider here with a big

:59:31. > :59:38.future, hass freelance and. I feel sure one of the big professional

:59:38. > :59:45.teams will be signing him short leave. He crashed during that

:59:45. > :59:52.Omnium, got back up and dismissed the problem. He is back on his

:59:52. > :00:02.original schedule mouth. Not far to go. He can see the Irishman. Martyn

:00:02. > :00:03.

:00:03. > :00:10.Irvine starting to rock and roll a little bit. He really is moving. He

:00:10. > :00:18.is going well. That is three seconds faster at the same point

:00:18. > :00:26.this morning. Clearly he was doing enough to qualify. We could be

:00:26. > :00:35.seeing a sub for 20 here. Bear in mind he has already ridden the heat

:00:35. > :00:42.up earlier today. He is flying. think he could get inside, you are

:00:42. > :00:52.right. It is a strong ride. Martyn Irvine doing well. But he is being

:00:52. > :00:53.

:00:53. > :00:59.display of pedalling excellence by the young Dane. Here comes Lasse

:00:59. > :01:08.Hansen, up to the line. Let's look at the finishing time. It's going

:01:08. > :01:17.to be impressive. Just a tad outside of the 4.20 barrier. But he

:01:17. > :01:21.is set another lifetime best. got to be pleased with that. To go

:01:21. > :01:31.two seconds faster in the same day, it is a sign of the form that he is

:01:31. > :01:39.on. Two brilliant rides. 4.22 in qualification, for 0.28 to take

:01:39. > :01:47.gold. Fair play to Martyn Irvine of Ireland, two lifetime bests. He

:01:47. > :01:57.took four off it this morning, now The de omnium, Laura Trott is going

:01:57. > :02:03.

:02:03. > :02:13.well. Let's look at the standings perhaps a weakness for Laura Trott.

:02:13. > :02:15.

:02:15. > :02:19.line this time, the whole field together in this penultimate event

:02:19. > :02:29.of the women's omnium, the scratch race. We are waiting for the first

:02:29. > :02:33.

:02:33. > :02:43.tentative move from the medal becoming a real performer in this

:02:43. > :02:44.

:02:44. > :02:48.event. She has been very active in the first few laps. Pawlowska air,

:02:48. > :02:51.of Poland, this will be her favourite discipline. That is where

:02:51. > :02:58.she will be hoping to get a good finishing position. She's currently

:02:58. > :03:02.third. 16 points, just one more than the leading race riders.

:03:02. > :03:06.That's the problem, she is going to be well marked in this event. Which

:03:06. > :03:13.is good, if you are watching. near the back, at the moment. 27

:03:13. > :03:18.laps to go. It's the car before the storm. They are trying to secure

:03:18. > :03:21.their positions before they get to the time trial. Easing back again,

:03:21. > :03:25.nobody wants to show their hand yet. If it carries on like this, this is

:03:25. > :03:29.playing into the hands of Laura Trott, with the time trials still

:03:29. > :03:35.to come. Now, a little attack beginning to unfold. This looks

:03:35. > :03:39.like Sharakova, having a go. Yes, that is Sharakova. Indicative of

:03:39. > :03:48.the style of this Ryder. A very aggressive. Laura Trott goes

:03:48. > :03:58.straight after it. The three key players, well, they are right at

:03:58. > :04:01.

:04:01. > :04:05.the head commit yet. A long, thin win, they have to sprint flat out

:04:05. > :04:15.to beat each other, even in the middle of the field. That is our

:04:15. > :04:19.

:04:19. > :04:25.first successful attempt at making 23 points. That is a good move, she

:04:25. > :04:30.has the Russian with her. Now, is they go to be a reaction from

:04:30. > :04:36.behind? They have to get on it quickly. These two, a nice working

:04:36. > :04:41.pair. They have a good quarter of a lap leader already. A lot of

:04:41. > :04:45.swinging going at the back. Nobody is committed to the chase. If they

:04:45. > :04:54.just rolled around the bottom, taking small turns, pace would stay

:04:54. > :04:57.high. Nobody wants to bring it on. The Russian, pretty handily placed.

:04:57. > :05:03.You are right, nobody is prepared to bury themselves at the head of

:05:03. > :05:11.the bunch. These two are profiting from it. They've got about a third

:05:11. > :05:19.of a lap. They have enough room, enough alas stick to withstand

:05:19. > :05:24.these flurries. -- elastic. It will be a difficult one to get back.

:05:24. > :05:32.They could finish first and second if they get this lab. 20 laps to go

:05:32. > :05:39.in the penultimate event, in the scratch race. These two are trying

:05:40. > :05:44.to gain a lead. And they are doing it. The Lithuanian and the Russian,

:05:44. > :05:49.they are currently 5th and 6th in the contest. A good move, leading

:05:49. > :05:59.by a lap. Sharakova has attacked as well. She has been allowed some

:05:59. > :06:08.

:06:08. > :06:15.rider at the front. Currently 7th in the standings. It's a bit too

:06:15. > :06:19.far, on your Rome. Ryan of Ireland has tentatively gone after her. --

:06:19. > :06:26.on your own. She didn't attack forcefully enough, so she has

:06:26. > :06:31.company immediately. I think she's going to be back in the next few

:06:31. > :06:38.laps. Laura Trott is running a cautious race. She's not expending

:06:38. > :06:44.too much energy. It might just stay the same and the status quo. A good

:06:44. > :06:50.ride. The sprint between them will be critical, absolutely critical.

:06:50. > :06:57.Just one point, so important. tactical affair, we knew that it

:06:57. > :07:00.would be. The bunch is smarting a little bit, having lost that lap.

:07:00. > :07:04.They are not inclined to let anybody else have the same kind of

:07:04. > :07:09.leeway. They are keeping the pace high around the bottom. Laura Trott

:07:09. > :07:13.is getting involved in keeping the pace five. The race hasn't been in

:07:13. > :07:19.an angry mood. We haven't seen several different groups. When they

:07:19. > :07:29.come to do mind it will be 40 more to go. Still, just off the front,

:07:29. > :07:29.

:07:29. > :07:34.not going anywhere. Being chased down by the rider from Mexico.

:07:34. > :07:39.Pedestrian pace. She might just trundle away. She has looked over

:07:39. > :07:45.the shoulder, they might be potential for making this work

:07:45. > :07:52.after all. Another reaction from the front of the main field. Again,

:07:53. > :07:59.it's the rider from Mexico having a go. Bridging of to the rider from

:07:59. > :08:05.Spain. That could make all the difference if they get together.

:08:05. > :08:15.They haven't quite got the punch to break the elastic. They had so many

:08:15. > :08:39.

:08:39. > :08:47.attacks, the law of averages should the penultimate event in the

:08:47. > :08:54.women's omnium contest. A brace of riders just at the front. Spain, in

:08:54. > :08:57.the white and red. With hair, the Mexican. -- with her. They have had

:08:57. > :09:00.some time to gather themselves. They are working well together.

:09:00. > :09:06.They are getting a little bit more leeway. They are clawing a few more

:09:06. > :09:10.metres every lap. They are up to have a quarter of a lap. The

:09:10. > :09:16.Spaniard is really struggling, not staying on at the wheel. She's

:09:16. > :09:26.paying the penalty for of those laps she spent out on her Rome.

:09:26. > :09:27.

:09:27. > :09:33.they stay away, and if Laura Trott leads the way, that will set it up

:09:33. > :09:43.perfectly for the final, providing Laura Trott and Ankudinoff lead.

:09:43. > :09:46.

:09:46. > :09:54.think everybody is going to start not going to affected a tall. We

:09:54. > :09:59.had two more going away and that is dangerous. We are going to have to

:09:59. > :10:05.start looking at the main group and look at the two leaders at the

:10:05. > :10:08.moment. That is Laura Trott and Ankudinoff. They cannot leave any

:10:08. > :10:14.daylight between them. Two or three points could make all of the

:10:14. > :10:24.difference in this race. Laura Trott, at the moment, happy to be

:10:24. > :10:24.

:10:24. > :10:30.at the back of the pack. And we have the two riders that lead the

:10:31. > :10:38.field. One kilometre to go as they go around. I don't know if they

:10:38. > :10:42.will have time to make the junction. They are chasing down the others.

:10:42. > :10:50.The rider from Finland looks like she is going to retire. She is

:10:50. > :10:55.really struggling. Four laps to go. The Mexican, actually going to

:10:55. > :11:01.close that gap. She's waiting for the sprint. The Spaniard has gained

:11:02. > :11:11.the lap. So, the first four places in this race, the highest that

:11:12. > :11:18.

:11:18. > :11:23.Laura Trott can finishes 5th. wind us up at her own pace. Higgins

:11:23. > :11:28.of the United States is on her shoulder. It looks like Sharakova

:11:28. > :11:34.is going to start the sprint. Yes, she's starting the charge for the

:11:34. > :11:38.line. We had two that are clear rows well. Ankudinoff is trying to

:11:38. > :11:48.come past her. Laura Trott is also in the shake-up. These are the

:11:48. > :11:52.

:11:52. > :12:02.means that she will have levelled up with Laura Trott. It looked like

:12:02. > :12:17.

:12:17. > :12:23.That means that Laura Trott will be behind Ankudinoff, with one race to

:12:23. > :12:27.go. Well, that all happened with just over one lap to go. Ankudinoff

:12:27. > :12:32.was behind Laura Trott. But she just got a little bit boxed in and

:12:32. > :12:40.took the opportunity to come over the top. Laura Trott didn't have

:12:40. > :12:44.time to come back around. Fantastic event. We will wait for the

:12:44. > :12:49.countback. But Ankudinoff now has the advantage over Laura Trott. It

:12:49. > :12:57.if she can beat Laura Trott in the time-trial. Laura Trott is a

:12:57. > :13:01.electric in that Test against the She'll need to be, she now sits two

:13:02. > :13:10.points behind the Australian. She'll need to beat her by two

:13:10. > :13:19.places in order to take the gold Laura Trott, listening to some

:13:19. > :13:23.music and getting ready. A little bit like the Olympic omnium, where

:13:23. > :13:31.she needed to come back and pole to get the gold. This is certainly a

:13:31. > :13:35.strong event for her. There is no doubt she can win the last event.

:13:35. > :13:39.The real question is whereabouts she is good enough to finish. Her

:13:39. > :13:43.destiny is not in her own hands. We shall just have to not worry about

:13:43. > :13:53.what happens. She had to smash it as hard as she can and then see

:13:53. > :14:06.

:14:06. > :14:13.riders are preparing for the next Jonathan mentioned, nor the will

:14:13. > :14:23.have to be two places higher. -- just to pick up at point that

:14:23. > :14:26.

:14:26. > :14:36.take the time to events, put all that time together and see who is

:14:36. > :14:44.

:14:44. > :14:48.the time-trial, that isn't any good. Ankudinoff will win the gold. That

:14:48. > :14:54.is all to come in the final heat, when Laura Trott lines up against

:14:54. > :15:02.Ankudinoff to see who will take the gold medal. The leading time is the

:15:02. > :15:12.French competitor. You can just see here, that time off 36.448. That is

:15:12. > :15:17.

:15:17. > :15:26.Laura Trott one the world champion in Melbourne, she finished the time

:15:26. > :15:31.trial with a 35.73. I do not know if she has that kind of pace. She

:15:31. > :15:37.is very quick. A lot of that is because she doubles up with this

:15:37. > :15:42.event because her job is the starter so she spends a lot of time

:15:42. > :15:52.coming out of the gates perfecting that. In this event, it is a huge

:15:52. > :15:58.

:15:58. > :16:05.chunk of it. These are the Laura Trott. It is about composing

:16:06. > :16:12.yourself. There she is. She is such an athlete, such a fighter. This is

:16:12. > :16:22.a carbon copy of the Olympics when she looked American a way to make

:16:22. > :16:22.

:16:22. > :17:22.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds

:17:22. > :17:27.Choosing to go with the pursuit bikes, some of them go with a stand

:17:27. > :17:32.drop handlebar bike. A 30% less power when they get into the same

:17:32. > :17:38.position. It makes an enormous difference over the second a lap.

:17:38. > :17:48.An impressive opening lap. The quickest we have seen so far. Can

:17:48. > :17:52.the Lithuanian back it up? Driving on for the line. Very impressive.

:17:52. > :18:00.And that is a very quick time indeed. She is now the leader in

:18:00. > :18:04.the time trial. She will be pleased with that. A lot of the riders have

:18:04. > :18:10.differing backgrounds in the omnium. Some are sprint orientated and

:18:10. > :18:20.struggle on the distance. Ed Clancy is in that school. The endurance

:18:20. > :18:26.

:18:26. > :18:36.riders are not as good in these. three, that time. I wonder if

:18:36. > :18:42.

:18:42. > :18:50.the season. She has been otherwise occupied after the Olympic Games. I

:18:50. > :18:56.still think she has it in her legs to get under the 36 seconds mark.

:18:56. > :19:02.Lots of medals celebrations. She has still ridden with tremendous

:19:02. > :19:06.determination and aggression here. So much pride, the world champion

:19:06. > :19:16.wearing the rainbow stripes and it lifts you when you have the jersey

:19:16. > :19:19.

:19:19. > :19:29.on. Penultimate heat. Poland against Russia. Poland is lying

:19:29. > :19:43.

:19:43. > :19:47.third and Russia in fourth. The yesterday morning in this contest

:19:47. > :19:51.with a one-lap time trial, they have written a points race, an

:19:51. > :20:01.elimination race and individual pursuit, scratch race and now this

:20:01. > :20:19.

:20:19. > :20:26.Test against the clock over two Lithuanian. The Russian has a

:20:26. > :20:31.better start by some margin. Inside 28 seconds by Russia. The fastest

:20:31. > :20:39.opening lap so far. Poland are going well as well. A fantastic

:20:39. > :20:49.ride. Incredibly quick opening lap. The answer to question is yes, they

:20:49. > :20:52.

:20:52. > :20:56.have gone inside 36. That is the new fastest time, Poland second.

:20:56. > :21:06.That is slightly quicker than the time Laura Trott recorded last year

:21:06. > :21:13.when she got the world title in Melbourne. That is no mean feat.

:21:13. > :21:21.She is on fire, great technique out of the gates. I am not sure anybody

:21:21. > :21:31.will touch that's today, surely not. She has moved up the standings. The

:21:31. > :21:48.

:21:48. > :21:58.winning performance to better the time today. It is not necessarily

:21:58. > :22:05.

:22:05. > :22:15.about winning a discipline but between them if she is to take the

:22:15. > :22:26.

:22:26. > :22:29.title here. If they finished first the announcements have been made

:22:29. > :22:39.consistently so they are right on the case. This will be very

:22:39. > :22:42.

:22:42. > :22:52.exciting. The coach has given the final information. She must be, if

:22:52. > :22:59.

:22:59. > :23:09.she is to get near the time, around halfway mark. Just one rider has

:23:09. > :23:20.

:23:20. > :23:25.gone inside 20 seconds on the first omnium. This is the classic style

:23:26. > :23:29.of Laura Trott. Really working hard to get biggest spinning. She is

:23:29. > :23:34.already ahead of Australia. See the aggression on her face. She

:23:34. > :23:42.desperately wants this. She is giving it absolutely everything. A

:23:42. > :23:48.huge lead at the moment. If it remains like this, Laura Trot will

:23:48. > :23:58.take gold. She is eating up the ground. She buries herself up to

:23:58. > :24:07.

:24:07. > :24:16.gold! Sheer aggression. Totally different styles. We see the replay

:24:16. > :24:21.in a moment. The Australian looked like she was starting a pursuits

:24:21. > :24:28.out of the gate. She came out of the gates, the aggression. Look at

:24:28. > :24:38.her face. All smiles. She is such a crowd pleaser. She is a terrier

:24:38. > :24:46.

:24:46. > :24:51.when she comes to race around the filling in it for Jo Rowsell. It is

:24:51. > :24:56.paid off. Look up expression. She knows how to do this. It was so

:24:56. > :25:06.important. It is the mark of a champion, performing well and doing

:25:06. > :25:07.

:25:07. > :25:13.it on demand. It is all about winning. And not in peak form. She

:25:13. > :25:18.has been celebrating her double gold medals for London. Next year

:25:18. > :25:26.she will take some stopping. She said she was coming to enjoy the

:25:26. > :25:36.racing. She can enjoy that. She loves it. Laura Trott finishes at

:25:36. > :25:52.

:25:52. > :26:01.how tight it was at the top. That brilliant ride by Laura Trot sealed

:26:01. > :26:07.the gold medal. Sportingly acknowledged. She recognises the

:26:07. > :26:12.sheer talent of Laura Trot. Another five-star performance here by the

:26:13. > :26:18.double gold medallist from London. The coach's continued to pour

:26:18. > :26:24.congratulations all over her. Six events and she effectively won at

:26:24. > :26:33.by 0.133 of a second. Laura Trot wins the Gold from the Australian.

:26:33. > :26:38.Many congratulations. A champions' performance. A I can't believe it.

:26:38. > :26:44.I am so tired. Are not going to live. I don't even know what I am

:26:44. > :26:49.doing here! I am so tired right now. It is a hard coming back from the

:26:49. > :26:55.Olympics and getting your head around racing again. I am not fit.

:26:55. > :27:00.I came here because of the home crowd. You want to give them

:27:00. > :27:06.something back. To compete in the home World Cup, I wanted to do it

:27:06. > :27:10.and say thank you. I can't believe I won, I really can't! If this is

:27:10. > :27:18.how you perform when you're not fit, everybody had better watch out.

:27:18. > :27:25.Your competitive nature comes out. Definitely. I was sitting there, I

:27:25. > :27:31.was absolutely shattered. I like winning. I did want silver! I liked

:27:31. > :27:36.it when the crowd's cheers me. happens now? I am going to

:27:36. > :27:42.Australia for an insurance scam. I will try to get it. And then come

:27:42. > :27:49.back fighting fit for the world. Congratulations. That was fantastic.

:27:49. > :27:59.Thank you. She says she isn't even fit and she has won! She is taking

:27:59. > :28:10.

:28:10. > :28:15.be an even contest. The Russian will probably have the edge. Spain

:28:15. > :28:20.at the front at the moment. The Russian at riding in his trade

:28:21. > :28:27.colours. Not the national colours. They have both been put through the

:28:27. > :28:31.mill. They do not look as attentive as they have previously. The length

:28:31. > :28:41.of the competition is taking its toll. Both of them not hanging

:28:41. > :28:41.

:28:41. > :28:50.around. It is always a morale boost to get race won. That is what the

:28:50. > :28:55.Russian will try and do. Looking for the inside position. He did not

:28:55. > :29:04.defend at all there. One lap to go in race one. The Russian in front.

:29:04. > :29:10.It was a weak challenge from Spain that he didn't have the speed. He

:29:10. > :29:16.will not come back from that. Race One goes to the Russians. That was

:29:17. > :29:26.handled astutely. It looked lethargic but the time belies it.

:29:26. > :29:34.It was a quick bit of sprinting. I am not sure his heart was in that.

:29:34. > :29:41.Great work by the Russian. Spain will have to find enthusiasm if

:29:41. > :29:51.they are to take the next one. He is not quite in the league -- same

:29:51. > :30:01.

:30:01. > :30:11.I've been waiting for. Wait until these to lock horns. Contrasting

:30:11. > :30:12.

:30:12. > :30:19.physiques. The man with muscles on muscles. Look at those legs. He has

:30:19. > :30:24.been in the gym. He missed out on a medal in the Games. The best of the

:30:24. > :30:34.losers, that's the best position. They are still burning with eight

:30:34. > :30:40.

:30:40. > :30:50.needs to get some payback after the places, they have still got a point

:30:50. > :30:53.

:30:53. > :31:03.to prove. -- Beware the people in of Stefan Boetticher, because he

:31:03. > :31:09.got beaten in the National's by him. And Stefan Boetticher has got a

:31:09. > :31:19.point to prove as well. It should be some real tasty sprinting.

:31:19. > :31:25.

:31:25. > :31:34.coming up to the line, there they Boetticher's senior. We mentioned

:31:34. > :31:43.earlier, that Stefan Boetticher has some real wisdom which belies his

:31:43. > :31:46.age. He certainly does. He pointed out earlier, it was your Chris Hoy,

:31:46. > :31:56.they will know each other's every move, because of their training

:31:56. > :32:02.

:32:02. > :32:08.other man off-guard. Just trying to outwit his tactical nous. They are

:32:09. > :32:18.so well-matched. I think Forstemann probably has the edge on form. But

:32:19. > :32:30.

:32:30. > :32:38.they are so well matched, it is walking pace. They are not allowed

:32:38. > :32:41.to stop more than twice. Just as I say that, we get a standstill.

:32:41. > :32:48.reason they are doing this is that they have so much respect for each

:32:48. > :32:55.other, neither one of them needs to read it out. With their not being

:32:55. > :32:59.many long straights, the need for it has disappeared. They get 30

:32:59. > :33:04.seconds and then the judge will instruct the leading rider to lead

:33:04. > :33:10.away, and if he does not, the races stop. They are not allowed to roll

:33:10. > :33:13.backwards, either. We have seen in the past, sometimes one of them

:33:13. > :33:20.cynically puts the rear wheel against the fence, just sat there,

:33:20. > :33:24.resting. Always pointing down the track, when that happens, so they

:33:24. > :33:28.can get faster acceleration. That's another skill that you almost

:33:28. > :33:33.always point out, they can ride forward, looking backwards. They

:33:34. > :33:39.make it look so natural. Watching the event, you don't even pick up

:33:39. > :33:43.on it. That, in itself, is an incredible earned skill. Forstemann

:33:43. > :33:46.actually got on the inside, then there was a reaction immediately

:33:46. > :33:50.from Stefan Boetticher. I don't know if he wanted that to happen.

:33:50. > :33:54.He tried to regain the initiative. I think that might have been the

:33:54. > :33:58.first mistake that we were talking about. Forstemann is going to lead

:33:58. > :34:03.this one out, goes for a little bit more height. Forstemann is leading

:34:03. > :34:11.it out. Look at the youngster, can he get on to the shoulder of the

:34:11. > :34:15.leader? Yes, he can! He makes it look easy. First blood to Stefan

:34:15. > :34:23.Boetticher. That was very impressive. I think I have to eat

:34:23. > :34:26.my words, on form. He looked very strong. Arguably, he made two

:34:26. > :34:32.errors. He got himself in that position, going into the back

:34:32. > :34:39.straight. There was just over a lap to go. Forstemann threw him some

:34:39. > :34:42.more bait to stop him diving over the top. I thought that might be it.

:34:42. > :34:47.But Stefan Boetticher had superior legs and was still able to go right

:34:47. > :34:55.round the outside. Forstemann teed himself up with different position.

:34:55. > :35:05.This is where they had the exchanges. The sheer arrogance of

:35:05. > :35:09.

:35:09. > :35:13.the youngster, he passed him what to slingshot through the slipstream

:35:13. > :35:17.and round the final bend. That extra exhilaration because of a

:35:17. > :35:22.height that he kept. Forstemann suddenly got his race face on,

:35:22. > :35:32.going for the line. But it's a victory to the younger of the two.

:35:32. > :35:32.

:35:33. > :35:38.There it is, that remark confirms You called that pretty well, you

:35:38. > :35:42.can come back! I think Forstemann's ride was his ideal ride. He likes

:35:42. > :35:48.to store his opponent, keep in close to him and not let him make a

:35:48. > :35:52.gap. The key point was that Stefan Boetticher gained weight, he kept

:35:52. > :36:00.pressure on the pedals and didn't back off. With a lap to go, he kept

:36:00. > :36:04.that height, created a gap and kept the pace. He had the pace and it

:36:04. > :36:09.made it look easy. That cat and mouse, is that a function from the

:36:09. > :36:12.fact that they know each other so well? It is, but you would be doing

:36:12. > :36:17.the same with any opponent. Forstemann likes to go from the

:36:17. > :36:21.front. They have a lot of respect for each other, but they both know

:36:21. > :36:30.the tactics Inside Out. He's trying to keep in close, he's trying to

:36:30. > :36:35.stall him and keep him as close as possible. He's created the gap,

:36:35. > :36:45.Forstemann has not committed. Stefan Boetticher is at risk of

:36:45. > :36:46.

:36:46. > :36:49.being stuck, so he gains some more getting momentum? He has so much

:36:50. > :36:54.more speed, it wasn't easy but in the last 50 metres he was not

:36:54. > :36:59.really struggling. It looked like he sat up by a little bit. What is

:36:59. > :37:09.the dynamic? You had it three years with Jason, what is it like racing

:37:09. > :37:10.

:37:10. > :37:14.It's weird, you get it often throughout the air, but at a major

:37:14. > :37:18.event it is very difficult. During the day, you know you are going to

:37:18. > :37:22.end up meeting each other later on, you while warming up together and

:37:22. > :37:29.talking, you are still good friends. When you step onto the track, it is

:37:29. > :37:39.enemies and it doesn't matter who they are. The third gold medal, the

:37:39. > :37:52.

:37:52. > :38:02.presenting the bronze medal. The silver medal goes to Ashlee

:38:02. > :38:09.

:38:09. > :38:19.and the gold medal winner, the world and Olympic champion,

:38:19. > :38:33.

:38:33. > :38:40.representing Great Britain, Laura She's getting quite accustomed to

:38:40. > :38:50.collecting these jerseys. That is the white jersey of the overall

:38:50. > :38:57.

:40:46. > :40:50.She's not only a brilliant cyclist, I think she's got the X Factor,

:40:50. > :40:55.that likeability factor. She's become a superstar in a short

:40:55. > :40:59.period of time, which is unusual. She has, particularly in a team

:40:59. > :41:04.with so many big names in there, she has shone in the a team that

:41:04. > :41:09.already has many stars. She has a great future ahead of her. She was

:41:09. > :41:13.admitting that she's not even at full fitness, she can still come

:41:13. > :41:17.and win a World Cup gold medal. I am sure the rest of them are

:41:17. > :41:21.terrified about what she will be like fully fit. She's 20 years old,

:41:21. > :41:25.she could potentially do another four games, if she carries on the

:41:25. > :41:29.way you have carried on. She could end up with a hatful of gold medals.

:41:29. > :41:33.Part of what you have achieved, what Steve Redgrave achieved, was

:41:33. > :41:39.that ability to keep on going, time after time. This is the first time

:41:39. > :41:44.she has done that. Obviously she is young, how do you set out her

:41:44. > :41:49.psychological approach to the sport? She has the gift required to

:41:49. > :41:52.be the best in the world, she already is. It's the desire, people

:41:52. > :41:56.like Sir Steve that go one to win five gold medals, it is beyond

:41:56. > :42:02.physical gifts, it's the mental toughness, the desire to keep

:42:02. > :42:05.working. It's not just about winning once the air, it's a

:42:05. > :42:09.training three times a day, sessions that put you in the state

:42:09. > :42:15.where you are physically sick, your muscles are aching. All sportsmen

:42:15. > :42:19.do this. It is doing that, year after year, there is not a lot of

:42:19. > :42:22.athletes that can do that. That is the key thing, you have to enjoy

:42:22. > :42:25.the day today, as well as winning the medals. I'm sure if she keeps

:42:25. > :42:30.the same attitude, we will be talking about care for many years

:42:30. > :42:40.to come. Let's look at the 500 metres time trial, the event that

:42:40. > :42:41.

:42:41. > :42:45.took the gold medal. She beat but she started off potentially

:42:45. > :42:48.going down the route of being a sprinter. So she has a great start

:42:48. > :42:53.out of the box, very aggressive. You can see that she is really

:42:53. > :42:58.quite punchy, compared to the Australian, who is buried smooth

:42:58. > :43:01.and more perceived style. She knew she just had to smash it for two

:43:01. > :43:07.laps and hope it is quick enough to put at least one person between

:43:07. > :43:13.hair and the Australian. Thankfully, her good enough was not good enough.

:43:13. > :43:21.Talk about what Laura is like back in Manchester at the Velodrome. She

:43:21. > :43:27.could be like a pop star, she is a bit dizzy. Clearly, if she's not

:43:27. > :43:31.fit, she has to have a strong mind and work ethic? She's a very driven

:43:31. > :43:34.athlete. It's great to see that in somebody so young, when they are

:43:34. > :43:38.able to enjoy it as well. She doesn't get overawed by the

:43:38. > :43:43.occasion, she doesn't feel the pressure. She certainly doesn't

:43:43. > :43:46.show that, anyway. To play two different roles, in 18 roll, you

:43:46. > :43:53.have the pressure that if you make a mistake then your team suffers as

:43:53. > :44:03.well. She can handle this pressure and she can perform to this level.

:44:03. > :44:10.imagine it is a race too far for her.

:44:10. > :44:20.We will soon find out, let's hope not. They always have a minor final.

:44:20. > :44:32.

:44:32. > :44:36.This is classifying the riders from if the two Spaniards actually

:44:37. > :44:42.trying to use the numbers advantage, getting themselves working together.

:44:42. > :44:48.Often, they like to go one and two. Number two leaves a gap that the

:44:48. > :44:55.others have got to close. It's an interesting one, this. Well, Jess

:44:55. > :45:03.Varnish just needs to be a little bit cagey. Try to profit from the

:45:03. > :45:08.moves when the action does unfold. The Russian rider, Elena Brejniva,

:45:08. > :45:12.she tucks in behind that biker. Jess Varnish is third place at the

:45:12. > :45:16.moment. In and out of the saddle, moving the bike around. That

:45:16. > :45:26.discourages others from trying to edge underneath all over the top.

:45:26. > :46:03.

:46:03. > :46:13.She is comfortably in third place. Totally different these races from

:46:13. > :46:48.

:46:48. > :46:55.the old style way you could push as they go down the back straight.

:46:55. > :47:05.They use the derny bike and then it is all on. -- they will lose the

:47:05. > :47:26.

:47:26. > :47:36.derny bike. The formation is themselves out while they fight for

:47:36. > :47:45.

:47:45. > :47:55.a bit. There is no chance of a late washed away in last position. It is

:47:55. > :48:17.

:48:18. > :48:27.may have snatched third. Yes, third. Netgear set 9th position over all.

:48:28. > :48:34.

:48:34. > :48:40.at the back. There is the big effort. It is a long way round to

:48:40. > :48:50.come. It was a photo finish for third, fourth and 5th. This was the

:48:50. > :49:06.

:49:07. > :49:16.I am fascinated by Laura Trott. 20 years old, the world at her feet.

:49:16. > :49:20.And how she navigates her way. is the big challenge for her. The

:49:20. > :49:28.lucky thing is she has great people looking after her, coaches,

:49:28. > :49:31.managers, people who have worked with previous athletes. She has the

:49:31. > :49:37.talent and the support, as long as she keeps the desire the future is

:49:37. > :49:44.bright. And that is something you don't know. She might wake up and

:49:44. > :49:49.say she is bought. The Rhys a monotony to it which is not always

:49:49. > :49:56.easy to manage. As long as the rewards and results are there, it's

:49:56. > :49:59.OK. There are some athletes, a train so hard but they don't get

:49:59. > :50:05.the reward they hope for. That is when the motivation becomes an

:50:05. > :50:15.issue. Let's go back out to the track. The final of the Women's

:50:15. > :50:29.

:50:29. > :50:39.Keirin. It will be a very juicy Hong Kong. And also the Russian. We

:50:39. > :50:51.

:50:51. > :50:58.mentioned earlier they had a long qualifying round. Very interesting.

:50:58. > :51:08.Becky James gets the front position. Kristina Vogel sitting on her wheel.

:51:08. > :51:24.

:51:24. > :51:34.That was a game plan be talked for everyone else jostling and

:51:34. > :51:34.

:51:34. > :52:28.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds

:52:28. > :52:34.front. The upside is you are always taking the shortest route around

:52:34. > :52:44.the track without the constant change of pace. It does have some

:52:44. > :53:10.

:53:10. > :53:16.company. A very different race. Everybody is playing the cautious

:53:16. > :53:21.game. That plays into Becky James's hands. She is dictating at their

:53:21. > :53:29.pace. Everybody is letting head to it. France are coming around the

:53:29. > :53:35.outside. Becky James leaving it out. James is fighting hard. Kristina

:53:35. > :53:41.Vogel is leading in down the back straight. We will have the charge

:53:41. > :53:51.also from Panarina. She has left it too late. Kristina Vogel takes the

:53:51. > :53:59.

:53:59. > :54:09.for a better race. She had the confidence to know she could wait

:54:09. > :54:09.

:54:09. > :54:15.until somebody made a move from the back. I wonder if Becky James could

:54:15. > :54:22.have stuck on the wheel of the journey -- German. It wasn't there

:54:22. > :54:29.for her to live. Kristina Vogel finishes the individual sprint and

:54:29. > :54:34.the Keirin. Second and third over the line. Russia and Hong Kong and

:54:34. > :54:42.Becky James in 5th position. You can realise the Germans are

:54:42. > :54:52.starting to get their act together when it comes to sprinting. As

:54:52. > :55:13.

:55:13. > :55:21.Chris Hoy pointed out, they could We saw a tight Jess Varnish, she is

:55:21. > :55:24.with Jill Douglas. -- tired. A busy few days, taking third place

:55:25. > :55:33.in the mind of final. Still looking aggressive and desperately wanted

:55:33. > :55:37.to get into the mix. Yes, one step at a time. After focusing on the

:55:37. > :55:43.Olympics to get Sylvie yesterday I was really happy. And in the keirin

:55:43. > :55:49.it is getting back in there and learning from it. I enjoyed it. It

:55:49. > :55:54.is learning again. And it's all about experience and getting into

:55:55. > :56:00.these races were there sprinting or Keirin. They're such tactical race

:56:00. > :56:05.is that you can only learn by doing them. Nothing is a substitute for

:56:05. > :56:09.actually doing the race. Not at all. I was one of the fastest riders up

:56:09. > :56:14.there, I qualified third and got silver yesterday. If you don't have

:56:14. > :56:18.the tactics, you can't get it right and get stuck on the outside. You

:56:18. > :56:26.end up coming off thinking I didn't do my best but it is tactics.

:56:26. > :56:33.have you learnt? So much yesterday. I did 11 rides yesterday. It was

:56:33. > :56:39.brilliant. Just learning again in the keirin. It all starts here.

:56:39. > :56:45.Australia next year. Yes, on Wednesday a training camp there.

:56:45. > :56:53.Thank you. It has been a good weekend for her. Yes, she should be

:56:53. > :56:59.pleased with her performance. jersey but it is not that simple.

:56:59. > :57:05.The sprint she should be pleased with. Back to the men's sprint.

:57:05. > :57:10.Bronze medal race. The second of the potential three. They have

:57:10. > :57:20.rolled away. The Russian at the front with one victory to his

:57:20. > :57:26.

:57:26. > :57:31.lacklustre. They were not sharp or looking to defend the position. I

:57:31. > :57:35.wonder if he has given himself a good talking-to in the break. He

:57:35. > :57:45.needs to really get emotionally into this if he is to have any

:57:45. > :57:48.

:57:48. > :57:53.chance was to the Russian has the front. He has a strapping on his

:57:53. > :58:03.leg. Sometimes the aches and strains need managing through the

:58:03. > :58:14.

:58:14. > :58:22.competition. It is not affecting something. He has taken the lead

:58:22. > :58:28.and is allowed to do so by the Russian. Now then, can he deny the

:58:28. > :58:38.Russian a 2-0 victory? It is far superior. A right over the top of

:58:38. > :58:39.

:58:39. > :58:44.this ban it. The bronze goes to Russia. It was quick and so it

:58:44. > :58:53.should have been. It looked like they were both on the same team, to

:58:53. > :59:03.me! Awesome power from the Russian. The extra distance in the finishing

:59:03. > :59:15.

:59:15. > :59:25.straight. When he got the legs beat the second match of the final.

:59:25. > :59:33.

:59:33. > :59:43.The Russian acknowledges the crowd. There is the result. We will see

:59:43. > :59:55.

:59:55. > :00:03.him later on the page in collecting might be wearing the same jersey

:00:03. > :00:13.but there is no difficulty telling them apart. He really is muscly. He

:00:13. > :00:35.

:00:35. > :00:45.was at the front of the queue when as we build up to the final? It is

:00:45. > :00:46.

:00:46. > :00:56.setting up a gladiatorial contest, isn't it? It is the elder statesman,

:00:56. > :01:05.

:01:05. > :01:15.Foerstemann who is leading off. Dramatic music setting up this

:01:15. > :01:17.

:01:17. > :01:23.final. Res two. The men sprint final. Foerstemann has got to win

:01:23. > :01:33.this to take into it a decider. His young opponent, Stefan Boetticher

:01:33. > :01:33.

:01:33. > :01:37.was hugely impressive in the first race. Nearly all of the riders

:01:37. > :01:47.choose my advisers to give as little information a way to their

:01:47. > :01:57.opponents. They cannot ride looking backwards. -- they can ride

:01:57. > :02:02.

:02:03. > :02:07.upper hand. As Sir Chris Hoy was saying before, the key was not the

:02:07. > :02:12.small errors in positioning, the winning move up for the young

:02:12. > :02:16.German was keeping his height and not taking his foot off the gas no

:02:16. > :02:25.matter what the direction of changes were. He never gave away

:02:25. > :02:30.speed. He kept his height. course, backing up in the second

:02:30. > :02:40.ride you should favour there are younger athlete. He has got there

:02:40. > :02:47.smaller build. Two to go. Foerstemann is a very experienced

:02:47. > :02:53.campaigner. It will not be easy for Stefan, that is for sure. He was so

:02:53. > :03:03.impressive in race one. Are we going to go to three? Or will the

:03:03. > :03:20.

:03:20. > :03:28.gold medal go to Stefan better final 200m. That is Olympic

:03:28. > :03:33.standard times. Take a note of the name Stefan Boetticher. He wins the

:03:33. > :03:43.gold medal here. He will take some stopping when he gets to the world

:03:43. > :03:45.

:03:45. > :03:50.championships. Have another look at this. He makes it look so easy.

:03:50. > :03:59.Foerstemann, he did everything he felt was correct. It just was not

:03:59. > :04:03.enough. I am just having a quick look at the times set during the

:04:03. > :04:10.Olympic Games. I think that was a faster match sprint than anything

:04:10. > :04:17.we saw in the Games. Incredible acceleration. The closing speed was

:04:17. > :04:24.so impressive. You can see the three-quarters of a lap to go, the

:04:24. > :04:30.speed it was so fast he would cover the distance with comfort. He must

:04:30. > :04:40.have given Foerstemann 15-20 metres there. He was so confident he could

:04:40. > :04:42.

:04:42. > :04:47.close down. When you have that slipstream it makes a big

:04:47. > :04:56.difference. The timing and distance is so important. You need to pass

:04:56. > :05:04.in the right place. There is the result confirmed. A great double

:05:04. > :05:14.from the German there, winning the Keirin as well. 250 metres to go,

:05:14. > :05:15.

:05:15. > :05:20.10m behind, you just looked at me He got Foerstemann up to full speed,

:05:20. > :05:30.committed. He had a decent gap. And he came past with so much more

:05:30. > :05:39.

:05:39. > :05:44.last 200 was, he was on great form. You called it right there. This is

:05:44. > :05:48.what Chris Boardman talks about, this hall in the air. The only

:05:49. > :05:54.saving grace for or Foerstemann there was if he had not accelerated

:05:54. > :06:04.to the line. But he had already reached top speed. Stefan but, on

:06:04. > :06:06.

:06:06. > :06:16.the other hand, was accelerating all the way. Kristina Vogel, she

:06:16. > :06:21.

:06:21. > :06:26.won the sprint. The Germans have This is the time for the people who

:06:26. > :06:31.may be did not perform at the level they hoped at the Games to come in

:06:31. > :06:35.and feel better about themselves. Obviously, the Germans are always

:06:35. > :06:41.up there. They did not do quite as well as they had hoped at the

:06:41. > :06:48.Olympics. They were hoping to win the men Keirin. They have come here

:06:48. > :06:58.with a strong team, but it is all about the world championships.

:06:58. > :07:08.

:07:08. > :07:13.terms of this World Cup, the The women have been doing it this

:07:13. > :07:20.time, haven't they? They have. There is nothing new there. The

:07:20. > :07:24.women are very strong all the time. They have shone together as a group.

:07:24. > :07:34.They have carried their male counterparts through. Some of them

:07:34. > :07:34.

:07:34. > :07:42.are having a rest! I feel a bit guilty. Never mind a! Becky James

:07:42. > :07:46.finished fifth in that women's Keirin. Let's hear from her now.

:07:46. > :07:52.You seem to get in a really good position of going into the

:07:52. > :07:57.penultimate lap. But a lot of power coming over your shoulder. Yes.

:07:57. > :08:05.There were some really strong riders. I gave it everything I

:08:05. > :08:11.could. It is all about experience with things like this. Ultimately,

:08:11. > :08:15.that is what you need. Definitely. This is the time to get race

:08:15. > :08:22.experience. Hopefully by the World Championships we will be on form.

:08:22. > :08:28.Hell have you enjoyed the weekend? It has been really good. A hard day

:08:28. > :08:35.of racing yesterday and today. have you made of this Glasgow

:08:35. > :08:39.veladrome and the crowd here? absolutely love it. The Welsh

:08:40. > :08:46.cyclists have been on form and going for that is positive.

:08:47. > :08:53.Definitely. It was really unfortunate that Peter Lewis

:08:53. > :09:01.crashed out yesterday. There are lots of young people coming through.

:09:01. > :09:06.It is looking good. And off to Australia? Yes. I'm looking forward

:09:06. > :09:12.to some sunshine. The women have been winning medals, and the men

:09:12. > :09:20.seem to have been crashing. Ed Clancy, Jon Dibben and Owain Doull

:09:20. > :09:30.are the only three that had not crashed. This was the team pursue

:09:30. > :09:35.

:09:35. > :09:40.it goes well it looks simple and well drilled. But that shows you

:09:40. > :09:46.just how wrong it can get. They just touched the wheel on the front,

:09:46. > :09:52.a split second lack of concentration. You do not get a

:09:52. > :09:56.second chance. One of the things Craig McLean talked about when he

:09:56. > :10:06.was here was the dimensions of this track were slightly different to

:10:06. > :10:10.

:10:10. > :10:14.Manchester. That is perhaps having an effect? Maybe he was being a

:10:14. > :10:23.little bit kind. There is a difference from this track and

:10:23. > :10:28.London. But everybody here has ridden on tracks similar to this.

:10:28. > :10:38.It does change things very slightly, but it is just a mistake which has

:10:38. > :10:51.

:10:51. > :11:01.I am sure one man who will not be panicking is David. Data is really

:11:01. > :11:05.good. It is exciting to have an indoor veladrome in Scotland. What

:11:05. > :11:10.is really exciting about this is that on a day-to-day basis it will

:11:10. > :11:16.provide another sporting facility for Glasgow and Scotland. Hopefully

:11:16. > :11:22.we will see greater numbers of youngsters taking outright cycling.

:11:22. > :11:27.A we have seen some brilliant performances today. Who has caught

:11:27. > :11:33.your eye this weekend? Elinor Barker in tremendous form and the

:11:33. > :11:43.likes of Jon Dibben. Absolutely. I think that was one of the best

:11:43. > :11:45.

:11:45. > :11:49.senior debuts I have seen by Elinor Barker. An amazing display. The

:11:49. > :11:55.decision making and the confidence that she had in that final ride, it

:11:55. > :12:02.was quite something. Very like Laura Trott. That is very exciting

:12:02. > :12:08.for us. All the young people who have come into the team, they have

:12:08. > :12:13.stepped up. It is unfortunate the men team crushed, they would have

:12:13. > :12:22.made the final for sure. The average age of the team is so young,

:12:22. > :12:28.the enthusiasm is great for us. We're into another Olympic cycle,

:12:28. > :12:34.you have been through it a few. Is the ambition and desire still

:12:34. > :12:40.there? It has got to be. If it was not, I would have to get out of the

:12:40. > :12:47.job. Every Olympic cycle is different, you cannot compare. You

:12:47. > :12:52.cannot learn, but each one is the start of a new journey. Our

:12:52. > :13:00.challenge is we have a new group of riders, we have real coming up and

:13:00. > :13:10.we need to make these group of riders the best that they can be.

:13:10. > :13:19.Rocky times as well, Bradley Wiggins with his crash. The news is

:13:19. > :13:25.that he is doing well, and we have seen Shane here this weekend.

:13:25. > :13:30.was quite a shock, and testing and a worrying time. I am glad to say

:13:30. > :13:35.they are both recovering well. Bradley is back training and he

:13:35. > :13:41.will put some consistent time on the roads. Shane is as tough as old

:13:41. > :13:48.boots, it might knock a bit of sense into him! Cycling has not

:13:48. > :13:52.been out of the headlines since the Olympics. The fall-out from the

:13:52. > :13:58.Lance Armstrong situation has been managed by yourself with the zero

:13:58. > :14:03.tolerance. Where are you with that process? We are pretty clear. We

:14:03. > :14:08.started teams guy with a zero- tolerance policy. We decided we

:14:08. > :14:11.would not recruit anyone with a past involvement in doping. With

:14:11. > :14:17.the Lance Armstrong situation it came to light that we might have to

:14:17. > :14:21.review that. We took some new information, looked at the positive

:14:21. > :14:27.and negative. We made changes where we needed to it and we keep on

:14:27. > :14:36.going. We have a very clear idea where we are going with teams guy,

:14:36. > :14:41.we are not changing tack at all. have been joined by the director of

:14:41. > :14:50.British cycling and sport. He is going to talk about British plans

:14:50. > :14:56.for the Tour de France. First, Joe was asking about the zero tolerance

:14:56. > :15:02.policy. It has been very depressing for cycling with regards to the

:15:02. > :15:06.Lance Armstrong situation. It has. It is not easy to read the

:15:06. > :15:11.headlines and watch the news reports. All I can say is the

:15:11. > :15:21.rider's feel as if the sport has moved on and as a rider all you can

:15:21. > :15:22.

:15:22. > :15:27.do is win clean. Show other The negative headlines have come

:15:27. > :15:34.out for a clean British team and Bradley Wiggins have won the Tour.

:15:34. > :15:39.It is strange. It is about Lance Armstrong, 2006, there were issues

:15:39. > :15:47.in the sport, athletes were testing positive and that's why it Team Sky

:15:47. > :15:52.it took the approach of zero tolerance. We don't want any doping.

:15:52. > :15:56.They won the Tour de France and did it clean. That is to be celebrated.

:15:57. > :16:02.It is also about sharing doping doesn't have to be part of the

:16:02. > :16:07.sport. Tour de France is far removed from the track. The track

:16:07. > :16:12.is a different thing. The UCI have come in for a kicking and rightly

:16:12. > :16:18.so but at the same time they must take some credit for getting the

:16:18. > :16:23.support to this stage when we have the British team winning the Tour.

:16:23. > :16:28.I am not the biggest fan of you see I've. They could have made the

:16:29. > :16:36.situation... There are things they could have done and should do in

:16:36. > :16:41.future to help the sport move on. Who knows what the future holds but

:16:41. > :16:48.what we are doing is we are not afraid of naming and shaming anyway.

:16:48. > :16:54.Who would have thought a global icon would test positive and the

:16:54. > :17:00.names and shamed? At least we are doing that. More positive things.

:17:00. > :17:08.We talked a little about British plans to host the Tour de France.

:17:08. > :17:18.Talk us through what it is at the moment. The ultimate idea is to

:17:18. > :17:19.

:17:19. > :17:24.bring it back to Britain. Our sport continues to raise its profile,

:17:24. > :17:27.reckless excess and Chris Hoy. We are confident the owners of the

:17:27. > :17:33.Tour de France want to come to Britain are to capitalise on the

:17:33. > :17:38.interest. They saw the Olympics and the road race and we are fairly

:17:38. > :17:43.confident it wants to come back. There are two been saying. One of

:17:43. > :17:50.those bits starts in Edinburgh and goes into England, Wales for a day

:17:50. > :17:54.and back into England. Four days of bike racing. There is also a bid

:17:54. > :18:02.from Yorkshire which I am it's that belief is three days but we don't

:18:02. > :18:04.know much about it. In terms of the timing, when are you likely to know,

:18:04. > :18:10.I presume there are other international bids as well. Yes,

:18:10. > :18:16.there are two or three other countries that are interested. It

:18:16. > :18:20.is a competitive bidding situation. We think the British bid is well

:18:20. > :18:26.thought through, a lot of strong stake holders. It is British, it

:18:26. > :18:36.will reach 50% of the population within half-an-hour's drive.

:18:36. > :18:39.Yorkshire have had a bid in for a while. Will it counts against

:18:39. > :18:45.Britain having competitive bids? It's not good. We met Yorkshire for

:18:45. > :18:52.the first time, we sat down and the obvious position was to appeal to

:18:52. > :18:57.them to join the same bit. I can understand that is not... We have

:18:57. > :19:02.to respect that but we are where we are forced up from a British

:19:02. > :19:06.cyclist perspective, we will be happy if it comes to Britain.

:19:06. > :19:09.as a proud Edinburgh man, it is better to see the Tour de France

:19:09. > :19:15.start in Edinburgh. That's something I never thought I would

:19:15. > :19:23.see. Amazing. I will make sure I am home for their weekend. Let's get

:19:23. > :19:28.back down to Gill tiddlers with Shane Sutton. -- Jill Douglas.

:19:28. > :19:34.busy few days for the team. How happy are you? Extremely. To come

:19:34. > :19:40.off the back of the Games to here, the new talent. A few unfortunate

:19:40. > :19:47.incidents but yes, in general the public is happy, a great venue.

:19:47. > :19:53.Great for us to come here and the results of five. It is about the

:19:53. > :19:56.roads to Rio. We are happy. Some younger talents Canning three but

:19:57. > :20:01.looking at the German scene, there is plenty of talent out there.

:20:01. > :20:04.is what to do with it. We have a great coaching team, good

:20:04. > :20:10.leadership and if you have talents that makes up the three ingredients

:20:10. > :20:15.to win Olympic medals. I think we can do that in four years' time.

:20:15. > :20:24.And to has impressed she specifically? The sprint girls have

:20:25. > :20:32.done really well. With the exodus of Pendleton, Trott is a legend.

:20:32. > :20:36.There is real good quality in Jon Dibben as well. He's impressed me.

:20:36. > :20:42.Look after yourself. Great sea. It's interesting listening to shame

:20:42. > :20:52.and David Brailsford, this kind of they will enjoy putting the puzzle

:20:52. > :20:53.

:20:53. > :20:56.together -- Shane Sutton. It is a whole new challenge. It doesn't

:20:57. > :21:01.mean it is the same template for success. You have to assess the

:21:01. > :21:07.challenge and break it down into chunks and set out will stall. It

:21:07. > :21:14.is a partially different team from London. Commonwealth Games coming

:21:14. > :21:24.up. You must be excited. Benny McAskill, a stunt riding is

:21:24. > :21:51.

:21:51. > :21:57.involved in promoting the Danny, how are you doing? Good. Can

:21:57. > :22:05.you do this tricks? That was me doing the stunts for him.

:22:05. > :22:08.excited are you and Scotland? massive. The way the whole GBE has

:22:08. > :22:14.embraced the Games, the Commonwealth Games right here in a

:22:14. > :22:19.matter of months, it is a great thing for Sport and Scotland.

:22:19. > :22:22.you would want to be part of it. Absolutely. It is my dream to

:22:22. > :22:27.finish my career here at the Commonwealth Games, whether I can

:22:27. > :22:32.do it are not, who knows? That is the plan. I would decide in spring

:22:32. > :22:38.next year. I would have had enough time to go to Australia, have some

:22:38. > :22:45.training and racing and assess how my body is holding up. And see if

:22:45. > :22:49.there is life in the old dog yet! there is life in the old dog yet!

:22:49. > :22:54.Next year, it is a ride London. It is like the Great North Run. It is
