:00:43. > :00:53.Good afternoon and welcome back for day three of the championships. It
:00:53. > :00:56.
:00:56. > :01:06.has been a great couple of days The highlight of the championships
:01:06. > :01:32.
:01:32. > :01:36.away they gave. Can the Great Britain successfully defend their
:01:36. > :01:39.world title? They could not be beaten. They are the champions
:01:39. > :01:46.beaten. They are the champions beaten. They are the champions
:01:46. > :01:51.again. A cannot believe my luck. This is absolutely stupendous. Oh
:01:52. > :02:01.my word, he has done it! I have been thinking about this one for a
:02:02. > :02:02.
:02:02. > :02:05.First gold medal in more than 100 years. And he backed it up with a
:02:05. > :02:10.silver in the pursuit and in the silver in the pursuit and in the
:02:10. > :02:19.table it is looking quite good for the Irish, or for Martyn Irvine. He
:02:19. > :02:24.is in 4th place. And a gold medal is in 4th place. And a gold medal
:02:24. > :02:27.from the women's team pursuit. And joining me again, Victoria
:02:27. > :02:36.Pendleton and Craig MacLean. Welcome back. A great couple of
:02:36. > :02:46.days. For Martyn Irvine, that was a highlight. Absolutely. A courageous
:02:46. > :02:57.
:02:57. > :03:02.and inspirational effort. The last 10 laps were riveting. He just
:03:02. > :03:08.continued to ride away from him and it was spectacular. And you kind of
:03:08. > :03:14.take it for granted. Absolutely. The this is seriously well put
:03:14. > :03:18.together from them. Having young people coming into the team at such
:03:18. > :03:24.a late stage, they have had so much success already and Elinor Barker
:03:24. > :03:30.is doing a great job. Amazing. of the highlights from the first
:03:30. > :03:36.couple of days later but here is what is coming up for Des free. The
:03:36. > :03:41.men's keirin. All eyes are on Jason Kenny, hoping to make amends after
:03:41. > :03:46.disappointment in the team sprint. And then the women's sprint. The
:03:46. > :03:53.defending champion is sitting next to me. Becky James and Vicky
:03:53. > :03:56.Williamson for Great Britain. And Dani King will be back in action
:03:56. > :04:03.after that gold medal yesterday. It will be fascinating to see how she
:04:03. > :04:08.goes. We will start with the women's sprint. Becky James
:04:08. > :04:18.qualified fastest. We are joining them for the quarter-finals. Vicky
:04:18. > :04:22.
:04:22. > :04:31.Williamson has been eliminated but world champion in the team sprint
:04:31. > :04:38.event with Anna Meares. 4th with Steph Morton. Underway in the first
:04:38. > :04:42.match up here. A best-of-three quarter-final. Kaarle McCulloch
:04:42. > :04:48.first and Becky James steadily behind. Kaarle McCulloch is 10th
:04:48. > :04:58.fastest in qualifying. She actually lost in the finals and got through
:04:58. > :04:58.
:04:58. > :05:06.here. Perhaps not quite on top form at the moment. I do not think so.
:05:06. > :05:12.One of the many riders that has dropped a bit after the Olympic
:05:12. > :05:18.Games which is understandable. Didn't quite make selection and
:05:18. > :05:24.finished third, or 4th. I would say that she is not on her best of form
:05:24. > :05:32.but there certainly has to be treated with respect. Becky James
:05:32. > :05:36.with that pass from the first set of Mac chaps faced Yudelmis
:05:36. > :05:46.Dominguez Masague from Cuba and now it will really start to get
:05:46. > :05:55.
:05:55. > :06:02.interesting with the quarter-finals. She will try and accelerate and
:06:02. > :06:09.keep it going for as long as possible. Taking the belt this time
:06:09. > :06:13.round. Just over one lap to go. And still Kaarle McCulloch is on the
:06:13. > :06:18.front but Becky James is ready to pounce. And Kaarle McCulloch is so
:06:18. > :06:24.far not able to offer any real resistance. Becky James is looking
:06:24. > :06:34.very strong and far too good for Kaarle McCulloch. She is leaving in
:06:34. > :06:37.You must be pretty impressed with that. She looked very relaxed and
:06:37. > :06:43.comfortable and gave plenty of space and had a wonderful run
:06:43. > :06:48.straight past her opponent. second heat coming up shortly. The
:06:48. > :06:58.women's scratch race features Dani King. Good afternoon, Simon and
:06:58. > :07:03.
:07:03. > :07:08.front for the first time, the rider from the United States. In great
:07:08. > :07:15.form, the Dutch rider, on the road, a winner in the recent tour of
:07:15. > :07:24.Qatar. Sarah is in second place with Mr Hoskins and Laurie Berthon
:07:24. > :07:29.of France. Mixing it up with the world's first. Dani King for Great
:07:29. > :07:33.Britain has just shown the pace a couple of laps agape but is now
:07:33. > :07:42.about three-quarters of the way back. The Mexican hitting the green
:07:42. > :07:45.and white. A lot of riders are happy to do the chasing. They do
:07:46. > :07:55.not want to do too much attacking at the moment. It is just about
:07:55. > :08:01.hanging together. The red and white is Wojciech Pszczolarski from
:08:01. > :08:08.Poland. She is the defending champion. In the white jersey with
:08:08. > :08:15.the green and gold band. It is almost the whole time in the first
:08:15. > :08:19.half governed. And the rider from the Czech Republic... And that is a
:08:19. > :08:23.good airing and they have got some room at the moment. They have got a
:08:23. > :08:33.bit of daylight and a good working pair. They are chasing but they
:08:33. > :08:44.
:08:44. > :08:54.have got a good 50 metres. That is race in Colombia. Always strong and
:08:54. > :09:05.
:09:05. > :09:09.always willing to attack and try the pacemaking. Dani King just
:09:09. > :09:15.peeling off towards the top of the track. You can see Sarah Hammer as
:09:15. > :09:22.well and the French woman. The world champion is leading the chase,
:09:22. > :09:29.making way for Caroline rowan. -- round. They are working well
:09:29. > :09:34.together, the two leaders. With 19 laps to go. Driving hard behind but
:09:34. > :09:43.every time there is a long wind, everybody just looks to see who
:09:43. > :09:50.else there is to help with the chasing. They are about 100m off
:09:50. > :09:56.the front and back could be enough. The current national and European
:09:56. > :10:00.points race champion from Germany, 25 years of age, Machacova from the
:10:00. > :10:05.Czech Republic, a World Championship medal in the last
:10:05. > :10:12.couple of years. She won a silver medal in the points race. She would
:10:13. > :10:20.love to win gold for the first time in her career. 17 laps remaining,
:10:20. > :10:24.at 16 as the leaders come back around. About six laps left in this
:10:24. > :10:30.race before it switches to think about the sprint finish. These two
:10:30. > :10:34.have got to hold on but another six laps if they are going to succeed.
:10:34. > :10:39.How do you feel Dani King has performed so far? She has done the
:10:39. > :10:43.right thing, contributed to the pacemaking. Stayed near the front
:10:43. > :10:48.out of trouble but has not done too much. She might be waiting for a
:10:48. > :10:52.sprint finish. We saw in the men's race that it happened with about
:10:52. > :11:02.ten laps to go. There are hesitations and someone who does
:11:02. > :11:17.
:11:17. > :11:22.not want to wait for a sprint, that right behind how the Mexican, 21
:11:22. > :11:27.years of age. She has been quite prominent at various points in this
:11:27. > :11:37.race. The Belgian is riding on the front and we are about to have
:11:37. > :11:38.
:11:38. > :11:47.another attack on the inside. Caroline Ryan from Ireland, now.
:11:47. > :11:51.Ireland is fourth in the medal table. Germany is second. She has a
:11:51. > :11:57.little bit of a gap here. I think we have seen this somewhere before.
:11:57. > :12:03.She has taken a leaf out of the Martin Irvine manual for the
:12:03. > :12:07.scratch race. Two or three laps early, unfortunately, and that
:12:07. > :12:17.could make all the difference. If you make an effort now you have not
:12:17. > :12:36.
:12:36. > :12:41.got time to recover. That is why all or nothing effort now. -- M
:12:41. > :12:45.left and it is all or nothing now. It is closing up all the time and
:12:46. > :12:53.the Mexican his third on the track at the moment, with Sarah at the
:12:53. > :12:57.front of the chasing pack. That is actually quite a long way left to
:12:58. > :13:03.go and she will be glad of the company that she has got. Two on
:13:03. > :13:08.the front and that might be a move it she can just stay with her.
:13:08. > :13:13.is hanging on just about at the moment. Losing touch with her
:13:13. > :13:20.opponent, who is so strong. She finished third at the Olympic Games
:13:20. > :13:26.in London. What an effort that was. Lizzie picking up the silver medal
:13:26. > :13:32.in the rain. The Irish are currently in a medal position with
:13:32. > :13:38.less than seven left. Caroline Ryan is in a great position with her
:13:38. > :13:44.Polish competitor and the Mexican. I think that they can do it. There
:13:44. > :13:49.is just a quarter of a gap between them. It is like playing poker and
:13:49. > :13:53.I do not think that they have got time. We have just got five
:13:53. > :14:03.remaining and they have got a clear working group and all of them are
:14:03. > :14:10.
:14:10. > :14:14.guaranteed a medal if they can stay word, how they are performing.
:14:14. > :14:22.will be four laps left if they go across the line this time. There is
:14:22. > :14:27.half a lap in it. Plenty of time. Just a minute of racing remaining.
:14:27. > :14:32.Absolutely on it at the moment. It is just a case of if she can hang
:14:32. > :14:37.on to the coat tails of the other two. Not a lot that she can do but
:14:37. > :14:42.just hang on for that last-minute and push as hard as you can and she
:14:42. > :14:48.just might come out of this with a medal. Melissa Hoskins is leading
:14:48. > :14:56.the chase. We are staying with the Mexican. Begat is coming down but
:14:56. > :15:02.they are just two laps to go and the Irish have got a great chance
:15:02. > :15:09.of another medal. Caroline Ryan is training everything in pursuit of a
:15:09. > :15:15.medal. And the Polish Rider looks like she is going to retain her
:15:15. > :15:20.world title in the race. She has taken the bow. The Mexican in
:15:20. > :15:24.second place. And it is rhyme from Ireland in third but they are
:15:24. > :15:30.closing all the time and I am not sure that she is going to hang on.
:15:30. > :15:37.I do not think she is going to do it and she has not done it. Alan
:15:37. > :15:42.Tate seagull, Mexican takes the silver and Russia takes the bronze.
:15:42. > :15:47.What a brave effort from Caroline but in the end she could not quite
:15:47. > :15:57.stay in it. It was just about one quarter of a lap when she was ever
:15:57. > :16:12.
:16:13. > :16:19.taken but it was a superb race. we have to remember. All three of
:16:19. > :16:23.them were in their own little world of paying towards the end. Look how
:16:23. > :16:31.close it was as she came into the finishing strait. Agonisingly close.
:16:31. > :16:40.Her effort nearly won her a medal. Danny kink finishing just in front
:16:40. > :16:47.of Caroline Bryant, sixth, and Ryan in seventh place. The men's race
:16:47. > :16:54.was brilliant yesterday. The Polish cyclist was the strongest in the
:16:54. > :17:01.field here. The Russian bear, we did not see her at all in the race
:17:01. > :17:09.until the finishing line came into view. People have different game
:17:09. > :17:14.plans. They can be upset by a gutsy attack. We saw that with 12 laps to
:17:14. > :17:19.go in that race and did just changed everything. The Polish
:17:19. > :17:25.Rider took advantage. She went after the Irish women and came out
:17:25. > :17:31.on top. The Polish cyclist looked the strongest rider all the way
:17:31. > :17:37.through there. A very strong ride from Arreola from Mexico, the
:17:37. > :17:47.current national omnium champion. But she was always chasing the poll
:17:47. > :17:51.
:17:51. > :17:56.who billings -- the Polish Rider, who celebrates. In a World
:17:56. > :18:02.Championships, you need every bit you can get out. It was just not
:18:02. > :18:09.quite fair. You could see in the team pursuit, she rode the
:18:09. > :18:14.Ballymoney. The Australian was very active early in the race, a Sarah
:18:15. > :18:20.Hammer as well. But when it came to it, they were both well down the
:18:20. > :18:27.field. Just confirmation of the result officially in. The Polish
:18:27. > :18:32.cyclist retains the world title. Arreola from Mexico wins a silver
:18:32. > :18:42.medal and the Russian wins bronze. Sixth bought Dani King of Great
:18:42. > :18:43.
:18:43. > :18:50.We got caught up in the Irish drama there as well. People watching at
:18:50. > :18:56.home will say, why did they let them get away? What goes on in
:18:56. > :19:00.those races, the tactics, is it easy to bridge a gap? Is someone
:19:00. > :19:06.launches an attack and there is a moment of hesitation, and the
:19:06. > :19:11.people at the front at that point think, I do not think I will, it
:19:11. > :19:16.can be a decision-making error. The people behind can decide to chase.
:19:16. > :19:23.You have to take opportunities, take your chances, and his people
:19:23. > :19:28.to hesitate it can play in your favour. You can get a gap. Very
:19:28. > :19:33.tough for an individual rider to bridge that gap? At that point
:19:33. > :19:39.nobody is willing to expend any more energy than they have to. It
:19:39. > :19:45.is one of those make-or-break moments, either make a break, get
:19:45. > :19:50.on to the break, and if there is an individual away then chased them
:19:50. > :20:00.down, or you jeopardise the sprint. Back to the commentary team. The
:20:00. > :20:02.
:20:02. > :20:12.second heat of the women's thick and fast in the Belorussian
:20:12. > :20:14.
:20:14. > :20:19.capital, Minsk. Chile, icy, snowing outside. The second ride of the
:20:19. > :20:23.women's quarterfinals. Becky James from Great Britain is up against
:20:23. > :20:30.Kaarle McCulloch of Australia. Best of three, and Becky James was a
:20:30. > :20:37.decisive winner of their first match. Chris. Qualifying first
:20:37. > :20:43.fastest. She has demonstrated in each round so far that she is the
:20:43. > :20:50.one to beat. McCulloch, known more for her team sprinting than
:20:50. > :20:55.sprinting. A psychological blow, the previous round, because it was
:20:55. > :20:59.clear that Becky James was physically stronger. By her own
:20:59. > :21:04.high standards, Kaarle McCulloch has not quite be on top of her game
:21:04. > :21:07.in the sprint competition so far. She is here in the quarterfinal but
:21:07. > :21:17.she has to win this match because Mbeki James his first over the line,
:21:17. > :21:19.
:21:19. > :21:24.she will be through to tomorrow's semifinal. McCulloch is going to
:21:24. > :21:27.have to try to stop Becky James using that physical ability. Becky
:21:27. > :21:33.James is saying she is in the form of her life coming into these
:21:33. > :21:37.championships and it has looked at way so far. Becky James going from
:21:37. > :21:44.the front. Has Kaarle McCulloch got the speed to close that gap and
:21:44. > :21:50.draw level? No, she has not. That is a really good win there from
:21:50. > :21:54.Becky James. The fastest qualifier this morning. And so far, she is
:21:54. > :21:58.saving through this competition. Not sure whether she has gone a
:21:58. > :22:07.little early there. No come up left the height and left herself a
:22:07. > :22:13.couple of lense to play with. -- McCulloch. In the end, Kaarle
:22:13. > :22:19.McCulloch, it was all she could do to get up on to the wheel and as
:22:19. > :22:22.shoon -- soon as she put her nose into the wind... Becky James does
:22:22. > :22:29.not have to have that third and final right to decide if she goes
:22:29. > :22:32.through. Minimalist approach. will come into play as we get to
:22:32. > :22:36.the real business end of the women's sprint but an excellent day
:22:36. > :22:46.for Becky James. This is the event she was really focusing on going
:22:46. > :22:47.
:22:47. > :22:55.into this week. She is just having a great competition. She was saying
:22:55. > :22:58.after the teams bring a bronze, which she won with Vicky Williamson,
:22:58. > :23:02.they are sharing a hotel room and she said they did not really get
:23:02. > :23:08.any sleep, they just sat up all night because they were so excited.
:23:08. > :23:12.And when she won another bronze medal in the time trial, going into
:23:13. > :23:17.it, Sheikh said she was that she was going first so she could then
:23:17. > :23:25.peg back to the hotel and think about the sprint. It did not really
:23:25. > :23:30.work out that way with her leading for so long. Kristina Vogel in
:23:30. > :23:35.white won the first match up. So she is just one match away from the
:23:35. > :23:40.semifinals herself. She is a world and Olympic champion in the team
:23:40. > :23:43.sprint. She has already shown blistering pace this week,
:23:43. > :23:53.particularly in the last lap of the team sprint final, which was
:23:53. > :23:59.
:23:59. > :24:07.stronger of the two in the previous round. Interesting to see what the
:24:07. > :24:13.Chinese cyclist is going to do about it. She wants to dictate both
:24:13. > :24:18.the speed and the tactics of this event. The Chinese woman won the
:24:18. > :24:22.meeting in Mexico a few weeks ago. That was the most recent World Cup
:24:22. > :24:32.competition. So in some respects she has got the form. But Kristina
:24:32. > :24:44.
:24:44. > :24:48.Vogel clearly had the speed in that cyclist at arm's length, and now
:24:48. > :24:53.deciding it is time to go. Great acceleration though from the
:24:53. > :25:01.Chinese cyclist. What a close finish. I think Kristina Vogel has
:25:01. > :25:05.got it up by less than half a wheel. I think you are right. She left it
:25:05. > :25:10.awfully late in the competition, all than to that final bend, and
:25:10. > :25:14.that was a surprise, actually. A very strong kick around the outside,
:25:14. > :25:19.and then the acceleration just stopped, she could not make up the
:25:19. > :25:26.final few centimetres. It had to be an all-or-nothing effort here from
:25:26. > :25:31.the Chinese cyclist, and indeed it was. A third of all we'll be fought
:25:31. > :25:41.-- between them. Kristina Vogel is safely through to the semifinals. -
:25:41. > :25:44.
:25:44. > :25:50.- a third of her bicycle wheel looking good here in the women's
:25:50. > :25:55.sprint. -- Kristina Vogel. And Stephane Morton comes up on to the
:25:55. > :26:00.track. She is in the last-chance saloon as well here, having lost
:26:00. > :26:07.the first match up against the New World 500 metres time trial
:26:07. > :26:14.champion from Hong Kong. As we mentioned yesterday, Leah is the
:26:14. > :26:20.prominent athlete in her home country. The flag-bearer for Hong
:26:20. > :26:28.Kong at London 2012. She is already a gold medallist here. Everything
:26:28. > :26:32.else is a bonus. It will be a nice feeling going into this World
:26:32. > :26:37.Sprint competition. Both of these sprinters have had good seasons
:26:37. > :26:47.over the winter. Over the Australian summer, as it is, of
:26:47. > :27:05.
:27:05. > :27:14.sprint? Can she get through to the semi-final? It is a tall order, you
:27:14. > :27:24.might say, against her opponent. A picture of concentration, the pair
:27:24. > :27:33.
:27:33. > :27:38.of them. It is a real trade-off. the back you have that element of
:27:38. > :27:42.surprise until the final moment. And your opponents just does not
:27:42. > :27:48.know what they are going to do but the flipside is you have got the
:27:48. > :27:55.extra length to make up in the final. Different competitors like
:27:55. > :28:01.to compete in different ways. Accelerating out. Match sprinting.
:28:01. > :28:06.It is about pure speed, but also about craft and guile. We could at
:28:06. > :28:11.about three, four metres difference on the outside and is an evenly
:28:11. > :28:15.matched pair and that is a lot of extra distance. There is an
:28:15. > :28:19.advantage of being in the front but the downside is pushing that air
:28:19. > :28:23.out of the way and that is the trade-off. It is a great
:28:23. > :28:30.opportunity. With Victoria Pendleton having retired. It has
:28:30. > :28:35.opened a window of opportunity, you might say on the front. It does not
:28:35. > :28:41.look like she has got the speed to get past. She will have one final
:28:41. > :28:50.push. But Wai Sze Lee was much too strong and she goes through to the
:28:50. > :28:56.semi-finals. Coming down the home straight with a lap to go. A bit of
:28:56. > :29:01.extra acceleration. Accelerated strongly and took the advantage.
:29:01. > :29:06.And you will notice that she accelerated heart and that is when
:29:06. > :29:09.you are level pegging. When you are going around the banking, that is
:29:09. > :29:19.when you have got the system to make it up and you can see that
:29:19. > :29:22.extra lunch. Tell us about these tracks. People will feel that with
:29:22. > :29:27.the 250 metres it is like they are all the same but that is not
:29:27. > :29:32.strictly the case. There are different tracks with longer
:29:32. > :29:40.straights and that can make a real difference. You have got a long
:29:41. > :29:44.straight and it is not as important, coming into the final. But if it is
:29:44. > :29:49.a short straight you have got to have it done before the final bend
:29:49. > :29:52.if you are going to have any chance. There are fundamental things,
:29:52. > :29:56.height, which can give your acceleration and that extra
:29:56. > :30:03.distance to go round the outside and they are the things you have to
:30:03. > :30:08.buy off against each other. She has just become the French national
:30:08. > :30:18.sprint champion for the first time in her career. A It is a big ask
:30:18. > :30:19.
:30:19. > :30:24.for her to get the better of her Chinese opponent in red. Leading 1-
:30:24. > :30:27.0 in this best-of-three quarter- final. If she can win this one,
:30:27. > :30:33.none of the quarter-finals will go to a decider which I think is quite
:30:34. > :30:42.unusual. Some close ones there but this one says Lee on paper should
:30:42. > :30:48.be at least close. -- certainly on paper. Very, very strong. It is
:30:48. > :30:55.hard to know what she can do. has got two silver medals from
:30:55. > :30:58.London 2012. We mentioned that in the keirin and also in the team
:30:58. > :31:08.sprint when they thought that they had beaten Germany but there was a
:31:08. > :31:29.
:31:29. > :31:34.technical infringement and the psychologically and tactically.
:31:34. > :31:40.This is the only opportunity she has got. Trying hard not to make a
:31:40. > :31:46.serious error. She has got enough power at the moment to overcome
:31:46. > :31:50.quite a few small mistakes. We mentioned that the slower they go,
:31:50. > :31:56.be more distance that is given. Trying to keep her height to give
:31:56. > :32:03.her the acceleration advantage. the back in the red, the Chinese
:32:03. > :32:10.hold all the cards in this match up. It is stacked against her opponent.
:32:10. > :32:17.They will take it this time. And she caused a bit of an upset and
:32:17. > :32:21.take it to a third? There is the acceleration down the back straight.
:32:21. > :32:26.She is very confident, waiting for that final banking. Smoothly
:32:26. > :32:31.accelerating around the outside with no problem. Perfectly-timed
:32:31. > :32:36.and wait. She was doing well down that back straight and tied it to
:32:36. > :32:43.perfection, as the line approached and she is comfortably through to
:32:43. > :32:53.the semi-finals. She will join Becky James, Kristina Vogel and Wai
:32:53. > :33:02.
:33:02. > :33:06.Sze Lee from Hong Kong. We know Chinese going through, she will
:33:06. > :33:10.join Becky James Tamara in that semi-final. Kristina Vogel will be
:33:10. > :33:16.up against Wai Sze Lee and they up against Wai Sze Lee and they
:33:16. > :33:21.will be a best of three. Official confirmation. Becky James of Great
:33:21. > :33:31.Britain, the fastest in qualifying today. She has been comfortable so
:33:31. > :33:35.far and safely sailing through to Vicky was just saying to me that it
:33:35. > :33:39.was very predictable. I think it was. Looking at who is racing and
:33:39. > :33:42.the qualifying times, I think probably some of the more
:33:42. > :33:49.experienced competitors and the bustards, including Betty and it
:33:49. > :33:52.makes sense that they are through. We have got Jason Kenny up next. He
:33:52. > :33:57.did not qualify in the way that he did not qualify in the way that he
:33:57. > :34:05.might have hoped. He went out in the first round. Jason Kenny coming
:34:05. > :34:09.from four. Going past Matt Crampton. Just want to qualify through to the
:34:09. > :34:14.second round and in fact the semi- final because we have got two races
:34:14. > :34:22.coming up in the keirin. It was comfortable for Jason Kenny in the
:34:22. > :34:26.end. Keeping everybody on their toes. But it was a bit of a shock.
:34:26. > :34:32.A couple of difficult races in the team sprint. Sometimes it is quite
:34:32. > :34:37.nice to have that extra race. It can time out a little bit and you
:34:37. > :34:39.just need to get your head switched-on before the semi-finals.
:34:39. > :34:43.Talking about that and perhaps Jason Kenny is one of these people
:34:43. > :34:47.that has not quite switched on that has not quite switched on
:34:47. > :34:52.yet... There has not been a whole lot of racing since the Olympics.
:34:52. > :34:56.They have had the Glasgow World Cup and I think is a really difficult
:34:56. > :35:01.time to get into that race mentality. It creeps up a bit too
:35:01. > :35:06.quickly this year. In terms of mind set after the disappointment of the
:35:06. > :35:11.team sprint, he did not even get into the medals. How will he get
:35:11. > :35:15.back from that? He will look at B- team sprint and compare it to
:35:15. > :35:21.everybody else out there and he was definitely competitive with the
:35:21. > :35:28.team sprint. He will not be disheartened in any way and he is
:35:28. > :35:32.truly the King fought to it. there is a bit of a change of the
:35:32. > :35:35.Guard and Dave Brailsford talked about that. You are not there
:35:35. > :35:44.anymore and Sir Chris Hoy is not competing. There is more pressure
:35:44. > :35:48.on Jason Kenny. And he is just 24. He will take it all in his stride.
:35:48. > :35:52.I think he will be disappointed with the overall performance and I
:35:52. > :35:56.think he will be quite ready and he will want to take it on and prove
:35:56. > :36:02.the form that he is in and that he is a champion. That little jolt
:36:02. > :36:07.that he had will probably get him back into the groove. He has had
:36:07. > :36:15.long enough to recover between races and with the semi-final being
:36:15. > :36:20.later. A little bit of time before we wait for the keirin. Going back
:36:20. > :36:26.to Becky James, how do you see her chances? I think she will be on the
:36:26. > :36:30.podium. I am quite sure of it. Her qualification time was very good
:36:30. > :36:34.today and incredible and I think she will be pleased. There is a lot
:36:34. > :36:38.of confidence to be taken from qualifying in first position.
:36:38. > :36:43.Everybody has got to capture and she used in a very strong position
:36:43. > :36:48.psychologically giving him. I think it is the best chance she has ever
:36:48. > :36:53.had of being a world champion. can get back to Minsk. I think we
:36:53. > :37:03.are ready for the second round. Jason Kenny up second. Back to
:37:03. > :37:07.
:37:07. > :37:14.from the Netherlands. He won the keirin last month. And the final
:37:14. > :37:19.rider, from Greece, a former junior keirin champion. And the German, a
:37:19. > :37:26.silver behind Sir Chris Hoy and Matthew from Australia. A world
:37:27. > :37:32.team sprint champion last year it. We have got the Australian, the
:37:32. > :37:39.German, a triple national champion, there won be spent in Glasgow. To
:37:39. > :37:44.German riders. A great competitor, Matthijs Buchli from the
:37:44. > :37:49.Netherlands and Simon in black from New Zealand. It was a dead heat for
:37:49. > :37:56.third place in London, I do not know if you remember. Bronze are
:37:56. > :38:03.awarded to both competitors. He has just moved out of his designated
:38:03. > :38:07.slot and taken his place, which he was allowed to do. He has conceded
:38:07. > :38:12.that position. It will be interesting to see if the German
:38:12. > :38:17.pair actually work as a team. we will see that in a few laps and
:38:17. > :38:23.if that does happen we will see a gap between them. They will be
:38:23. > :38:28.forcing everybody to come around the outside. He of the German
:38:28. > :38:33.riders, he has got 180 on his back and he has got experience with
:38:33. > :38:38.medals from the Olympic Games in a lasting years. But Stefan Botticher,
:38:38. > :38:46.175 in this race, he could be the man to watch because he is the up
:38:46. > :38:52.and coming staff. Just 21 years old. He was a senior champion and 19. I
:38:52. > :38:59.think we will hear a lot more from him in the next few seasons.
:38:59. > :39:07.very far now. Accelerating up to a maximum speed of 50 kilometres per
:39:07. > :39:15.hour. Just one lap left until that comes out. And then it is a free
:39:15. > :39:20.fall. The New Zealander is on the front. The Australian in green and
:39:20. > :39:25.gold and moving up into third, the bright orange, quite easy to spot
:39:25. > :39:30.of Matthijs Buchli from the Netherlands. And he is hitting the
:39:30. > :39:34.front with 2.5 left. He is getting himself into control and trying to
:39:34. > :39:37.dictate, coming back around the outside. They are in a good
:39:37. > :39:43.position and working together. This will make it difficult for the
:39:43. > :39:47.others. Stefan Botticher is in second place. Matthijs Buchli
:39:47. > :39:53.caught on the inside. Try to get into a good position here. Tightly
:39:53. > :39:57.bunched up. Stefan Botticher still in second place. Trying to come
:39:57. > :40:02.round the outside, is the New Zealander. But the Dutch rider is
:40:02. > :40:09.hanging in there. The German takes it, Maximilian Levy. And a really
:40:09. > :40:15.strong ride from the Greeks to take third. And it is closed between
:40:15. > :40:21.Stefan Botticher and the others. was a really fascinating one. The
:40:21. > :40:30.Germans desperately trying to work together, but they were split. In
:40:30. > :40:36.the end it was irrelevant. At I think that he has got third, the
:40:36. > :40:41.Greek. That was an excellent performance from him. He just could
:40:41. > :40:45.not get on the wheel. He could not get on to that wheel. He spent too
:40:45. > :40:51.long in the wind. And he took advantage and came back around the
:40:51. > :40:56.outside. What happened with the German pairing? Was there perhaps a
:40:56. > :41:01.bit of inexperience? I think he just could not stay on the wheel.
:41:01. > :41:06.He was forced off and he could not get inside. He only stayed there
:41:06. > :41:11.for about three seconds. The only other opportunity that he had was
:41:11. > :41:15.to get all of his weight on the front and come back on to the wheel.
:41:15. > :41:21.It looks like he was in a strong position, the Dutch man but he did
:41:21. > :41:25.not quite have the legs. Second race coming up but it is really the
:41:25. > :41:30.semi-final with the first three in each of these second round races
:41:30. > :41:36.contesting the gold. Each one of these is going to be tricky. They
:41:36. > :41:41.are separate races and they are very dynamic and much is going on.
:41:41. > :41:49.We are looking at the man in yellow and black from malacia. He has been
:41:49. > :41:54.to three Olympic Games. -- from Malaysia. Is very well known in his
:41:54. > :41:58.home country and they have got other cyclists as well. They are a
:41:58. > :42:05.decent team but his country had decided he is the only one to come
:42:05. > :42:09.to this event. Another great competitor here as well. Highly-
:42:09. > :42:15.skilled and they really enjoy what they did. Waving to the camera
:42:15. > :42:22.there. A very sharp and anybody that makes a mistake, he will be in
:42:22. > :42:27.that gap. Ready to go. Jason Kenny with the red crash helmet. A double
:42:27. > :42:32.Olympic champion. Not a champion in this event. This is very much to
:42:32. > :42:37.territory of Sir Chris Hoy. What have you made of his performance
:42:37. > :42:42.after that first round? Certainly it was not ideal on the back of
:42:42. > :42:47.that team sprint as well which was a bit disappointing. But he is
:42:47. > :42:57.still in good form. And the keirin will present another opportunity.
:42:57. > :43:04.
:43:04. > :43:09.Another day, another event. We will kilometre champion. He was in the
:43:09. > :43:15.team spent yesterday and what a week he has had four stop Josiah
:43:15. > :43:21.from Malaysia. --. Josiah from Malaysia. He knows his way around
:43:21. > :43:28.the track in the keirin, that is for certain. To buyers is a three-
:43:28. > :43:34.tier national champion on the track. Andrew Taylor from Australia, the
:43:34. > :43:41.new keirin Australian champion. He just took us away from Jason Kenny
:43:41. > :43:48.for moment. Scott Sunderland, a world team sprint medallist last
:43:48. > :43:56.year on home ground against Australia. Working hard to get away
:43:56. > :44:02.from the line. And they will settle behind the derny. 8 laps and then
:44:02. > :44:09.the Denny disappears. They are not allowed to have it before that
:44:09. > :44:18.point. And they must stay in contact. The rules are diff them as
:44:18. > :44:23.10 metres. -- defined as 10 metres. They will be anticipating that
:44:23. > :44:29.moment of transition and will be accelerating towards the middle
:44:29. > :44:36.when it comes off the track. Everybody is happy to rest in place
:44:36. > :44:41.at the moment. If you're wondering how to separate the two Australians,
:44:41. > :44:51.Andrew is the one with the bright blue bicycle and Scott Sunderland,
:44:51. > :45:08.
:45:08. > :45:18.jet black. Jason Kenny just rolling earlier in the year, in Glasgow. He
:45:18. > :45:24.
:45:24. > :45:31.will be looking to stay out of of the Olympic individual sprint
:45:31. > :45:35.and team sprint champion. This is it now, everybody starts to look
:45:35. > :45:39.backwards and watched the opposition, see if anybody is going
:45:39. > :45:45.to come around the outside. These Malaysian in yellow at the back,
:45:45. > :45:52.just in front of him, Purvis, the German. There is an awful lot of
:45:52. > :45:56.looking around going on. Heat was not going around the outside
:45:56. > :46:01.because he was waiting for Purvis. But the Frenchman just drove around
:46:02. > :46:06.the outside and he is totally in command at the moment. He has the
:46:06. > :46:11.upper hand here. Jason Kenny getting a bit stuck on the outside.
:46:11. > :46:18.Taylor from Australia coming past him. Scott Sutherland as well.
:46:18. > :46:23.Purves from France gets it from Taylor of Australia. The other
:46:23. > :46:29.Australian, Sunderland, in a photo finish with Jason Kenny for third
:46:29. > :46:33.place. As they came round into the home straight he knew some space
:46:34. > :46:39.and would develop so he just might have got it there. In fact, it has
:46:39. > :46:44.actually been given to Sunderland now, so Kenny lost out there.
:46:44. > :46:47.Kenny did not find himself in the best position. Taylor in second
:46:47. > :46:53.place and Sunderland just getting the better of Jason Kenny as they
:46:53. > :46:59.lost the line. Purvis have never ridden better than he has this week.
:46:59. > :47:05.I am going to take the Frenchman's wheel, but when he went, he could
:47:05. > :47:11.not lives with the acceleration. had the right idea that the reality
:47:11. > :47:15.of following him was another idea. So the Frenchman, Taylor and
:47:15. > :47:23.Sunderland through to the semifinal. Jason Kenny for Great Britain just
:47:23. > :47:30.Victoria, you were saying he was just in the wrong place with a lap
:47:30. > :47:34.to go. Things can happen very quickly and it is very easy to get
:47:34. > :47:39.boxed in. At that stage he was caught underneath two or three
:47:39. > :47:44.riders. That said, sat in pole position behind the derny initially,
:47:44. > :47:49.and it looked like he wanted to get himself in a good position, and it
:47:49. > :47:55.did not quite workout. Like most of the riders, he was just waiting for
:47:55. > :48:01.the French rider to come over the top and to get a draft and ride him.
:48:01. > :48:04.But when he did come over the top, Jason perhaps fought for the
:48:04. > :48:10.position for a little too long rather than backing off. By the
:48:10. > :48:14.time he had the thought, there were two riders in front of him. Has he
:48:14. > :48:18.just made a mistake? Is his mind not quite on the money at the
:48:18. > :48:25.moment and it is those fractions of a second and before you know you
:48:25. > :48:33.are out of there? I do not know. It is difficult to say that the keirin
:48:33. > :48:38.is a gamble when you have seen the likes of Sir Chris being so precise.
:48:38. > :48:42.But it can be over in just the blink of an eye. He comes back to
:48:42. > :48:50.rise for the individual sprint so one more chance of redemption.
:48:50. > :48:55.think so. It is his favourite event. He has had a lot more success in
:48:55. > :49:00.the individual sprint. As has been our routine over the last couple of
:49:00. > :49:05.days, on BBC Two around 6:00pm we carry on the coverage on the red
:49:05. > :49:15.button. Week will be looking to the men's decathlon of track cycling.
:49:15. > :49:16.
:49:16. > :49:21.There have already been two offence. Jon is the youngest rider of Team
:49:21. > :49:30.GB. He came to the championship as the world's silver medallist from
:49:30. > :49:34.last year's and Junior Championships. He was placed 11th
:49:34. > :49:44.after the first discipline, with the first round of the track,
:49:44. > :49:47.
:49:47. > :49:57.arrogate of New Zealand, the Danish champion and the Australian
:49:57. > :49:59.
:49:59. > :50:03.O'Shea. The Dutchman won but... So the standings after two fens she
:50:03. > :50:12.saw the Australia and the Dane tied together and just four points with
:50:13. > :50:19.We will head out to Minsk to speak to our commentary team. Good
:50:19. > :50:22.afternoon. Nice to see your faces. Good afternoon. We have taught in
:50:22. > :50:29.the studio about perhaps this contrast between the women doing
:50:29. > :50:34.well and the men quite so well. What is your take on this? Becky
:50:34. > :50:39.James in particular has been a shining light this week. Two bronze
:50:39. > :50:45.medals already and she looks in fantastic form here. Great to see
:50:45. > :50:48.her back to her best. She looked so good in Delhi in 2010 when she gave
:50:48. > :50:52.Anna Meares a race in the final for gold and silver in the individual
:50:52. > :50:56.sprint. She has had some problems over the last couple of years
:50:56. > :50:59.through injury and illness but she is back now and she's at the age
:51:00. > :51:04.where she can really make major strikes and it looks like she's
:51:04. > :51:09.doing that. She has been a major success. We were talking about
:51:09. > :51:14.Jason Kenny, who has not been at his absolute best this week and I
:51:14. > :51:18.know he had some problems after the Olympics. He said it was great for
:51:18. > :51:25.a month or two going out after London and everyone wants to know
:51:25. > :51:29.who you are, and then suddenly you are at home facing the prospect of
:51:29. > :51:34.getting back into training and he struggled with that for a while. He
:51:34. > :51:38.is not quite at his best at the moment. It was tough for Victoria
:51:38. > :51:45.to come and world -- and in the world sprint title after Beijing in
:51:45. > :51:50.2008. Gregory Bauge has decided not to be here, Kenny's great rival,
:51:50. > :51:53.Kanye is riding on but he did get caught out. Laura Trott's comment
:51:53. > :51:58.after the women's team does it was interesting. She said, who would
:51:58. > :52:02.not want to put on the rainbow jersey, but clearly the motivation
:52:02. > :52:07.issue has been different for different athletes? Every Olympic
:52:07. > :52:12.cycle it is the same as this. Deposed Olympic Games will
:52:12. > :52:16.Championships is always a mixed bag. We get riders who are third, fourth
:52:16. > :52:21.or did not quite make selection and have that burning desire to be
:52:21. > :52:24.world champion, and they are the most dangerous. People who had that
:52:24. > :52:29.Olympic success, they have that extra challenge of needing to deal
:52:29. > :52:33.with all of the things that that success brings and get themselves
:52:33. > :52:36.in good shape but it is such a subtle difference. The tiny
:52:36. > :52:39.differences that make the difference that even slightly you
:52:39. > :52:44.can go through the motions and do the hard training but it that
:52:44. > :52:48.passionate fire is not quite there, somebody is going to get it.
:52:48. > :52:52.quick question, what do you think David Brailsford will be making of
:52:52. > :52:58.this? It is the beginning of an Olympic cycle, or will he be
:52:58. > :53:03.content with how it is going? has seen this before. I think he
:53:04. > :53:10.will be quite happy with this. We have been through this several
:53:10. > :53:17.times, deposed Olympic Games. And sometimes beat the champions need a
:53:17. > :53:21.bit of a kicking. -- D big champions. And now is the time to
:53:21. > :53:25.make the changes and to experiment, and I think it is natural, when you
:53:25. > :53:29.have young athletes coming in, sometimes it will work out for them
:53:29. > :53:35.and sometimes it will not. There will be some lumps in the road. I
:53:35. > :53:44.thought it was a world-class right in the kilometre at full force
:53:44. > :53:50.Place all our men's champion -- in fourth place for our men's cyclist.
:53:50. > :53:58.There is some news on the men's keirin. You have seen it, Chris?
:53:58. > :54:02.Yes FA stop -- yes. It looks like the German has been taken out and
:54:02. > :54:08.Kenny has been reinstated so he will, after all, get another Shap
:54:08. > :54:12.at the keirin. We will have to have another look and see what happened.
:54:12. > :54:19.There was obviously a rule infringement by the journal on the
:54:19. > :54:22.final lap. Kenny is into the final. We will have a look now at what
:54:22. > :54:32.happened in that keirin to see what happened and why the French athlete
:54:32. > :54:37.was disqualified. I will not be able to tell. I think we have
:54:37. > :54:42.probably missed the point there. It looks like he came down may be too
:54:42. > :54:51.soon and forced adjacent below the black line. What are the rules
:54:51. > :54:55.about where you can and can't go? Here we are. I think that for
:54:55. > :55:00.judges too late. It must have been the move prior to that when he came
:55:00. > :55:04.over the top. You have to be clear of the riders you are moving in
:55:04. > :55:11.front of. Is your wheels are slightly overlapping or you force
:55:11. > :55:20.them to move down the track that is it. It are they get out of jail
:55:20. > :55:26.free car for Jason Kenny. Yes! bit of a Get Out Of jail Free card
:55:26. > :55:31.for Jason Kenny. It is unlikely he would have launched a complaint.
:55:31. > :55:41.L Douglas is trackside. Hadleigh you can tell us more. -- Jill
:55:41. > :55:42.
:55:42. > :55:47.Douglas. Hopefully. Yes, as soon as the race finished, the judges were
:55:47. > :55:52.looking out their iPads. They were looking very closely. Two laps out
:55:52. > :55:56.they felt that the Frenchman came down into Jason at full speed and
:55:56. > :56:05.into the with him. They thought that later in the race one of the
:56:05. > :56:09.Australians do the same but as a result, we saw the head judge
:56:09. > :56:12.walked down to the French tent and we saw the reaction from there, and
:56:12. > :56:17.then the thumbs-up was given to Jason and he realised he would get
:56:18. > :56:25.a chance to raise in the final. Great news for Jason, he is
:56:25. > :56:29.delighted, but heart for the French rider. Thank you.
:56:29. > :56:36.Good news and therefore Jason Kenny. We will see him in the final later
:56:36. > :56:46.on the red button. In a week's time, there will be some viewing from
:56:46. > :56:51.
:56:51. > :57:01.COMMENTATOR: Air, yes! Christie takes the gold. Marriage (Same Sex
:57:01. > :57:02.
:57:02. > :57:10.Couples) Bill storms through... -- Murray storms through... Jason
:57:10. > :57:14.gardener is the champion! European Indoor Championships live from
:57:14. > :57:18.Gothenburg, that starts next Friday, through the weekend. Lots of
:57:19. > :57:23.chances there for the British team. Another look at that keirin and
:57:23. > :57:29.let's see if we can see exactly what happened for the Frenchman. He
:57:29. > :57:34.came down on top of Jason here and just cut him off. Your impressions
:57:34. > :57:38.watching that again? I think it is the wrong camera angles for us
:57:38. > :57:43.really to see what happened there. The judges had a better view of
:57:43. > :57:49.what was happening. It is a shame because if he had just spent a
:57:49. > :57:54.moment longer he would have been clear that he made the decision and
:57:54. > :57:58.just cut in on a rider which is not allowed. It somebody cuts across
:57:58. > :58:04.you you lose your momentum and it is hard to bring it back again?
:58:04. > :58:09.and I think part of his tactic was waiting for the Frenchman to come
:58:09. > :58:15.across but the Frenchman obviously felt he was going to expend too
:58:15. > :58:25.much energy during that because Kenny had its act -- had stepped on
:58:25. > :58:25.
:58:25. > :58:29.the gas a little bit. interesting thing that Jill Douglas
:58:29. > :58:34.mentioned there was that the British team cannot appeal. It is
:58:34. > :58:43.down to the judges. That seems like a slightly strange way of doing the
:58:43. > :58:49.rules. You do not have to talk to me about that! They have the final
:58:49. > :58:53.decision and the decision is final. All the teams keep a close eye and
:58:53. > :58:58.what is happening just in case there is a chance to appeal, and
:58:58. > :59:03.they will be studying it quite close there. This is the French
:59:03. > :59:09.athlete being shown his disqualification. I think that is
:59:09. > :59:15.his team? That is his coach. they have a right of appeal now all
:59:16. > :59:19.is the decision final? It is usually final. That is interesting
:59:19. > :59:27.because within athletics, and when you are sitting there commentating
:59:27. > :59:32.on something which happens within a race, I think you have to pay $100
:59:32. > :59:36.or something to the judges, and you can say, we want to lodge an appeal
:59:36. > :59:41.against a particular athlete. I wonder why they do not have that in
:59:41. > :59:46.cycling, because clearly you are perhaps going to watch your athlete
:59:46. > :59:50.more closely. They used to have a system like that way you have to
:59:50. > :59:54.pay something and they did a wave with it a few years ago, probably
:59:54. > :59:59.because they were inundated with appeals. Probably the improvement
:59:59. > :00:03.in technology and people being able to have their own performance
:00:03. > :00:08.analysts videoing everything from every angle. Perhaps it was too
:00:08. > :00:12.much information coming back. have mentioned if you have fallen
:00:12. > :00:17.foul of what you feel is an illegal move and its it has not been seen,
:00:17. > :00:21.you have no recourse to what she feels justice. Now. And sometimes
:00:21. > :00:25.they will fall in your favour, their decisions, and other times
:00:25. > :00:29.they will not. So as long as they are trying to be as fair as
:00:29. > :00:34.possible you just have to live with it. You are allowed to bring it to
:00:34. > :00:39.the judges' attention and the few have video evidence, you can ask
:00:39. > :00:45.for them to watch over a portion of the race again, so there is an
:00:45. > :00:48.informal process, I suppose. J son Kenny will be in the final a little
:00:48. > :00:58.better on the red button and tomorrow we have the semifinals and
:00:58. > :01:09.
:01:09. > :01:14.finals of the women's sprint. Becky performance today? I am really
:01:15. > :01:17.happy and I did not expect to happy and I did not expect to
:01:17. > :01:23.qualify. Getting a 10, 9 was a dream come true and I am looking
:01:23. > :01:30.forward to it. Really positive sprinting as well. You have got the
:01:30. > :01:36.speed, but great tactical sprinting as well. I have shared my form and
:01:36. > :01:39.it has given me a bit of confidence going into the race. It has really
:01:39. > :01:45.helped and Mike coach has been talking about tactics beforehand
:01:45. > :01:54.which has been great. Sprinting is about experience. It's so you come
:01:54. > :01:57.here as one of the less experienced competitors. -- you come here.
:01:57. > :02:03.Getting through to the top eight is massive for me and I am very
:02:03. > :02:08.pleased. I will not be scared but I am looking forward to tomorrow.
:02:08. > :02:18.you think you will get up on that podium? I am just going to take it
:02:18. > :02:24.as it comes. At best of luck. has got two medals already. Are you
:02:24. > :02:29.surprised by her? Absolutely not. She has had some trouble with
:02:29. > :02:33.injury and illness as Chris mentioned. But before that you
:02:33. > :02:39.could see she has got a lot of talent and she is progressing
:02:39. > :02:45.rapidly. The only thing probably holding her back was team numbers.
:02:45. > :02:51.It was not that she was not good enough. It is great she has had an
:02:51. > :03:01.opportunity and she deserves to be there. We are going back to Minsk
:03:01. > :03:11.
:03:11. > :03:16.not missed very much. We have got a small matter of 157 laps left. The
:03:16. > :03:23.rider from Uzbekistan is at the front at the moment. Bladder neck,
:03:23. > :03:32.the points raised champion from a few years ago. -- the points race
:03:32. > :03:38.champion. Wojciech Pszczolarski has been doing well on the track. He is
:03:38. > :03:44.trying to gain an early lap. In second place and he nearly had his
:03:44. > :03:49.front wheel taken away from the rider from Belarus. In it is not a
:03:50. > :03:55.bad move. He is trying to ease into the race. There is an opportunity
:03:56. > :04:05.for people to get out and make it difficult. We have still got four
:04:06. > :04:08.
:04:08. > :04:18.laps before the first sprint. That will be a 20. Game. -- 20 point
:04:18. > :04:19.
:04:19. > :04:29.game. Points are on offer every 10 laps throughout. And after 20, you
:04:29. > :04:38.
:04:38. > :04:48.can take and Louise points. -- lose dangerous. The rider from Belarus
:04:48. > :04:48.
:04:49. > :04:54.is in that front group with the French rider, Thomas be damned. And
:04:54. > :05:01.the Kazakhstan rider. Doing a little turn on the front and moving
:05:01. > :05:09.back towards the back of the field. Letting us know that we are on the
:05:09. > :05:16.sprint lap, the first of the race. Taking the first five points after
:05:16. > :05:26.10 laps. Getting very animated with that rider from Belarus. I think he
:05:26. > :05:27.
:05:27. > :05:33.was its for second place. And the Frenchman has got one. Points on
:05:34. > :05:37.the board. They have really woken up. Gaps are still there but they
:05:38. > :05:44.are slowly closing. They are being very careful with energy
:05:44. > :05:48.expenditure and we can see that it is going to deep and two hearts now.
:05:48. > :05:55.As soon as there is a counter attack they will be on the back
:05:55. > :06:02.foot. Wojciech Pszczolarski being caught there. Still looking lively
:06:03. > :06:08.and in a good position. Quite well placed, the winner of the bronze
:06:08. > :06:15.medal in the individual pursuit. Counter-attack has started
:06:15. > :06:24.immediately. The first person to put his nose out in front.
:06:24. > :06:29.Spanish rider, 30 years of age, won de points race a few years ago. And
:06:29. > :06:37.striking out at the moment to try and gain ground. Australia working
:06:37. > :06:44.hard to chase and try and get level with the Spanish. Alex Edmundson,
:06:44. > :06:48.the gold medallist in the team pursuit. A very accomplished rider.
:06:48. > :06:53.Kenny De Ketele in pale blue from Belgium is up at the top of the
:06:53. > :06:59.track at the moment. He is just going past. Kenny De Ketele took
:06:59. > :07:09.bronze last year but he is currently the world madison
:07:09. > :07:14.champion. A prominent champion. normally... It does not normally
:07:14. > :07:21.happen in the first 40 laps. But they are coming thick and fast. I
:07:21. > :07:27.have a feeling it will be decided by some of these gains. We are 2.5
:07:27. > :07:33.away from the next sprint. The second of this race. The Spanish
:07:33. > :07:42.are leading the way at the moment and the chase his arm. The Italian
:07:42. > :07:47.bronze medallist last year is in the lime green crash helmet. Alex
:07:47. > :07:53.Edmundson is also there and the Italian rider has joined them. That
:07:53. > :07:57.is the leading four and they will contest the points at the next lap.
:07:57. > :08:07.A powerful four at the moment. Will a contest or get a working group
:08:07. > :08:14.going? -- will they be contesting all get a working group going?
:08:14. > :08:19.the Indian is being overtaken by everybody at the moment. Alex
:08:19. > :08:26.Edmondson is taking it well. Straight back into formation here
:08:26. > :08:34.and they are trying to work around and paying a bit of a price with
:08:34. > :08:43.fractures appearing in the small group. That is easy for you to say
:08:43. > :08:49.bute just tucking in -- for you to say... Just coming through at the
:08:49. > :08:54.moment. The Italian champion there has done his little turned. Working
:08:54. > :09:00.quite well together. We have not talked about Simon Yates. 20 years
:09:00. > :09:07.of age and another young rider from the British squad. Another valuable
:09:08. > :09:17.experience for him. Certainly at the Member for him. It -- at the
:09:18. > :09:18.
:09:18. > :09:22.moment for hemp. He -- at the moment for him. We will see if this
:09:22. > :09:27.group of four comes back. It is a very good working group, fully
:09:27. > :09:33.committed. They have not got much of a gap but they are keeping it
:09:33. > :09:39.very consistent. It will not be easy for people to capitalise. They
:09:39. > :09:46.will have a little bit more leverage and distance. He is riding
:09:46. > :09:51.on the road had not on the track. This is not officially be Junior
:09:51. > :09:56.Tour De France but that is pretty much how it is perceived. It is
:09:56. > :10:01.popular for young talent coming through. And he made the British
:10:01. > :10:06.tour last year as well. A former world junior champion in the
:10:06. > :10:10.madison. He has done well at junior level but here he is on the biggest
:10:10. > :10:18.stage of all, the world championships at senior and elite
:10:18. > :10:23.level. I do not think we will have this 40 much longer. They are
:10:23. > :10:29.slowly grabbing a few more leases. Constant pressure behind is
:10:29. > :10:39.starting to cause fractures. Swiss has got great form, leading
:10:39. > :10:40.
:10:40. > :10:45.the chase. And a world points bronze winner. Closing in on the
:10:45. > :10:50.leaders. This is the third sprint lap of the competition. Going again
:10:50. > :10:55.but he will not have it all his own way this time. Kenny De Ketele from
:10:55. > :11:05.Belgium will take the five would quarrel. The Italian his second and
:11:05. > :11:06.
:11:06. > :11:11.Alex Edmondson I think his third. - - the five points. The overall
:11:11. > :11:16.situation, Alex Edmundson and Kenny De Ketele are both on seven at the
:11:16. > :11:25.top of the leaderboard. Wojciech Pszczolarski has still got five in
:11:25. > :11:29.third place. He took five at the first sprint. This is dangerous as
:11:29. > :11:35.they are swinging across. They are doing well, rolling off the front
:11:35. > :11:40.and leading out. He certainly likes a hard race. Swinging in that group
:11:40. > :11:47.of four and rolling off the front yet again. Confirmation of the
:11:47. > :11:53.official standings... On his own at the front of the race. From the
:11:53. > :11:59.Czech Republic. At the front of the peloton. I think they are having a
:11:59. > :12:05.little rest. It is a bit slower but now it is just cranking up once
:12:05. > :12:11.again. And it is the Russian world junior bronze medallist in this
:12:11. > :12:17.event from three years ago... just trying to get going. Desperate
:12:17. > :12:22.to get into that breakaway and now he has got an opportunity. He is
:12:22. > :12:28.driving away and he has got himself in a better position. Eight-night
:12:28. > :12:33.potential group of four here. He will do well to try and get into it.
:12:33. > :12:38.He has worked very hard for this long in the race. He looks like he
:12:38. > :12:43.has got very good legs. We are looking at the Russian at the
:12:43. > :12:53.moment, second in London at the World Cup in the points. That was
:12:53. > :13:02.at the Olympic Velodrome. Macro 4 laps until the next sprint. In the
:13:02. > :13:07.navy blue, the Frenchman. Coming in dribs and drabs. I think it is too
:13:07. > :13:12.big to succeed. The rider at the front in the pale blue and yellow
:13:12. > :13:17.from Kazakhstan, another young rider in this race aged 22 and he
:13:17. > :13:23.does not have many major international results of late but
:13:23. > :13:31.he is an amazing this final. He is getting -- The is lighting up his
:13:31. > :13:37.final. He has got back on terms. A dangerous stage in the race again
:13:37. > :13:42.as they come back together. A lot of rolling on the bottom. After
:13:42. > :13:46.they are swinging back after this next sprint, we might see an attack.
:13:46. > :13:50.The television director has not given us many sightings of Simon
:13:50. > :13:59.Yates but he is back on the far side of that main track. Coming
:13:59. > :14:06.back strongly for Germany. He was looking very good there. What a
:14:06. > :14:15.great name. We have got a rider from Austria hitting the front at
:14:15. > :14:21.the moment. And Kenny De Ketele is working hard for the rest of the
:14:21. > :14:31.points. The Italian has got two and Kenny De Ketele, one. Confirmation
:14:31. > :14:32.
:14:32. > :14:39.of that. 118 laps remaining at it has been very tough. It will
:14:39. > :14:45.certainly Fracture soon. They surely cannot keep this up.
:14:45. > :14:51.laps left. And Andreas from Austria is leaving it at the moment. It
:14:51. > :14:57.will be someone like Andreas Graf because he is a long-distance rider
:14:57. > :15:07.and this will go on and on. He is trying to gain a lap at the moment.
:15:07. > :15:22.
:15:22. > :15:27.He has not quite got the length of a little rest and let a little
:15:27. > :15:33.break away ago, as we have seen go in front of this year, and hope it
:15:33. > :15:41.comes back, because he cannot chase everything. If you have just tuned
:15:41. > :15:48.in, this is the points race Final in the men's championship. It is
:15:48. > :15:55.Andreas Graf, the 27 you are from Austria. The chase is not too hard
:15:55. > :16:02.at the moment. They have just ease off a little. Our fantastic rider,
:16:02. > :16:08.to stay out front all alone. He has just very quietly been cracking on
:16:09. > :16:13.with it. Yes, and the main pack just sit up their little bit. There
:16:14. > :16:18.was not any pressure on the front there. The riders from Poland who
:16:18. > :16:26.made an early breakaway, is now in second place on the track but the
:16:26. > :16:31.way it is going, is as if Andreas Graf has a more than even chance of
:16:31. > :16:37.gaining a lap here. He will certainly get some points, with
:16:37. > :16:43.just one lap to go until the next sprint. But you could be right. It
:16:43. > :16:47.is an awful long way to go on your own. We saw yesterday at ten metres
:16:47. > :16:52.can be a long distance to close when you have been at their long
:16:52. > :16:58.time. If they take another breather... It is an enormous
:16:58. > :17:06.effort he's making, Andreas Graf, but he does take the phrase points
:17:06. > :17:14.there. The three points were taken by the Danish rider, the Italian
:17:14. > :17:22.gets the two and the Frenchman gets one. If Yates is having an attack
:17:22. > :17:27.now, for Great Britain... I think it is the host rideout from Belarus
:17:27. > :17:37.who has gone with him, but great to see Simon Yates from Great Britain
:17:37. > :17:42.
:17:42. > :17:52.showing his face at the front here fact that there are over 100 laps
:17:52. > :18:09.
:18:09. > :18:15.to go in this race shows you that The movie star writer. Back on the
:18:15. > :18:21.front. He has been very active. It is a balancing act because no
:18:21. > :18:24.matter how good you are, you only have so much petrol in the tank.
:18:24. > :18:30.Absolutely will stop that is the case. You have to measure your
:18:30. > :18:40.effort. There is no point in being involved in everything that does
:18:40. > :18:46.
:18:46. > :18:54.not succeed. The German momentarily on the front. The Czech rider, what
:18:54. > :19:01.an experienced person he is. Now he tries to open up a little gap. The
:19:01. > :19:06.Czech, the world points race gold medallist from 2010. They are
:19:06. > :19:10.taking a little braver. Everyone is starting to feel the pressure.
:19:10. > :19:16.are all having a little look at each other as they decide who is
:19:16. > :19:26.going to take the chase. Jack is not going to hand around to see who
:19:26. > :19:36.
:19:36. > :19:43.chasing our Edmondson from Australia and the Swiss cyclist.
:19:43. > :19:47.They are second on the track at the moment. Simon Yates they're trying
:19:47. > :19:53.to make a move. He is on the right. Gaining ground on the Australian
:19:53. > :19:59.and the Swiss rider. He is suddenly Bering like a train. He went
:19:59. > :20:06.straight past them. That was a great little move. If they can keep
:20:06. > :20:11.the pressure on that is a very solid group of four. Not much of an
:20:11. > :20:17.advantage, just 20 metres at the moment. No, Edmonds and has decided
:20:17. > :20:21.it is not the time yet. Simon Yates there on the board with three
:20:21. > :20:26.points Macros. Great to see him playing a role in this World
:20:26. > :20:36.Championship in the men's points event. Confirmation as he crossed
:20:36. > :20:36.
:20:36. > :20:46.the line there for the three points. Alex Edmondson of Australia leading
:20:46. > :20:55.
:20:55. > :21:01.cross to the group of three but I do not think any of it is going to
:21:01. > :21:07.succeed much longer. There is Yates again, in their place at the moment.
:21:07. > :21:13.Just going through. Quite a clever game, actually. He is certainly
:21:13. > :21:17.Boiling to do his share when it looks at there is an opportunity --
:21:17. > :21:27.are willing to do the share. Says our he has not had to do too much
:21:27. > :21:33.
:21:33. > :21:38.to put himself in the position he's in. Intelligent riding. -- so far.
:21:38. > :21:46.If there is a counter attack you want to have some energy to go with
:21:46. > :21:51.it. Four laps to go to the next sprint. Simon Yates from Great
:21:51. > :21:56.Britain, 20, is in this leading group of five. That is the Swiss
:21:56. > :22:03.cyclist leading. Yates is now on the front. The Spanish cyclist is
:22:03. > :22:13.right on his wheel. The Czech cyclist than and the Russian rider
:22:13. > :22:13.
:22:13. > :22:23.in their place at the moment. are just slowly grabbing each lap
:22:23. > :22:32.come around. This group par-5 is working now. Behind there has been
:22:32. > :22:37.some big chases. -- this group of five. Simon Yates leading the way
:22:37. > :22:45.here in the men's points race Final on the track. Three points on the
:22:45. > :22:50.board for him. Not in the medal positions but very much in the race.
:22:50. > :22:57.The Russian is coming around the outside. Three points and therefore
:22:57. > :23:06.Simon Yates again. He is now joint fourth on six points. Suddenly he's
:23:06. > :23:09.in this race and riding well. one of four riders on six points.
:23:09. > :23:15.Suddenly they have got well over half a lap and they have the chance
:23:15. > :23:25.of gaining her lap and back would you these five riders 20 points.
:23:25. > :23:27.
:23:27. > :23:30.This is the time to try to make the names who have missed out on this
:23:30. > :23:35.move. I did not think it was going to work. They were not far enough
:23:35. > :23:39.away and there was plenty of activity behind but they have
:23:39. > :23:45.enough road to work with. It will be difficult for them to get back
:23:45. > :23:55.on terms that. But some of the others spotted the danger. Ciccone,
:23:55. > :23:59.
:23:59. > :24:05.Edmonds and was trying to get a way. They are riding hard behind at
:24:05. > :24:08.the moment but I have enough elastic, enough room to just absorb
:24:08. > :24:17.these surges of speed behind until it breaks into a small working
:24:18. > :24:23.group behind. Sure enough, the grip behind, they are saying, we are not
:24:23. > :24:31.going to you all this work for you. This is not great for Edmondson
:24:31. > :24:36.from Australia who leaves at the -- Leeds at the moment. Getting closer
:24:36. > :24:42.and closer Camara leading group of five said. They are going to
:24:42. > :24:48.concede the lap. It does look that way, and it looks like they are
:24:48. > :24:54.resigned to that fate. There is no real place. Here come the leading
:24:54. > :24:59.group who are actually drawing on the back of them surely. Simon
:24:59. > :25:03.Yates did a fantastic job. He got himself into the move Kohlert
:25:03. > :25:10.contributed, went for the sprint as well. So a fantastic debut
:25:10. > :25:19.performance from him. It is quite a war of attrition, the points race.
:25:19. > :25:23.Just looking at it now, with the lap having been gained, we have a
:25:23. > :25:33.new leaders. Simon Yates from Great Britain is the joint leader of the
:25:33. > :25:33.
:25:33. > :26:20.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds
:26:20. > :26:28.not alone to regain -- to go on number eight. -- takes the five.
:26:28. > :26:32.This race really has not eased off at all, from the gun. Those two
:26:32. > :26:40.points and for the Czech cyclist means he is the sole leader of the
:26:40. > :26:48.points race at the moment. He leads them away. Two points clear air of
:26:48. > :26:54.the Spanish cyclist. Just three points separating the top four so
:26:54. > :26:59.it really is going to go down to the wire. Our friend from Austria
:26:59. > :27:05.once again, Andreas Graf, has just got his breath back after the last
:27:05. > :27:10.few laps, having been very active early on. And Andreas Graf is
:27:10. > :27:20.trying once again, and the Swiss cyclist is leading the chase. There
:27:20. > :27:27.
:27:27. > :27:37.that lap, he is a real danger rider here. The others need to get on top
:27:37. > :27:37.
:27:37. > :27:45.of this quickly. They have given him a lot of rope. He was acting --
:27:45. > :27:53.Barry active through the start of the race. -- a very active.
:27:53. > :27:58.three of them are trying to regain the lap. 74 laps to go.
:27:58. > :28:02.Frenchman is going to get across. Not a danger man that he will
:28:02. > :28:12.contribute to the pacemaking so he will be a welcome companion as they
:28:12. > :28:50.
:28:50. > :28:56.little chasing group. -- Yates ears. And here we are on the sprint lap
:28:56. > :29:06.now. The Frenchman is leading the way. In towards the finish they
:29:06. > :29:07.
:29:07. > :29:12.come. I do not think the Australian really at the legs to get his wheel
:29:12. > :29:19.in front. Yet again, the cyclist from Kazakhstan was riding on his
:29:19. > :29:25.wheel. I think this is the moment when this race is going to be won.
:29:25. > :29:31.A lot of tired legs in there at the moment. The race is just about
:29:31. > :29:36.still hanging together and now the opportunity is ripe for somebody to
:29:36. > :29:42.try to take an opportunity. Simon Yates is looking pretty strong. He
:29:42. > :29:50.is in the middle of the pack. He at the moment he's in the silver-medal
:29:50. > :29:54.position, alongside the Spanish cyclist. The Spaniard attacks again.
:29:54. > :30:04.He knows there is not much in it and he really is in the shake-up
:30:04. > :30:15.
:30:15. > :30:20.and they are slugging away. It is about who suffers the most. They
:30:20. > :30:25.are smarting from not being part of the group that made that 20.
:30:25. > :30:31.Chloral but we have got time left. Andreas Graf looks very strong but
:30:31. > :30:38.I am not sure if he has got that it burst of pace to gain the lap. He
:30:38. > :30:42.looks a bit more diesel. Another diesel rider Bath two of them are
:30:42. > :30:47.together and if they stay at the top for a few more seconds, I do
:30:47. > :30:52.not think they will see them again. They are grafting and they have
:30:52. > :31:00.been hard at it through this race. They are probably the best at
:31:00. > :31:04.slogging. Wojciech Pszczolarski is leading that. You can tell speed
:31:04. > :31:08.has increased because they are strung out at the bottom of the
:31:09. > :31:16.track and they are really going for it, sitting at the front of their
:31:16. > :31:20.saddles. These are the leaders. Andreas Graf is the leader but this
:31:20. > :31:29.being a points race it does not mean that he is among the leaders
:31:29. > :31:34.overall. Milan Kadlec is leading overall. Simon Yates is joint
:31:34. > :31:39.second. They are in a fantastic position. This is where he wanted
:31:40. > :31:44.to be, out in front with this company. They will almost certainly
:31:45. > :31:53.take this next sprint. They have got a good lead but whether they
:31:53. > :32:00.can get the lap is another thing. Leading the chase in third place.
:32:00. > :32:07.And riding their, the rider from Belarus trying to get on the coat-
:32:07. > :32:11.tails of the leaders. Riders are being laps left, right and centre.
:32:11. > :32:19.A blistering attack to bridge the gap a bit earlier but he could not
:32:19. > :32:24.quite do it this time. And he is paying 40 effort. He will drop back.
:32:24. > :32:34.We have got two leading three and that I think will constitute
:32:34. > :32:42.
:32:42. > :32:46.another game. -- gain. He took a three bear. Milan Kadlec is on 28.
:32:46. > :32:52.It is all or nothing for the Spanish rider here. If it does not
:32:52. > :32:57.work out here, I do not think he will have anything left. He is not
:32:57. > :33:03.the best sprinter but he is courageous and working hard. He has
:33:03. > :33:11.pushed harder I think than anybody else so far. And behind it is
:33:11. > :33:20.breaking up. We have to give Andreas Graf all the credits in the
:33:20. > :33:24.end because he is not giving up. -- all the credit in the world. Simon
:33:25. > :33:31.Yates is down in 4th place in the standings. And the Russian is up
:33:31. > :33:39.into the bronze position. They need to form an alliance because the two
:33:39. > :33:45.in France have got rhythm. They are pushing with maximum pace. -- in
:33:45. > :33:54.front. They will probably eventually bridge that gap with
:33:55. > :34:03.weight of numbers. Coming round yet again. Second on the track, the
:34:03. > :34:07.Spanish rider is the leader and in the Gold medal position. He keeps
:34:07. > :34:12.trying to bridge the gap. It is not the right thing to do because it
:34:12. > :34:18.stops the others are working with you. He cannot deliver on his own.
:34:18. > :34:25.He has to wait and people will not want to work with him any more.
:34:25. > :34:28.Russian rider... He is just 21. It is perhaps not surprising he is in
:34:29. > :34:35.the thick of the action after winning in Beijing at the World Cup
:34:35. > :34:41.meeting last year. He has got previous. Closing the gap at last.
:34:41. > :34:46.It took a long time but will they work together, all will be a fight
:34:46. > :34:55.among themselves? The answer to that question will probably be what
:34:55. > :35:00.decides this race. Swinging off the track. A wasted opportunity. He can
:35:00. > :35:10.see that opportunity was slipping away if. And Andreas Graf joins him
:35:10. > :35:19.at the front. Andreas Graf takes the points. The Spanish rider takes
:35:19. > :35:29.three and the East West takes one. -- v Switzerland rider takes one.
:35:29. > :35:29.
:35:29. > :35:35.It is very tough. They have been joined by the French manner. He has
:35:35. > :35:43.-- the Frenchman. They had an opportunity to work together but it
:35:43. > :35:50.has been thrown away now. As they are heading inside the last 50...
:35:50. > :35:56.Thomas from France is on the front. Stefan with the all right -- white
:35:56. > :36:03.cross on his back... Simon Yates taking the lead for Great Britain.
:36:03. > :36:10.And straight on his tail, the competitor from Kazakhstan. At he
:36:10. > :36:17.has got a real opportunity now. All of the main riders, the favourites
:36:17. > :36:26.have been working very hard to try and get away and pull it back. They
:36:26. > :36:33.are on the back for it. Simon Yates has got an opportunity all-star --.
:36:33. > :36:39.Three together, pulling away. Can he make something of it? It is
:36:39. > :36:48.fascinating. Simon Yates is in 5th overall. Just one outside the
:36:48. > :36:54.medals. We will have to leave BBC Two but switch to the red button,
:36:54. > :36:58.where you can watch the entire race. You can see how this closed out and
:36:58. > :37:07.how Simon Yates stars in the end but at the moment he is very much
:37:07. > :37:14.in the reckoning. The German is in the front. A gap in second place.
:37:15. > :37:22.Any battle in the blue for Belgium. Any air -- Kenny De Ketele in the
:37:22. > :37:28.blue for Belgium. They missed that move a few moments ago and are
:37:28. > :37:36.smarting from that and determined to get themselves back. Some
:37:36. > :37:44.attacking starting. Lolling around the top. Everybody is taking a
:37:44. > :37:50.little rest. That sprint is coming. It will naturally get quicker in
:37:50. > :38:00.the next lap. Kenny De Ketele in front. Alex Edmundson is about
:38:00. > :38:02.
:38:02. > :38:07.faith. -- Fifth. And the German has collected points. When it has come
:38:07. > :38:17.down to wait straight sprint he has clearly been at the fastest. -- a
:38:17. > :38:29.
:38:29. > :38:39.point cost up he is joint third. -- false stop he is joint third. --.
:38:39. > :38:40.
:38:40. > :38:47.He is joint third. When there has been a serious move... He knows
:38:47. > :38:56.when to expend energy and went to take a risk. Just seeing how it
:38:56. > :39:03.unfolds. The Spanish rider, it is still very close. Milan Kadlec is
:39:03. > :39:13.still in silver. Simon Yates is also on 27 but it was not on the
:39:13. > :39:23.caption. Four separating the top five. It is very close. While
:39:23. > :39:23.
:39:23. > :39:27.inside the final 40. Making the move for Denmark. That is a good
:39:27. > :39:37.and solid attack. We have not had any reaction at the moment around
:39:37. > :39:37.
:39:37. > :39:47.the top. And Andreas Graf has gone after him. He has got that engine
:39:47. > :39:57.going. He took silver at European level last November. He likes all
:39:57. > :39:58.
:39:59. > :40:04.manner of disciplines on the track. It is an old school raised. And he
:40:04. > :40:10.has decided it is not going to work. Just coming off the top of the
:40:11. > :40:15.banking, Simon Yates. The British rider. He is trying to get more
:40:15. > :40:20.involved and he has seen an opportunity for a medal. But he
:40:21. > :40:26.cannot do everything. He is trying to stay out of sight and out of
:40:26. > :40:32.mind and close to the back of the group. It has been going for almost
:40:32. > :40:40.40 minutes flat out. We are going to have to leave in the next few
:40:40. > :40:50.minutes. But you can watch the rest of it live on bread buttered. --
:40:50. > :40:51.
:40:51. > :40:57.red button. And it is getting very interesting. Quite a bit of a gap.
:40:57. > :41:02.Rolling around the bottom at the moment and more and more daylight.
:41:02. > :41:09.He is going to take the next sprint. And somehow he had to get off the
:41:09. > :41:18.track. I do not think that was his fault. He has raised his arms and
:41:18. > :41:26.acknowledged. Heading towards five points. Just eight on the board and
:41:26. > :41:31.it will not affect the top of the leaderboard. He had a second wind.
:41:31. > :41:38.Taking second place and that could be very important for him.
:41:38. > :41:45.mistake in the five points. The Spanish rider has taken three and
:41:45. > :41:53.Kenny De Ketele from Belgium has claimed one. Simon Yates just
:41:53. > :41:59.outside on that particular occasion. Confirmation of the latest sprint...
:41:59. > :42:07.And in terms of the medal standings... Alex Edwards and his
:42:07. > :42:14.get involved -- Alex Edmundson is getting involved again and I do not
:42:14. > :42:18.think he will be allowed to get away with it. According to our
:42:18. > :42:28.information, Simon Yates is still on 27 and in joint third and in
:42:28. > :42:32.
:42:32. > :42:42.bronze position. 26.5 laps left. Angelo from Italy, the current
:42:42. > :42:43.
:42:43. > :42:48.Italian omnium champion. The German competitor chasing hard. That is a
:42:48. > :42:58.hard working quality three. They have got one quarter of a lap
:42:58. > :43:00.
:43:00. > :43:05.already. Andreas Graf is sixth on 18 points. He is at the back of the
:43:05. > :43:11.bunch and looking across the track. He has had difficulty and he will
:43:11. > :43:19.try and chase it down but he has got a long way to close out. Four
:43:19. > :43:28.laps left before the next sprint. Andreas Graf out in front. He has
:43:28. > :43:38.got through a lot of work. He does not lack for work ethic. This is a
:43:38. > :43:39.
:43:40. > :43:46.dangerous move. We apologise but we will have to leave early but you
:43:46. > :43:54.can watch the conclusion on the red button. Jason Kenny is going well.
