Good afternoon. Welcome to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. 22,000

:00:35.:00:43.

people have been through the doors here at the Vale drome. This is what

:00:44.:00:52.

they've come to see today. Very shortly we will see the women's

:00:53.:01:00.

semifinals. Then we will see Jason Kenny in the men's keirin 2nd round.

:01:01.:01:04.

His fiancee Laura Trott shortly after that in the final race of the

:01:05.:01:12.

women's omnium. She leads the points standings. Hopefully, Jason Kenny in

:01:13.:01:15.

the men's keirin final but everything could happen. Finally,

:01:16.:01:21.

the men's Madison with Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish joining

:01:22.:01:29.

forces are probably for the 1st time. I'm joined by Sir Chris Hoy

:01:30.:01:34.

and Dame Sarah Storey. We're starting with the man who filled

:01:35.:01:40.

your shoes as the king of British sprinting. Jason Kenny was through

:01:41.:01:45.

to the best of 3 final. Simon Brotherton and Chris Boardman can

:01:46.:01:48.

tell is exactly what happened. COMMENTATOR: What a battle this

:01:49.:02:09.

promises to be. This will come down to tactics. Both have shown

:02:10.:02:12.

themselves to be the strongest sprinters here. The right riders in

:02:13.:02:19.

this final, for sure. Jason Kenny looking to be the world sprint

:02:20.:02:23.

champion for a 2nd time in his career. A 3rd rainbow jersey for

:02:24.:02:34.

him. Best of 3 final. Glaetzer 23 years of age from Adelaide. A rider

:02:35.:02:43.

on the way up. He has beaten 2 world champions to get here, including the

:02:44.:02:54.

defending champion from France. He is accelerating, trying to make it

:02:55.:03:01.

look like he isn't. He nearly tempted Kenny to coincide and

:03:02.:03:05.

stalled him. They take the bell and Kenny goes up the banking. Can Kenny

:03:06.:03:12.

close the gap down the back straight road on by the London crowd. On the

:03:13.:03:20.

line. I think the Australian just gets it on the line. Glaetzer has

:03:21.:03:27.

been excellent in this series of races. The pressure is on him

:03:28.:03:33.

because he is so close to the gold medal. Here we go. The sprint is on.

:03:34.:03:41.

They take the bell. Next time over the line, fighting for 1st position.

:03:42.:03:47.

Glaetzer on the outside of Kenny. Kenny is digging really deep. It is

:03:48.:03:53.

on for the Australian. But what a run from Jason Kenny! He is still

:03:54.:03:58.

alive in this final. It will go to the wire. The World Championship

:03:59.:04:06.

final goes to a decider. Great Britain against Australia. Jason

:04:07.:04:13.

Kenny, the Olympic champion against Matthew Glaetzer will lead on this

:04:14.:04:17.

opening lap. He is not short of support. We talked about the power

:04:18.:04:26.

needed for the sprint finish. Jason Kenny has power to wait for that

:04:27.:04:31.

superb acceleration that Glaetzer kept him pinned with in that superb

:04:32.:04:37.

previous round. They are going at a fair old lick. They both want to get

:04:38.:04:42.

this 1 under way. Glaetzer did well when he led in the previous round.

:04:43.:04:48.

He might see himself as having an advantage, if he can stop Kenny from

:04:49.:04:53.

gaining the front position. Riding with the Australian here. Jason

:04:54.:05:00.

Kenny keeping him in close proximity. They are not hanging

:05:01.:05:05.

around. A lap and a half to go. They want to get it over with. Different

:05:06.:05:10.

tactics. Glazer will lead from the front. Jason Kenny looks to get the

:05:11.:05:16.

advantage of going up but he has a lot of work to do. Into the back

:05:17.:05:21.

straight. Can Jason Kenny claw the gap back. Into the finishing

:05:22.:05:25.

straight they go. Jason Kenny is going to do it! He is the champion

:05:26.:05:31.

of the world. For the 3rd time in his career. His 2nd world sprint

:05:32.:05:39.

crown. The Olympic champion is back where he likes racing best. At the

:05:40.:05:49.

Velodrome in London. Gold for Jason Kenny and he did it the hard way.

:05:50.:05:56.

That was much sprinting at its absolute best. STUDIO: Jason Kenny

:05:57.:06:05.

absolutely elated as you would expect. His fiancee Laura Trott. A

:06:06.:06:12.

funny little wink between them. After that, I'm afraid he was sick

:06:13.:06:16.

into a bucket because of the effort it had taken out of him! How big an

:06:17.:06:22.

achievement is that? As big as anything he has achieved so far.

:06:23.:06:28.

Definitely up there with his Olympic performance in 2012. So great to see

:06:29.:06:33.

him back on form. People were mystified why he cannot reproduce

:06:34.:06:39.

this form year after year. Form is elusive. Whatever has happened, in

:06:40.:06:44.

his head, he has got himself together. You see what it meant to

:06:45.:06:48.

him as he crossed the line. He is a calm guy who doesn't give away a lot

:06:49.:06:52.

usually but you can see what it meant to him. Sarah, important

:06:53.:07:00.

timing in an Olympic year. Definitely. You can't get better

:07:01.:07:07.

timing than that. We are going to the women's sprint semifinals. This

:07:08.:07:13.

will be cat and mouse. COMMENTATOR: Hello, everyone. We are about to go

:07:14.:07:19.

with this 1st semifinal in the women's sprint. 1 of the all-time

:07:20.:07:22.

greats in the white with the greenhouse it. Anna Meares, the

:07:23.:07:34.

Olympic champion who beat the British contender in the Olympics.

:07:35.:07:47.

She has had some time out of the sport. She looked as though she was

:07:48.:07:52.

heading for retirement. Thinking about life after cycling. She

:07:53.:07:57.

realised she was still enjoying it. Straight back in at the top level as

:07:58.:08:04.

we would expect. It is a 3 lap race, the best of 3 semifinal. The Chinese

:08:05.:08:11.

rider will lead off on the opening half lap. Jun Hong Lin showed good

:08:12.:08:27.

form in the World Cup meeting. Meares took time out after the

:08:28.:08:31.

Olympic Games in London and has been slowly working her way back. She has

:08:32.:08:36.

been plagued by back problems over the last year. She roared back

:08:37.:08:42.

strongly in the Australian national Championships at the start of the

:08:43.:08:46.

year adding to her enormous collection of national

:08:47.:08:50.

championships. It seems to be an issue that they are able to manage

:08:51.:08:59.

at the moment. Hoping for a clear run, injury free until the Rio

:09:00.:09:05.

Olympics. Very carefully riding here, almost touching the back

:09:06.:09:10.

wheel. Trying to get this sprint under way with 2 laps under way.

:09:11.:09:23.

Moving up the track now. Trying to encourage Meares.

:09:24.:09:37.

Meares being watched very carefully by Jun Hong Lin. The sprint has

:09:38.:09:44.

opened up. The Chinese rider keeps looking behind her. She needs to get

:09:45.:09:50.

going here and try and hang on with Meares trying to go around the

:09:51.:09:54.

outside and finding it difficult. It has been taken by Jun Hong Lin from

:09:55.:10:00.

China. An excellent result for the Chinese rider. An interesting

:10:01.:10:06.

result. Almost as I mentioned experience, Meares allowed herself

:10:07.:10:13.

to be dictated to. It was very close. No potential for accelerating

:10:14.:10:18.

onto the wheel and using the slipstream. She was very close all

:10:19.:10:23.

the way through. Left at all to do in the final bend. A bit of a

:10:24.:10:32.

surprise. Anna Meares didn't have the speed to come around and get

:10:33.:10:40.

past Jun Hong Lin. She has one more chance if she is to make it through

:10:41.:10:43.

into the World Championship final. Junhong Lin still with her nose in

:10:44.:10:55.

front in the semifinal. Vogel is one of the fans favourites

:10:56.:11:17.

from around the world. She is up against a very strong Chinese

:11:18.:11:32.

opponent. Their best sprinter over the last ten years hasn't even made

:11:33.:11:44.

it to the final. They were disqualified as they were in the

:11:45.:11:48.

run-up to the Olympic Games with the changeover. Clearly, though, the

:11:49.:11:52.

physical ability is there in the team. Zhong leads off but you would

:11:53.:12:06.

favour Vogel. She is a very flamboyant competitor, gives great

:12:07.:12:09.

interviews, very succinct and strong character. Christina Vogel has come

:12:10.:12:17.

back so well after being seriously injured in 2009. Involved in an

:12:18.:12:23.

accident on the road. A couple of days in a coma with various broken

:12:24.:12:27.

bones. She has fought back to the top. Works as a police officer. That

:12:28.:12:33.

will be her full-time career when she finishes cycling. She has taken

:12:34.:12:39.

time out in the lead up to the Olympic Games to concentrate on her

:12:40.:12:44.

dream of becoming Olympic sprint champion. Deciding to put some pace

:12:45.:12:53.

into this ride. Taking the lead there might have been a mistake.

:12:54.:12:59.

Letting her have the advantage. Pushing up the speed, weaving around

:13:00.:13:02.

the track to make it difficult to know which side to pass. Slowly

:13:03.:13:08.

accelerating as they take the bell. Vogel leading the way. Zhong trying

:13:09.:13:17.

to close the gap down the closing straight. Not very much. She is

:13:18.:13:28.

starting to close it. Stena -- Vogel was in a race that she didn't expect

:13:29.:13:33.

to be in. She was in an excellent position but I think she has been

:13:34.:13:38.

beaten here by the rider from China. Indeed she has. The two big names in

:13:39.:13:43.

the semifinal are both behind in the best of three series. That was

:13:44.:13:51.

beautifully ridden by Zhong. She didn't panic. Accelerated into the

:13:52.:13:56.

slipstream. A final kick in the home straight took her over the top of

:13:57.:14:04.

the German. STUDIO: China have the advantage in both semifinals but it

:14:05.:14:07.

is best of three. We will be back for the second race is in age. It is

:14:08.:14:15.

the keirin coming on. The warm weather biker leads out and then

:14:16.:14:20.

peels away and the races sprint. It can be dramatic and quite dangerous

:14:21.:14:25.

have a look at Jason Kenny's first ride this morning. Talk is it. --

:14:26.:14:31.

talk as through it. Unfortunately, the American goes

:14:32.:14:41.

down, too. It's one of those events. There's not much space to manoeuvre.

:14:42.:14:47.

The guys are going fast. Jason is doing all right here. Watch the

:14:48.:14:54.

rider, the Polish man, coming out on his lane, almost causing a second

:14:55.:15:00.

accident but Jason kept his cool. Then the German on the outside. Goes

:15:01.:15:06.

around the outside. And Jason are safely through to the second round.

:15:07.:15:10.

Showing that the power of Jason Kenny whose speedy as well but has

:15:11.:15:15.

unbelievable balance for the visitors who he will face in the

:15:16.:15:19.

second round. Obviously last night, winning the Sprint, physically

:15:20.:15:24.

exhausting for him. At the productive it to back-up? Very tough

:15:25.:15:29.

but the hardest part is the morning session. During the qualifying ride.

:15:30.:15:34.

You got to do it safely. He's had a chance to recover, and knows this is

:15:35.:15:38.

the last session and we are hopefully on for a medal if you can

:15:39.:15:42.

get through this. COMMENTATOR: As you would expect and

:15:43.:15:50.

excellent line-up for the Keirin second round. Kelemen is the current

:15:51.:15:59.

champion. You have the champion from Great Britain, is also previously

:16:00.:16:05.

won the title. He's getting a hero 's welcome as he returns to the

:16:06.:16:09.

scene of his triumph last night. The New Zealander has a gold medal in

:16:10.:16:16.

the team Sprint as does Sam Webster. The German has become the new world

:16:17.:16:23.

kilo champion. And the Russian is a European silver medallist in this

:16:24.:16:27.

race. A collapse of the track. The journey bike at the front increasing

:16:28.:16:32.

its place. Before disappearing with 2.5 laps to go. And then the race is

:16:33.:16:38.

on. They have to stay behind it. He's happy to take the last position

:16:39.:16:42.

at the moment. Having watched the footage a few times from that

:16:43.:16:46.

morning, looked in great shape, looking around, sprinting full tilt,

:16:47.:16:51.

monitoring things and calculating what he needed to do just to

:16:52.:16:57.

qualify, so he may feel stiff after yesterday's escapades, which he got

:16:58.:17:00.

a great reward for, of course, but he looks good this morning. The

:17:01.:17:05.

riders have been through the same process, so everybody is at a

:17:06.:17:09.

similar level of fatigue. You have to fill it in the first three, and

:17:10.:17:14.

then go through to the final. -- finish. Then you are going to the

:17:15.:17:21.

minor final. A good competition here for Jason Kenny from Great Britain.

:17:22.:17:27.

I think he could get into the top three here. The Russian is the first

:17:28.:17:37.

rider behind the bike and then the two riders from New Zealand there.

:17:38.:17:42.

Immediately following the Russian. Dawkins is the first of the two

:17:43.:17:47.

Kiwis. Sam Webster, the Commonwealth Sprint champion, is wearing white

:17:48.:17:54.

gloves. Then the last rider, who won the last title, brought to a great

:17:55.:18:00.

crescendo and the rider in the blue, with a red and white stripe down his

:18:01.:18:05.

back is Kelemen, the European champion Czech Republic. Jason Kenny

:18:06.:18:14.

up the rear. It will be interesting to see whether the New Zealanders

:18:15.:18:17.

tried to use their strength in numbers fall it looks like they

:18:18.:18:23.

will. At the moment, Dawkins going to the front. The kilo champion is

:18:24.:18:32.

on his wheels. Jason Kenny in third place looking hungry. Kelemen at the

:18:33.:18:36.

back. Following in second place, Dawkins. He is right on his heels.

:18:37.:18:44.

One lap to go. He is big, strong, powerful and racing at the front,

:18:45.:18:50.

Dawkins is trying to chase them down. Jason Kenny is in a good

:18:51.:18:53.

position to qualify for the final. Jason Kenny is across the line. He

:18:54.:19:00.

rode that absolutely beautifully. You could see that he said, right,

:19:01.:19:06.

I'm in third place. I just need to stop them coming around. He was

:19:07.:19:10.

looking backwards during the Sprint. He just needed to do enough to

:19:11.:19:17.

qualify. They could not have done better. A great leader, Kelemen. So,

:19:18.:19:25.

he led from the front and stayed there all the way round but we know

:19:26.:19:28.

he has got the staying power and show that over at four laps the

:19:29.:19:33.

other day, winning the gold medals and Dawkins was always competitive

:19:34.:19:36.

at the front of the race and untroubled in terms of the final but

:19:37.:19:40.

Jason Kenny, as well, in terms of making it through to a final in a

:19:41.:19:45.

Keirin, that was about as untroubled as it gets. He will be happy with

:19:46.:19:50.

that. It was almost a repeat of the first round where he did what he

:19:51.:19:54.

needed to do and road with great confidence. I suppose, when evil but

:19:55.:20:00.

got a gold medal in your bag, you know you're already world champion

:20:01.:20:04.

so everything else is a bonus. He can afford to ride with confidence.

:20:05.:20:08.

It was interesting to see the New Zealanders thought about getting

:20:09.:20:12.

together but no one was going to give the opportunity. Confirmation

:20:13.:20:16.

of the result: the Russian rider just edged out. Sam Webster bringing

:20:17.:20:24.

up the rear. Here we are in the thick of the race looking at the

:20:25.:20:35.

Russian rider Shurshin. You get the indication of the hurly-burly of it

:20:36.:20:40.

in the final couple of laps of the Keirin race. Elbows out at times but

:20:41.:20:44.

that one, certainly for those at the front, a relatively clean ride and

:20:45.:20:50.

straightforward. Those three flew to the final. The second semifinal

:20:51.:20:51.

coming up now including: Perves does not appear to be on top

:20:52.:21:12.

form this week but he may prove us wrong this afternoon. The German in

:21:13.:21:20.

there as well. There is Omelchenko from Azerbaijan. And here is Awang

:21:21.:21:27.

from the lazier. The Japanese rider, who was third in the Japan track cap

:21:28.:21:36.

Keirin last year. Perves, if he is informed, had a decent draw in the

:21:37.:21:40.

semifinal and should be able to get through. We will find out what he

:21:41.:21:44.

has got in his legs now. We've not seen his form yet, that's for sure.

:21:45.:21:48.

A little bit lacklustre considering how dominant he was 12 months ago.

:21:49.:21:56.

Here is a chance to redeem himself. The German rider in this race is in

:21:57.:22:04.

second bite at the moment, Maximilian Levy. An interesting

:22:05.:22:09.

character. He finished second behind Chris Foy in the Olympic Games a few

:22:10.:22:13.

years ago in the Keirin and what a final that was and Chris Holley's

:22:14.:22:28.

six Olympic title. -- Sir Chris. The real big hitter in a semifinal

:22:29.:22:33.

line-up but Awang from the lazier is very popular and has been around for

:22:34.:22:39.

very long time as well finished with a silver medal six years ago. He is

:22:40.:22:45.

a very canny rider and will spot every opportunity. One of the best

:22:46.:22:53.

it handlers on the track. Levy, real power. One of the favourites here.

:22:54.:22:58.

Perves, something of an unknown. Lacklustre start to the week.

:22:59.:23:05.

Interesting to see if there is a surprisingly from somebody. Maybe

:23:06.:23:09.

from the Korean rider who was just behind the journey bike at the

:23:10.:23:16.

moment. He won the title of the new Asian championships. The team Sprint

:23:17.:23:23.

champion of Asia. We'll keep an eye on him. Korea and Germany leading

:23:24.:23:31.

the way. Japan in third. Awang in the yellow and black of Malaysia.

:23:32.:23:37.

Perves in the navy blue of France. And then Omelchenko from Azerbaijan.

:23:38.:23:45.

You can see them jockey for position. They can't overlap the

:23:46.:23:50.

journey bike, remember. They can accelerate early. But exactly what

:23:51.:23:57.

has happened here. Awang moving up from the rear portion of the field

:23:58.:24:01.

up into second place at the moment. Following the rider from Korea. He

:24:02.:24:07.

leads the way as he moves around the outside. A very aesthetic

:24:08.:24:11.

celebration there. One lap to go now. He leads the way. Levy. The

:24:12.:24:17.

Japanese rider tries to go around outside. Being held off by Awang at

:24:18.:24:24.

the moment. And so, Germany, Malaysia and Japan go through and

:24:25.:24:32.

the defending champion will not be able to defend his title in the

:24:33.:24:36.

final. He has not got the former. He looked out of sorts this morning. He

:24:37.:24:41.

was never a factor in this race. You can see him there, look at the gap

:24:42.:24:48.

back to Perves. He could not accelerate. It could not match it at

:24:49.:24:52.

all. Levy, the speed he went forward, sheer power, he was not

:24:53.:24:59.

going to do it, qualify. He came in lengths ahead of the opposition.

:25:00.:25:05.

Chris Holley can tell you all about Maximilian Levy, one of its great

:25:06.:25:15.

rivals over the years. Jason Kenny of course has already qualified.

:25:16.:25:18.

They will all go for gold a little later on.

:25:19.:25:22.

CLARE BALDING: It's going to be some gold medal race. Levy went so early,

:25:23.:25:26.

Chris. He was flying ahead of the rest of them. He went with about 1.5

:25:27.:25:32.

laps to go. Incredible performance. The best we've seen him since 2012.

:25:33.:25:38.

Would you make him the favourite for the final? How did you assess

:25:39.:25:43.

Jason's race? He has to conserve energy up to this point so far. He

:25:44.:25:50.

knows he can do a thousand kilos a metre, his competitor. He leaves to

:25:51.:25:57.

conserve energy. He can accelerate off the wheel. He is accelerating

:25:58.:25:59.

here. He isn't is in the perfect position. He's got

:26:00.:26:12.

feeling fantastic hasn't he? He's got nothing to prove now. If he can

:26:13.:26:17.

get a medal in the Keirin, that will be fantastic for him. Being in the

:26:18.:26:21.

form of such a big thing and you see someone like Perves gone out. The

:26:22.:26:26.

French team generally have not been good, have they? They were so

:26:27.:26:32.

dominant this time last year. The air, I'm speechless, really. Talking

:26:33.:26:44.

a big names in cycling, Meares has to do when that if she is going to

:26:45.:26:48.

contest the gold medal. COMMENTATOR: So, Meares in the last

:26:49.:26:54.

chance saloon. The 32-year-old, the world Sprint champion back in 2011,

:26:55.:26:57.

her Sprint medal was a bronze a year later in them well championships in

:26:58.:27:03.

Melbourne head of the London games and Victoria Pendleton won the gold

:27:04.:27:06.

medal that year both in London and in the World Championships. Meares

:27:07.:27:12.

was a world champion as recently as a year ago in the Keirin but that's

:27:13.:27:17.

the only world title she is one in the last four years and having lost

:27:18.:27:24.

the first ride against Junhong, she has to win this one. It great

:27:25.:27:27.

opportunity for Junhong to make it into the final and race for gold

:27:28.:27:34.

this afternoon. A real surprise therefore Meares. Junhong rode

:27:35.:27:46.

beautifully, confident ride. Going so slowly you could walk alongside

:27:47.:27:50.

them at the moment. That's exactly what they have to do. A minimum of

:27:51.:27:55.

half a lap of walking place. The number one position is obliged to

:27:56.:28:08.

take the position. Two riders just watching each

:28:09.:28:09.

other intently, looking out for any movement. Mind games between the

:28:10.:28:26.

pair of them. Meares taking it very, very slowly on the opening lap.

:28:27.:28:30.

Music in the auditorium also adds to the crowd. Surely psychological,

:28:31.:28:44.

this. Just wait until it's time to unleash that Sprint. Power comes at

:28:45.:28:51.

a cost. To sustain top speed frat handful of seconds. Great skill from

:28:52.:29:00.

both of them and Meares just trying to force the issue little bit here.

:29:01.:29:08.

So experienced, Meares. 11 times world champion. Twice in the Olympic

:29:09.:29:16.

Games. And the reigning Olympic Sprint champion.

:29:17.:29:27.

The first lap just completed between the pair of them. Junhong just

:29:28.:29:34.

content to bite her time, not being forced into doing anything she

:29:35.:29:36.

doesn't want to do by the Australian. Where just waiting to

:29:37.:29:40.

see if they were going to do a standstill. It didn't happen too

:29:41.:29:44.

much on the 250 track. It's not such a big advantage to get it in the

:29:45.:29:50.

rear position but they can do that for 30 seconds and the gun will be

:29:51.:29:53.

fired. If they continue to do that. Want a game of cat and mouse they

:29:54.:30:07.

are playing here. There is only a lap and a half to go. The rider with

:30:08.:30:14.

good acceleration is going to have an advantage. Meares is keeping it

:30:15.:30:19.

as low as possible, so she thinks it is her. Junhong Lin takes a minor

:30:20.:30:28.

advantage. It is on the line for Meares. She hasn't got enough. She

:30:29.:30:35.

will have two settle for bronze at best. What a ride from Junhong Lin.

:30:36.:30:44.

She wins in two straight rights. Meares says she is only at 90% of

:30:45.:30:53.

her best didn't quite have that extra speed. She tried to control

:30:54.:30:59.

the race holding the inside position which is exactly what she wanted to

:31:00.:31:03.

do. There was an engine difference between the two. Junhong Lin

:31:04.:31:08.

superior on formal. She could deal with the fact that she didn't have

:31:09.:31:14.

it actively right. She made her come on the wrong way round on to banking

:31:15.:31:25.

is. A worthy winner. Anna Meares who won silver in the keirin behind

:31:26.:31:33.

Christina Vogel. She didn't have a bad championship. She said she was

:31:34.:31:37.

happy with it. She won't be happy with losing straight rights to Lynne

:31:38.:31:44.

John Hahn. She has had to take a step backwards in order to move

:31:45.:31:50.

forward. A lot of her winter preparation was put on hold. Because

:31:51.:31:58.

of her black rubber. -- because of her back problem.

:31:59.:32:18.

Zhong Tianshi when the first race. We have had a few surprises in terms

:32:19.:32:29.

of who has been winning these races. The British team have much to be

:32:30.:32:33.

optimistic about but there is a greater strength in depth across the

:32:34.:32:40.

world in track cycling. In terms of the sport, it can only be a good

:32:41.:32:46.

thing. Certainly, in terms of women's sprinting. Becky James is

:32:47.:32:52.

the big hope to come back for Rio. Assuming that she gets selected.

:32:53.:33:01.

Both for the keirin and the sprint. Christina Vogel looking to add to

:33:02.:33:09.

her seven world titles across the seven sprint disciplines. She has

:33:10.:33:16.

been in this before. She doesn't give in or do mind games. She just

:33:17.:33:22.

doesn't with power. She won't be fazed by being one down. We are

:33:23.:33:30.

going for a standstill. The clock will have started. 30 seconds they

:33:31.:33:35.

get. The lead rider is directed to lead-off. If they don't, they are

:33:36.:33:39.

relegated. They used to go on for minutes. You could be waiting for

:33:40.:33:44.

ten minutes or so for the race to continue. Two laps to go as they

:33:45.:33:50.

come around this time. Both riders head to the top of the track. Vogel

:33:51.:34:00.

is tempting Zhong Tianshi to come on the outside. She has let her get the

:34:01.:34:09.

inside line. Zhong Tianshi on the inside now. Christina Vogel left the

:34:10.:34:15.

door open. She found herself pushed through the barriers. Vogel has to

:34:16.:34:22.

win this to get through to the final. Zhong Tianshi holds her

:34:23.:34:31.

wrath. Around comes Vogel. Vogel has been beaten. What a turn up. And all

:34:32.:34:36.

Chinese final to look forward to in the women's sprint. She was beaten

:34:37.:34:43.

with about a lap to go. She gave away the front position. Realised

:34:44.:34:49.

what she had done. Tried to accelerate but didn't have the power

:34:50.:34:54.

to get around the top. Couldn't make it. It was too far to come around.

:34:55.:35:05.

Banging elbows there. An extra ten metres way too much to ask. She

:35:06.:35:11.

could almost see in her face that she knows she's not going to make

:35:12.:35:19.

it. Their experience tells. Two tactical mistakes. Unusual for the

:35:20.:35:24.

German. It is a surprise that she has not got through. She looked in

:35:25.:35:28.

really good form here. Christina Vogel will not make it a hat-trick.

:35:29.:35:39.

The coach who broke his hand slamming it across the table in

:35:40.:35:44.

frustration at his team's disqualification will not be feeling

:35:45.:35:48.

the pain now. Both his winning through to the final. Both races won

:35:49.:35:57.

in straight rights here. That has got is underway. Confirmation that

:35:58.:36:04.

Junhong Lin and Zhong Tianshi will race for gold and silver. Christina

:36:05.:36:11.

Vogel will race against Anna Meares for the bronze and silver.

:36:12.:36:23.

I feel like I'm going back to where it all began. The crowd are lifting

:36:24.:36:43.

her. She is now in the lead. Before London 2012, I was taking it as it

:36:44.:36:47.

came and I didn't know what to expect. Great riding, Laura! Laura

:36:48.:36:59.

Trott is on fire! I love being in front of a home crowd. It is

:37:00.:37:04.

massive. It really does give you that extra edge. The concluding

:37:05.:37:12.

event in the Omnium. The gold medal is going to come to Laura Trott. The

:37:13.:37:18.

feeling you get, the buzz is incredible. It is one that I really

:37:19.:37:26.

look forward to. She just loves cycling. A huge smile and a huge

:37:27.:37:32.

talent. She really is the queen of the track. She certainly is. Her

:37:33.:37:39.

performances have been most impressive. She is so cool, calm and

:37:40.:37:47.

collected on the track. They used to be her weak part but they are her

:37:48.:37:51.

strength now. She burst to prominence in London 2012 but she

:37:52.:37:57.

still is only 23 years old. Another Olympics to come. She was a junior

:37:58.:38:05.

champion who has already been always been very talented. She came through

:38:06.:38:11.

into the senior squad with her natural speed and ability to change

:38:12.:38:15.

pace and hold the front for a long time. We have seen her do some huge

:38:16.:38:21.

turns in the team pursuit. The way she backs up from race to race is

:38:22.:38:27.

very impressive. She has had the busiest programme of anyone in the

:38:28.:38:31.

team. She already has a bronze from the team pursuit and a gold medal

:38:32.:38:36.

from the scratch race. The Omnium is a multidiscipline event. We are

:38:37.:38:46.

coming to the last of six events. In the scratch race, Laura Trott won

:38:47.:38:55.

the sprint from third. Next, the three kilometre individual pursuit.

:38:56.:39:02.

Trott's time gave her second place. Behind her great rival Sarah Hamer

:39:03.:39:09.

from the United States. The third race was her speciality. It came

:39:10.:39:20.

down to a shoot out with Hamer. A win for Hamer and the two sat level

:39:21.:39:23.

at the top of the rankings overnight. Today began the 500

:39:24.:39:30.

metres time trial and the two leaders went off together. Trott's

:39:31.:39:38.

explosive space gave her a 14 point advantage with two rights to go.

:39:39.:39:47.

Next, the flying lap. Trott kept her advantage by clocking 14.2 16. It

:39:48.:40:01.

extended her lead over Hamer. 12 points isn't very much when you have

:40:02.:40:08.

a potential to win, we saw yesterday the German rider win 55 points. Not

:40:09.:40:16.

as many sprints on offer. A shorter race. Everything is in the balance.

:40:17.:40:22.

They have waited it towards the points race to favour the endurance

:40:23.:40:27.

athletes. How was she feeling yesterday? She was a little bit down

:40:28.:40:35.

after the elimination race. She has bounced back strongly and she seems

:40:36.:40:39.

like she is focused and ready. Although Sarah Hamer beat her, she

:40:40.:40:46.

has suffered since. Laura tried to box her in and get

:40:47.:41:02.

her eliminated early. She had to go up the banking a lot and has

:41:03.:41:08.

expended a lot of energy. 100 laps ahead of them with tens sprints.

:41:09.:41:15.

Points for winning the sprints. Simon Brotherton and Chris Boardman

:41:16.:41:18.

can explain to you how bonus points can be won. COMMENTATOR: Just

:41:19.:41:25.

rolling around for the first of the 100 laps. The race will start when

:41:26.:41:32.

they cross the line next time. Sprints every ten laps four points

:41:33.:41:37.

on the line. Five points maximum, three, two, one. 50 points on the

:41:38.:41:45.

cards. All importantly, as Claire alluded to, if you gain a lap, 20

:41:46.:41:50.

points bonus and you are sprinting with everybody else for the next.

:41:51.:41:57.

The potential is to overhaul the advantages which look very big but

:41:58.:42:07.

can disappear quickly. Laura Trott overall has a 12 point lead over her

:42:08.:42:19.

next competitor. 184 points. Sarah Hammer is in the bronze medal

:42:20.:42:25.

position. Let Edmundson from Australia is fourth at the moment.

:42:26.:42:34.

The Belgian in fifth. Alison Beveridge up there on 130. It is a

:42:35.:42:39.

very strong field. Some really good riders here. The tactics are going

:42:40.:42:47.

to be very interesting. We have got some strong riders. For some of the

:42:48.:43:01.

riders, the gaps aren't very big. A couple of lap gains and suddenly

:43:02.:43:05.

they can be a real threat. While they take a lap, they can mop up

:43:06.:43:10.

points. Lots of riders are in the mix. The rider from the Netherlands

:43:11.:43:17.

in Orange. Durer of Belgian at the front. A

:43:18.:43:39.

really good road rider. The national champion of Belgium last year. One

:43:40.:43:45.

couple of races on the road. She could be a factor. Close enough on

:43:46.:43:55.

150 points to be a real threat. She can't be allowed to gain a lap. That

:43:56.:44:01.

is what Laura Trott has to look out for. You must look at a wider group

:44:02.:44:13.

as far as taking a lap is concerned. The first attack is from the

:44:14.:44:21.

Italian. We saw her riding in the road on the women's Tour. She took a

:44:22.:44:30.

couple of decent stage placings. Just get things moving more quickly.

:44:31.:44:36.

Edmundson in the white with the yellow and Queen of Australia. Good

:44:37.:44:41.

to see her performing well towards the top end after finally becoming

:44:42.:44:45.

world champion last year. She had a nasty accident. BELL

:44:46.:44:57.

Lawler trot in second place. The German is up there too but she is

:44:58.:45:06.

being left behind. -- Laura Trott. Coming back stronger. But not strong

:45:07.:45:11.

enough in that first Sprint. That's a very good positive start for Laura

:45:12.:45:16.

Trott. Very cleverly written. She had an opportunity to take on the

:45:17.:45:19.

lead with a lap to go but wisely stayed behind. Scoring the odd

:45:20.:45:25.

points and saving energy. If she hadn't gone for that, Hammer were

:45:26.:45:34.

taking the points. Laura Trott's leader goes off. 189. Hammer, USA,

:45:35.:45:44.

169. Edmondson in fourth place at the moment, 152 points, a danger

:45:45.:45:56.

rider. She's got some help this time. Alison Beveridge has won a

:45:57.:46:01.

silver medal in the team pursuit in the week. She's involved at the

:46:02.:46:06.

front. Edmondson knows she has to make this race animated. She has

:46:07.:46:12.

some catching up to do. Quite a battle at the moment between here

:46:13.:46:16.

and Hammer to get onto the podium. Sarah Hammer already collecting

:46:17.:46:20.

three points from that first Sprint. A difficult race to control, this

:46:21.:46:25.

one. As soon as someone falls, everyone will look at Laura Trott

:46:26.:46:29.

and say, it's up to you to do the chasing. The rider from the

:46:30.:46:32.

Netherlands, another really good road rider. She can power along all

:46:33.:46:37.

day given half the chance. She will have a chance here because she is in

:46:38.:46:42.

seventh place at the moment so no threat for Laura Trott, even if she

:46:43.:46:48.

gains a lap so the onus is not on the British rider to do the chasing

:46:49.:46:53.

here. She is really making some inroads here. Yes, seventh overall

:46:54.:46:59.

at the moment on 126 points. Some considerable way down. The world

:47:00.:47:05.

champion last year in the scratch race, she won the Omnium in the

:47:06.:47:13.

World Cup. She's enjoying some daylight here. She has a lead of

:47:14.:47:17.

over half a lap. The chase being led by the rider from China. But, at the

:47:18.:47:27.

front, she is leading the way as she tries to gain a lap early. I think

:47:28.:47:32.

she's going to do it. They have not been hanging around, either. I don't

:47:33.:47:37.

know if she has been pushing into the rest and is about to pay the

:47:38.:47:42.

price. Buy ahead of this next Sprint, she will take four points.

:47:43.:47:46.

That will be 25 in total which will push her Apple board. Looking for

:47:47.:47:52.

the points on offer and looking to keep going. Hopefully she can latch

:47:53.:47:57.

onto the back of that pack and gain the extra points available should

:47:58.:48:07.

she managed to do so. The China rider, Ling, looks like she will

:48:08.:48:10.

claim three points. The rider with her was Gonzales of Venezuela.

:48:11.:48:15.

Venezuela is getting a couple of points there. Laura Trott tucked

:48:16.:48:19.

into the main field along with the other medal contenders at the

:48:20.:48:26.

moment. This plays into the hands of Laura Trott. She's mopping up the

:48:27.:48:31.

points, taking it away from the real threat. It's absolutely perfect for

:48:32.:48:37.

her. Just 40 minutes of the back of that group. She'll certainly make

:48:38.:48:42.

the junction which will put her into having a good chance of a podium.

:48:43.:48:46.

Just one point behind a net Edmondson who was fourth at the

:48:47.:48:52.

moment, should she gain a lap. She still working hard, WILD. Sarah

:48:53.:49:02.

Hammer have been looking at opportunities to move up the table.

:49:03.:49:06.

Now she would have to move backwards as well because Edmondson is bearing

:49:07.:49:11.

down on her. Wild is about to be in a similar position. It's going to be

:49:12.:49:16.

a tactically different position for the American very soon. The Belgian

:49:17.:49:25.

at the other end of the pack at the front end, the pointy end, makes a

:49:26.:49:38.

move, D'Hoore. She had help from the Italian Frapporti. She's really into

:49:39.:49:43.

the red now. Looking to bridge onto that last meal. We've seen riders

:49:44.:49:48.

get this close. And disappear backwards again. Never making

:49:49.:49:51.

contact. I can't believe that will happen to ride of her quality. Up to

:49:52.:49:58.

the junction now. Great writing the from Kirsten D'Hoore but she had to

:49:59.:50:05.

dig deep the way things were in front of her. Going off the front

:50:06.:50:14.

from Berthon. She won't have long to do that. This is relentless. She

:50:15.:50:20.

only got a few moments to take a breath before she needs to work her

:50:21.:50:27.

way towards the front. The advantage nullified by another attack. She is

:50:28.:50:34.

now into fifth position. 151. Just one point behind Edmondson in

:50:35.:50:38.

fourth, but she still has some work to do. They are on the Sprint lap

:50:39.:50:42.

now and it looks as if it is the rider from Belarus at the front.

:50:43.:50:47.

Coming from behind is Laura Trott trying to get into the points where

:50:48.:50:53.

the Sarah Hammer. Five points for Belarus, three for Cuba and another

:50:54.:51:01.

two for Laura. A psychological blow because she came over the top of

:51:02.:51:08.

Sarah Hammer. A real psychological blow the four Hammer, I think. A

:51:09.:51:21.

good race so far so Sarah Hammer moves up the track. There is the

:51:22.:51:26.

situation in the overall standings. Laura Trott leading the way. Wild

:51:27.:51:30.

gaming but still in fifth place having gained a lap on everybody

:51:31.:51:35.

else. -- gaming for the LS from New Zealand attacks. Jason Kenny in

:51:36.:51:40.

conversation with Mark Cavendish. We can look forward to those raising

:51:41.:51:46.

this afternoon. Jason Kenny in the men's Hammer racing for a second

:51:47.:51:49.

gold medal of the games and Mark Cavendish will line up alongside

:51:50.:51:53.

Sarah Bradley Wiggins in the Madison. They won together in 2008.

:51:54.:51:59.

This'll the first World Championship they written in the Madison since

:52:00.:52:03.

then and what a finale to the championships it is. That is later

:52:04.:52:08.

on this afternoon. This final day of the Track Cycling World

:52:09.:52:11.

Championships. At the moment, we're watching Lauren Ellis, the

:52:12.:52:14.

Commonwealth silver medallist, trying to gain a lap in which I

:52:15.:52:18.

think she will gain because, as you can see, everybody else is taking a

:52:19.:52:25.

breather. Absolutely. Great attack. Everybody riding hard, took a

:52:26.:52:29.

breather. She made short work of that. 20 points, moved right up the

:52:30.:52:37.

board. Perfect for Laura Trott. The riders, another threat for the other

:52:38.:52:42.

contenders, forcing them to ride defensively rather than offensively.

:52:43.:52:46.

She's not a factor at the moment, the from New Zealand. That bonus of

:52:47.:52:54.

20 points has taken her on 298. She is still 11, a long way behind the

:52:55.:52:58.

podium, but at least she is showing her pace at the front. Perfect

:52:59.:53:11.

timing. Certainly was. Lap 61. And D'Hoore from Belgium have a go at

:53:12.:53:17.

the front as well. The Belgian is behind her as well. Gonzales from

:53:18.:53:22.

Venezuelan, in her mid-30s now, the Pan American games, Gold medallist a

:53:23.:53:27.

few years ago, trying to hang on and collect more points. And the

:53:28.:53:30.

teenager from Denmark is going to take three points here, going over

:53:31.:53:37.

the top of the Belgian. She's collecting the five points. Denmark,

:53:38.:53:42.

three, Belarus, two, Gonzales, Venezuela, one. She happened to be

:53:43.:53:48.

coming over on the Sprint lap. Pushed on but didn't have any

:53:49.:53:52.

company here so she's thinking twice about it. A long way to go on her

:53:53.:53:56.

own when they are motoring behind so I think she will call it a day

:53:57.:54:01.

shortly. She has real star quality at the age of 19. A two-time road

:54:02.:54:07.

race champion is I think we'll hear her name a lot in years to come.

:54:08.:54:11.

She's having a little look over her shoulder, Dideriksen. Laura Trott in

:54:12.:54:21.

the gold medal position. The final race of the women's Omnium. Laura

:54:22.:54:26.

has finished second in each of the last three years of the World

:54:27.:54:29.

Championships in this championship. She was last world champion in

:54:30.:54:34.

Melbourne, 2012, head of the London Olympic Games and became the London

:54:35.:54:38.

Olympic champion as well. An offensive approach to defending

:54:39.:54:41.

their position in this race so far. Sprinting very successfully.

:54:42.:54:45.

Expanded her lead. In a good position here now. At various grant

:54:46.:54:52.

position. She's marking every move the Belgian and Hammer have made and

:54:53.:54:58.

she won't let them escape so only a surprise move from Edmondson, in

:54:59.:55:06.

touch, could start to become something of a threat but come at

:55:07.:55:09.

the moment, it's playing into her hands. The pace has forced them to

:55:10.:55:12.

slow down as they approach half distance. That will have helped

:55:13.:55:24.

Wild, On The Last Portion Of The Lap. Leading At The Moment, Ellis.

:55:25.:55:32.

Edmondson, the defending world champion right behind her. There is

:55:33.:55:39.

a real lull here. Wild is perfect for her because she is 20 points,

:55:40.:55:44.

more than 20 points off the podium but if a rider of her calibre, I

:55:45.:55:50.

don't believe she will settle for anything but a medal here. She can't

:55:51.:55:55.

do it on points, highly unlikely, so I think we'll see her in the next 50

:55:56.:56:00.

laps going for another attack. No surprise to see the Belarus rider at

:56:01.:56:05.

the front again, keeping her eye on everything. A former world champion

:56:06.:56:14.

in the points race back in 2011. Ling from China, momentarily comes

:56:15.:56:19.

to the front. Gonzales of Venezuela in third. Hama behind her. The

:56:20.:56:28.

Canadian behind her. -- Hammer. She came up the inside but Laura Trott

:56:29.:56:35.

got blocked. Not quite there. Finding their way through now. Here

:56:36.:56:42.

we are on the Sprint lap. Laura Trott goes around the outside. That

:56:43.:56:47.

will get the crowd going. Laura Trott, she shows it clean pair of

:56:48.:56:54.

heels to everyone. Laura Trott grabs five more points, just when the

:56:55.:56:57.

others thought they were about to begin to eat into her lead a little.

:56:58.:57:03.

She had the pace over hairline strategically kept her foot on the

:57:04.:57:11.

pedal. Sarah Hammer frustrated at not being able to make any inroads

:57:12.:57:16.

towards that gold medal. That title looks to be slipping away here. The

:57:17.:57:24.

three podium placed riders at the moment. Those three riders are

:57:25.:57:27.

together on the track at the moment with Hammer at the front. Laura

:57:28.:57:34.

Trott following her. About halfway back in the field. Edmondson on the

:57:35.:57:38.

front. D'Hoore up there as well behind the Russian. The Canadian

:57:39.:57:49.

with, once again, Sharapova going off the front. Looks like she's

:57:50.:57:57.

trying to spring them out of it now. The only top six can contest the

:57:58.:58:05.

medals and do outrageous things like take it. Edmondson and D'Hoore, they

:58:06.:58:13.

could threaten the podium places. The Canadian on 130, I think that is

:58:14.:58:22.

the barrier. Edmondson the defending world champion goes off the front.

:58:23.:58:27.

The German closes the gap. They gain some ground now. Dideriksen on her

:58:28.:58:34.

wheel. Towards the back of the main field of the moment. A real danger

:58:35.:58:41.

to Sarah Hammer of the United States, an attack like that

:58:42.:58:45.

succeeding. Edmondson close enough that she could score en route and

:58:46.:58:49.

overtake them, so they are the ones who have to do the chasing.

:58:50.:58:56.

Beveridge attacks now and is closed down straightaway by the rider from

:58:57.:59:06.

Cuba. The laps are ticking away now. 43 laps remaining as they come

:59:07.:59:11.

around this time. Over half distance, Laura Trott closing on

:59:12.:59:21.

that world title. Acceleration from the three-time European under 23

:59:22.:59:24.

champion who has not been able to feature towards the top end of the

:59:25.:59:28.

leaderboard, but she is looking to finish strongly and on the attack

:59:29.:59:36.

now, being followed by D'Hoore. And the rider from Japan, in fifth place

:59:37.:59:43.

at the moment in the line-out. As we go into this Sprint lap, Laura Trott

:59:44.:59:50.

is following the wheel of the French rider. It's going to be a struggle

:59:51.:59:56.

between the pair of them. Look at them go around the outside.

:59:57.:59:59.

Travelling at a different speed to the other riders on the track. Sarah

:00:00.:00:06.

Hammer lead from over the line. Laura Trott, third. All importantly,

:00:07.:00:09.

Laura Trott adds another couple of points. At this moment in time, it's

:00:10.:00:13.

looking very good for her with 40 laps to go. She is on to 198 points.

:00:14.:00:21.

Hammer, 178, in second. What a battle for the silver medal at the

:00:22.:00:22.

moment. world champion last year. She had a

:00:23.:00:51.

nasty accident. BELL 37 laps to go as they cross the

:00:52.:01:16.

finish line. Only 20 points remaining. Laura Trott doesn't have

:01:17.:01:24.

too beat anybody. She just has to stop people from taking the lap.

:01:25.:01:38.

D'Hoore digging in hard. Making it a trio of riders at the front. Angie

:01:39.:01:46.

Gonzales of Venezuelan at the front of the group behind the main field.

:01:47.:01:56.

Laura Trott making steps towards a world title. Her first of this

:01:57.:02:07.

Olympic cycle. Ellis attacking on the inside. From New Zealand. She

:02:08.:02:14.

gained a lap early in the race. She will have to gain a few if she wants

:02:15.:02:23.

to get on terms. If she were to gain another lap it would only take her

:02:24.:02:27.

up to eight. She is still fighting hard. The Cuban has decided to go

:02:28.:02:40.

after her. Beveridge has gone after her as well. Hamer decides to let

:02:41.:02:46.

her go. The Canadian will put herself on

:02:47.:03:06.

terms if she can gain a lap. That will put her in the third to fifth

:03:07.:03:17.

looping. In with a shot of a medal. Lauren Ellis against the second lap

:03:18.:03:25.

of the race. Beveridge of Canada trying to do the same thing.

:03:26.:03:40.

This is ideal for Laura Trott. All of the points being soaked up by the

:03:41.:03:50.

riders fighting for minor places. Lauren Ellis has done really well to

:03:51.:03:59.

drag herself up into eight. Dideriksen is ninth. The Cuban ten.

:04:00.:04:07.

They are marking each other. It is ridiculous. Berthon taking out

:04:08.:04:20.

Hammer in an attempt to get her out at the front. Berthon has written a

:04:21.:04:28.

very negative race. They are both on the same points. It would all be on

:04:29.:04:34.

position in the last dash for the line. 25 laps remaining. Laura Trott

:04:35.:04:43.

has got a stranglehold on it. She is leaving them to squabble at the

:04:44.:04:48.

back. They appear to have stopped watching her. What a force this is

:04:49.:05:03.

if they get really going. Hammer and Berthon are just dawdling along

:05:04.:05:12.

watching each other. Laura Trott won a scratch race earlier this season

:05:13.:05:19.

socially already -- so she already has a gold medal. The Russian rider

:05:20.:05:30.

has started to join in. This is a gift for Laura Trott. Happy to help

:05:31.:05:36.

out in this breakaway of five. Not putting too much in. The two that

:05:37.:05:45.

are riding very curiously are Hammer and Berthon who are only now

:05:46.:05:48.

thinking about getting into the race. They could see themselves in

:05:49.:05:55.

trouble. Laura Trott wants to do this in style. She is on the wheel

:05:56.:06:01.

of the Australian and benevolence. She is going to collect three more

:06:02.:06:05.

points here. Five to Australia and three to Great Britain. Laura

:06:06.:06:12.

Trott's stranglehold is basically comp leet on this women's omnium. As

:06:13.:06:17.

long as she stays upright, she is going to win. Sarah Hammer and

:06:18.:06:26.

Berthon are still locked in behind. Edmundson would need to gain a lap

:06:27.:06:35.

to get into contention. I think that Hammer and Berthon are going to see

:06:36.:06:40.

they are neutral and it will be all on the final dash. If they are level

:06:41.:06:46.

on points, it is who finished first on the final dash for the line. They

:06:47.:06:51.

have given up on attacking Laura Trott. She was so strong in the

:06:52.:06:56.

first half of this race that they have realised they can't beat her in

:06:57.:07:01.

a sprint. They have to concentrate on second and third position. Laura

:07:02.:07:06.

Trott is not obliged to score a single point. She will take the

:07:07.:07:11.

world title. Riding on the inside at the front. 17 laps to go.

:07:12.:07:29.

Edmundson is going to have a go. It has been a dangerous game played by

:07:30.:08:01.

Berthon at the back. Their podium place is not in the bag,

:08:02.:08:15.

necessarily. Beveridge and Wild. The Italian leads the chase. That is the

:08:16.:08:21.

front of the race. Berthon refusing to even go through. She's stuck to

:08:22.:08:26.

the wheel of Hammer. Banking everything on the final sprint.

:08:27.:08:30.

Everybody else is getting on with it. I don't think Wild after that

:08:31.:08:41.

huge effort has fully recovered. She is in this breakaway. It is easing

:08:42.:08:47.

in behind and she has got herself into a group of three. Not a lot she

:08:48.:08:53.

can do to contribute. They are all really tired. They are all looking

:08:54.:09:00.

at Sarah Hammer who is having to do it all alone. Berthon on her wheel

:09:01.:09:07.

and Laura Trott as well. Laura Trott in that group of three chasing. Only

:09:08.:09:13.

one point on the line at the moment. Hammer leads that sprint with

:09:14.:09:20.

Berthon. Meanwhile, Beveridge going for it at the front of the race.

:09:21.:09:27.

Waiting for confirmation of who got the points for that race to the

:09:28.:09:35.

line. It may have been the Chinese rider. Sarah Hammer took a very

:09:36.:09:44.

valuable point. She has a 1-point lead over Berthon. It is almost

:09:45.:09:52.

neutral. With a single point, it is still down to the final sprint.

:09:53.:10:02.

Berthon has two score. Hammer is not obliged to score now she has her

:10:03.:10:08.

nose in front. Laura Trott is on the verge of becoming world champion. It

:10:09.:10:11.

would be a fourth gold medal for Great Britain. And the second in an

:10:12.:10:20.

Olympic discipline. Laura Trott can afford to sit on the front and tell

:10:21.:10:24.

them to the line. Keeping everybody in check. Lauren Ellis has yet

:10:25.:10:31.

another go at trying to gain a lap. She has gained a couple in this race

:10:32.:10:37.

so fair play to her. A superb race but not a factor on the podium. Half

:10:38.:10:44.

a dozen laps to go. Dideriksen chasing after the rider from New

:10:45.:10:47.

Zealand. The Cuban is getting involved. Meanwhile, Berthon and

:10:48.:10:57.

Hammer are watching each other at the back. Berthon is the loser here.

:10:58.:11:07.

Hammer can afford to hang back. She will keep the silver medal. Berthon

:11:08.:11:14.

should have monitored the race. Points have disappeared. I think she

:11:15.:11:19.

has raced very negatively and she has paid the price. In a way, she

:11:20.:11:24.

gets what she deserves for not trying to make things happen. She

:11:25.:11:30.

hasn't animated the race at all. She is going to come unstuck if she is

:11:31.:11:38.

not careful. We go into the final three laps. Lauren Ellis is still

:11:39.:11:45.

accelerating of the banking. The first rider on the track. Berthon on

:11:46.:11:54.

the inside of the track trying to shake off Hammer. She is going for

:11:55.:11:59.

the final sprint. It is a grand finale. Berthon is going for the

:12:00.:12:05.

final sprint. Hammer is on her wheel. Head to head towards the

:12:06.:12:14.

line. Berthon has conserved enough energy to take the sprint against

:12:15.:12:19.

the American. Berthon takes the sprint to the line. Laura Trott now

:12:20.:12:25.

crosses the line as the world champion for the second time in her

:12:26.:12:33.

career. Second gold of the week. Olympic year and it is all going

:12:34.:12:41.

swimmingly for Laura Trott. Berthon France does get the silver medal.

:12:42.:12:46.

The crowd Rice to salute Laura Trott. Gold for Great Britain and

:12:47.:12:52.

gold for Laura Trott for the second time this week she will be on the

:12:53.:12:59.

top step of the podium. Crushed the opposition's morale and made them

:13:00.:13:03.

focus for a place. Beautifully consistent all the way through. A

:13:04.:13:10.

fascinating final between Berthon and Hammer. I thought Berthon had

:13:11.:13:19.

blown it. It kept the competition interesting. Laura Trott was so

:13:20.:13:28.

dominant that the gold medal was not in question for the last 30 or 40

:13:29.:13:33.

laps. The Olympic champion here four years ago. The world champion four

:13:34.:13:40.

years ago. She has settled for silver in each of the World

:13:41.:13:43.

Championships since and now she is on top of the world. Great ride by

:13:44.:13:53.

her. A little bit shaken by being bested by Sarah Hammer in the

:13:54.:13:58.

elimination race which is her forte. Came back and battered this final

:13:59.:14:08.

event. Jason Kenny, meanwhile, tries to focus on what is to come for him.

:14:09.:14:13.

No doubt, thoroughly delighted with what has happened. It is one

:14:14.:14:27.

upmanship for them in that household. How many medals have you

:14:28.:14:35.

got? A very dominant performance in the women's omnium. Berthon staked

:14:36.:14:44.

it all on the last sprint and she was proved right but I thought she

:14:45.:14:45.

was playing a very dangerous game. Laura Trott, with three medals from

:14:46.:14:54.

these championships, she's had a very busy schedule. On top of the

:14:55.:15:08.

world. Going into Rio with the best possible preparation. Certainly

:15:09.:15:11.

giving the other is plenty to think about, they knew that she was going

:15:12.:15:17.

to be strong. Thoroughly dominant, and the points race at the end of

:15:18.:15:20.

the competition, it certainly does not do her any harm either. So, a

:15:21.:15:32.

gold medal for Great Britain, on the final afternoon of these

:15:33.:15:36.

championships, and who knows? Potentially more medals still to

:15:37.:15:43.

come. Go, Trotty, go. That's what it says

:15:44.:15:46.

on her flag. She galloped through that, leaving

:15:47.:15:49.

everyone else in her wake. She's out in front with 201 points, coming

:15:50.:15:56.

into the final race. She picked up 17 points to extend

:15:57.:16:02.

her lead. That was a real battle with Hammer, I'm surprised she could

:16:03.:16:05.

do anything at all after yesterday, but we will hope to have a word with

:16:06.:16:09.

her almost immediately, how she can even have the energy to celebrate.

:16:10.:16:14.

The Trott and Kenny household have three gold medals between them.

:16:15.:16:19.

Here is the double world champion. Huge congratulations, once again

:16:20.:16:22.

you've had the velodrome on their feet, you were able to enjoy the

:16:23.:16:26.

last 40 laps of that? Definitely, they said to me before the start

:16:27.:16:30.

that if I get 20 laps to go with a big enough gap, I can ride around

:16:31.:16:33.

and follow, that is what I tried to do. I tried to get enough points

:16:34.:16:36.

early, I'm so happy. It's only taken four years! It sends out a strong

:16:37.:16:48.

message as far as you are concerned, five months out from Rio? I did this

:16:49.:16:52.

before London, when it was Melbourne, I never expected to win

:16:53.:16:55.

but this time I read it wanted to win. I wanted to pull it off. A

:16:56.:17:00.

wonderful Mother's Day gift, it was lovely to see you with your mum then

:17:01.:17:04.

at the end, what did she say? She's so happy, I said last night, I was

:17:05.:17:09.

gutted about the elimination race. I rode stupidly, I should have taken

:17:10.:17:13.

Sarah to the black line, we saw the time difference in the 500 meter. I

:17:14.:17:20.

text of them last night to say I was gutted, and I could not do it. To

:17:21.:17:26.

poll it off, that is so special. It is your second world title, adding

:17:27.:17:30.

to the bronze in the team pursuit committee could not ask for more, it

:17:31.:17:34.

is a heavy schedule you've set yourself? I added the scratch race

:17:35.:17:39.

in as a bonus, I like to do a bunch race before the Omni in itself, it

:17:40.:17:42.

was a hard-fought race, it was harder than I imagined. But to pull

:17:43.:17:47.

back the bonds for the girls, I was so happy about that. -- the bonds

:17:48.:17:54.

medal. To come back from fifth and pull off that right, it was great

:17:55.:18:03.

for the team, I guess -- to pull that last one off, I'm so happy

:18:04.:18:09.

Jason gave you a wink before the track, he was a little bit unwell,

:18:10.:18:13.

but a brilliant performance from him, your households are doing well

:18:14.:18:17.

at these World Championships? I was so happy for him, you is not won a

:18:18.:18:22.

world title in so long. I could see he was emotional on the podium, it

:18:23.:18:25.

is not like him. He could see how much it meant to him. We could not

:18:26.:18:30.

get lovey-dovey before an elimination race! But you will be

:18:31.:18:33.

cheering him on in the Keirin race? Yes, he can do the double now as

:18:34.:18:40.

well! Thank you. That is the joy of a sporting couple, they can go one

:18:41.:18:47.

challenging each other? Yes, she was in control the whole way through,

:18:48.:18:50.

she admitted she was questioning whether she made the right move in

:18:51.:18:53.

the elimination last night, potentially her confidence was down

:18:54.:18:57.

but she has bounced back. The last 30 or 40 laps she was in control, it

:18:58.:19:02.

was brilliant. A third gold medal for them in their house, the fourth

:19:03.:19:06.

for Great Britain. It would put them above Germany in the medals charts,

:19:07.:19:12.

just those two? We used to get that all the time as well. It is superb,

:19:13.:19:17.

when you are both on form like that, you know what each other are going

:19:18.:19:21.

through. As she said earlier in the week, her and Jason work well

:19:22.:19:24.

together because they understand what is happening and when they're

:19:25.:19:27.

bad day is bad, and when a good day is good. Sarah, let's look at this

:19:28.:19:34.

race, she covered the other two so well, her competitors and

:19:35.:19:37.

challengers. She won a couple of sprints? She was following the right

:19:38.:19:44.

wheels, using other competitors who were desperate for points. This is

:19:45.:19:49.

the first sprint, she took it relatively comfortably. Looking a

:19:50.:19:54.

little frustrated and desperate, but she was coming across the line... I

:19:55.:19:59.

think Sarah Hammer wrote a desperate race, as did Laurie Berthon, towards

:20:00.:20:03.

the end. But Laura Trott had the speed to spare. That 500 metres gave

:20:04.:20:08.

her confidence that she needed, she is so much better than Sarah Hammer.

:20:09.:20:12.

It is lovely to see that she came across the line with daylight. In

:20:13.:20:16.

the final stages of the rays, Laura Trott does not have to get involved,

:20:17.:20:21.

she has the gold medal in the back. -- race. It is a silver medal battle

:20:22.:20:29.

between Laurie Berthon and Sarah Hammer, I feel sorry for Hammer, not

:20:30.:20:33.

doing so well yesterday. She tried her best, it became a game of cat

:20:34.:20:41.

and mouse, there are all these different subplots, Laurie Berthon

:20:42.:20:45.

said great, new go, I will get the gold medal. Is there anyone else who

:20:46.:20:49.

was not in the race who could be a contender in Rio? Or is that the

:20:50.:20:53.

field likely to be in the Olympics? I would say that is the field, but

:20:54.:20:57.

Australian Edmondson, she had a recent accident, on the road she was

:20:58.:21:02.

knocked over by a car, she could potentially be a challenger to

:21:03.:21:05.

Laura. She was a challenger last year. I would say Hammer and the

:21:06.:21:10.

Australian the biggest threats in Rio for Mora. What will Laura do now

:21:11.:21:15.

for the next five months? She will go away -- Laura. She used to have

:21:16.:21:22.

incredibly good time trials, she was not scoring so highly in those bunch

:21:23.:21:27.

races. She's done a lot of video analysis and looked at the other

:21:28.:21:30.

competitors and how she can capitalise on their mistakes will

:21:31.:21:33.

stop she can consolidate and see she has the right approach, the others

:21:34.:21:38.

seem to focus on having one strong event, like Sarah Hammer in the

:21:39.:21:41.

individual pursuit. It is lock on the others. She can take confidence

:21:42.:21:47.

that she is covering six of these omnium events well. Let's reflect on

:21:48.:21:52.

the men's omnium. Mark Cavendish came in in fifth place, he has to

:21:53.:21:57.

get a lot of points to make it onto the podium. He gave it his best shot

:21:58.:22:01.

and wanted to keep the home crowd happy, he won the final sprint. By

:22:02.:22:07.

this time the race was effectively over? Yes, I think it was a good

:22:08.:22:11.

performance from him, but he needed to be on the podium to give the

:22:12.:22:15.

selectors more of a headache. It is going to be a tough choice when it

:22:16.:22:18.

comes to the limbic selection, do they put him in the omnium with 14

:22:19.:22:27.

riders? -- Olympic selection. Cavendish, congratulating the

:22:28.:22:30.

Colombian who won the gold, three of them finished on double points, it

:22:31.:22:34.

came down to their positions in the final sprint, gold went to Colombia.

:22:35.:22:39.

Cavendish is in sixth overall. Jill spoke to him and the technical

:22:40.:22:44.

director Shane Sutton. I wanted to feel that sensation,

:22:45.:22:50.

that will be the same as the Olympic games, it was a 50, to power points

:22:51.:22:57.

race. -- 50 kilometres per hour points race. It will be the same

:22:58.:23:03.

level at the Olympic Games come I wanted to test it. I don't know if I

:23:04.:23:08.

am going. But, I wanted to see where I go along with the best riders.

:23:09.:23:14.

Actually, they've all come off a road programme. My theory was to do

:23:15.:23:20.

that, I had to qualify. I had to go to Hong Kong, Columbia... But

:23:21.:23:25.

actually... It was good to come off of the road, you have that insurance

:23:26.:23:32.

there in the final points. Hopefully, I did enough for

:23:33.:23:35.

selection. I don't know. There was a feeling that perhaps, if you got a

:23:36.:23:39.

medal, it would help his chances of being in the team to go to Rio. The

:23:40.:23:45.

team pursuit has to be the focus as well? Yes, that fifth ride will be

:23:46.:23:50.

part of that ATP, it is a big medal opportunity. Like I said, at the

:23:51.:23:57.

moment emotions are high -- TP. He wrote great sprints out there, but

:23:58.:24:01.

at the end of the day, he did not get the result you wanted. But we

:24:02.:24:04.

aren't discounting him at the moment. The decision is between him,

:24:05.:24:10.

asked, the coaching team. We will sit down and see where we go.

:24:11.:24:14.

Mark Cavendish has a final chance to make it up, not in an Olympic event,

:24:15.:24:19.

he will write later today in the Madison with Sir Bradley Wiggins.

:24:20.:24:25.

Now, we come to the gold medal ceremony for Laura Trott in the

:24:26.:24:28.

omnium. Here it is Simon. She's barely had

:24:29.:24:32.

time to catch her breath before the medals are to be presented here.

:24:33.:24:39.

Sarah Hammer, an eight time world champion. Finishing with the once

:24:40.:24:43.

medal. Edged out by a single point, by the

:24:44.:24:54.

French man Laurie Berthon. -- bronze medal. She was third in Hong Kong

:24:55.:24:59.

this year in the Omni. Sarah Hammer, when she won the elimination race,

:25:00.:25:03.

she was in high spirits, and felt she could really challenge, but it

:25:04.:25:07.

did not happen for her on the second day. Not enough to challenge for the

:25:08.:25:12.

gold medal, but you can be sure that she will be in Rio, not far away.

:25:13.:25:17.

Like Laura Trott, she is very consistent. A silver in 2011, a

:25:18.:25:25.

bronze medal in 2012, gold in 13 and 14, now she has a bronze medal

:25:26.:25:28.

again. Laurie Berthon has previously won

:25:29.:25:33.

several national titles in the omnium and the scratch race, this is

:25:34.:25:39.

her first appearance on the podium in this kind of race.

:25:40.:25:43.

She banked everything on the final sprint, we thought she was waiting

:25:44.:25:49.

to far back, she waited for the race to ease, and she got the opportunity

:25:50.:25:56.

to turn it into a sprint with Sarah Hammer, and she came out on top. She

:25:57.:26:02.

should be used to it by now. So many gold medals, at an Olympic and world

:26:03.:26:13.

level. The roar is for Laura Trott. Champion again, her second rainbow

:26:14.:26:18.

jersey of the week. Seven world title in all. The scratch race gold

:26:19.:26:26.

medal has been added as well, just a few days later, with this gold in

:26:27.:26:33.

the omnium. Her fiance, Jason, trying to keep his composure and

:26:34.:26:37.

concentrate on the Keirin final still to come. Laura Trott is centre

:26:38.:26:42.

stage at the moment. And in fine foetal ahead

:26:43.:26:47.

-- and she is in fine form ahead of Rio.

:26:48.:26:56.

Still the flowers to come, it is the 11th World Championship medal of

:26:57.:27:02.

Laura's career. And she is only 23. It is extraordinary. She is on her

:27:03.:27:09.

way to being, dare I say, certainly challenging for our most successful

:27:10.:27:13.

Olympian ever. She keeps the motivation and the level of

:27:14.:27:18.

performance going. A very special talent indeed. Now, the national

:27:19.:27:20.

anthem. GREAT BRITAIN'S

:27:21.:27:51.

NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS. Laura Trott, really setting the tone

:27:52.:28:13.

for the rest of the British team this week, and the success has

:28:14.:28:17.

continued, there could be more to come.

:28:18.:28:22.

I'm trying to think of the double acts without referring to musicians.

:28:23.:28:32.

And an deck? Nobody can do an impression because they are

:28:33.:28:44.

different. -- Ant and Dec. He is more of a dancer. You can be the fat

:28:45.:28:50.

one? The double act that is Sir Bradley

:28:51.:28:54.

Wiggins and Mark Cavendish. In one hour's time in the Madison.

:28:55.:28:58.

Is that potentially... Am I getting too excited if that is a medal

:28:59.:29:03.

chance? It could be, that it's been a year since they braced together in

:29:04.:29:07.

that way. Potential is there, Bradley is flying, Mark Cavendish

:29:08.:29:11.

has a point to prove. It could happen. Coming up, the final of the

:29:12.:29:23.

gold-medal race, and the bronze. These team-mates are not even

:29:24.:29:27.

looking at each other. Absolutely, it is still a rivalry, it is still a

:29:28.:29:32.

gold medal. You come up against your competitors in national

:29:33.:29:35.

championships. It is a shame to travel across the world and get a

:29:36.:29:40.

national final, for all intents and purposes, but these girls want the

:29:41.:29:43.

gold medal as much as the other. It will be a great battle.

:29:44.:29:47.

We will have a look at the semifinals, they are both very

:29:48.:29:51.

tactical affairs. The Austrian Anna Meares was the

:29:52.:29:55.

sufferer at the hands of Junhong Lane.

:29:56.:30:01.

I don't think Anna rode tactically well. She is normally a master

:30:02.:30:06.

tactician. It reflects her lack of confidence herself, she does not

:30:07.:30:09.

have the power she normally has. I don't decrease in her best, I think

:30:10.:30:14.

she will be back to her best at Rio. -- do not think we have seen. The

:30:15.:30:17.

Chinese athlete had it In the early stages, they were going

:30:18.:30:36.

very close to the inside of the track. Once you get up to speed, you

:30:37.:30:44.

don't want to be touching the flat part of the track because you could

:30:45.:30:52.

crash. Is it slippery? It is just the angle, it is so flat, if you're

:30:53.:31:00.

coming in at 75 K pH, it is just the angle. And you can't come inside?

:31:01.:31:11.

Once the bell has gone, if you enter the sprinter's line, you can't come

:31:12.:31:16.

out. And the person who is not in it, can't come in. We saw a couple

:31:17.:31:25.

of heavy crashes last night. I'll ask you about damage to the track.

:31:26.:31:33.

How about Caroline Ryan? She suffered a broken collarbone. A

:31:34.:31:38.

classic cycling injury. She is in pretty good spirits. She will want

:31:39.:31:45.

to be racing before the Olympic games in five months. The track is

:31:46.:31:52.

smooth but I can see marks on it. If a bike hits it hard it is going to

:31:53.:32:00.

make ends and rip up the wood? We have seen a couple of horrific

:32:01.:32:07.

accidents. Yes, you showed me some that we are not going to see here.

:32:08.:32:13.

We don't want to put people off. If a paddle lifts a board, something

:32:14.:32:22.

soft and fleshy can slide across it and pick it up. It happened to Jason

:32:23.:32:30.

qui lead my team-mate. It can go straight through your muscle. Some

:32:31.:32:42.

of the damage took place. Will they be repairing it overnight and

:32:43.:32:47.

between races? Yes, it will just need a little bit of filler. I have

:32:48.:32:55.

never seen a bike flip like I did yesterday. There are no breaks so if

:32:56.:33:02.

you stop suddenly, you literally somersault over the handlebars. The

:33:03.:33:06.

idea is to relax and four floppy but that is easier said than done. If

:33:07.:33:11.

the track splinters, we saw the Dutch rider crash twice. If you are

:33:12.:33:19.

crashing on top of injuries that you already have, it is just so painful.

:33:20.:33:25.

Jason Kenny was waiting for his final race and you could see the

:33:26.:33:29.

scars all over him from old injuries. I have got a few. It is

:33:30.:33:36.

part of the job. When you are racing day after day and you crash on the

:33:37.:33:38.

first day the worst-case scenario is falling twice

:33:39.:33:54.

on the same spot. All your nerve endings are exposed. It is not

:33:55.:33:59.

pleasant. Apart from that, I don't want to put people off. This track

:34:00.:34:09.

has a good reputation. There must be some that are notorious for being

:34:10.:34:21.

horrid to 41. If you fall on and -- and outdoor track, there is no give

:34:22.:34:29.

and it can be horrible. Wooden tracks might have splinters. There

:34:30.:34:34.

is an element of danger. It is all part of the game. We have a big name

:34:35.:34:42.

bronze medal contest here. Anna Meares against Christina Vogel. Over

:34:43.:34:46.

to the commentators to describe it for you. COMMENTATOR: Varies Anna

:34:47.:34:57.

Meares who was well beaten in her semifinal in the end. Both of the

:34:58.:35:04.

semifinals going to the riders from China in the straight rides. It was

:35:05.:35:17.

a bit of a turnip. -- turn-up. Personally, I would give the nod to

:35:18.:35:24.

Vogel. I have got so many predictions wrong. So many

:35:25.:35:30.

surprises, it is hard to tell. 18 world titles between this pair. Anna

:35:31.:35:37.

Meares hoping for one last hurrah in Rio this summer. She was the great

:35:38.:35:44.

rival of Britain's Victoria Pendleton. Particularly when they

:35:45.:35:49.

raced against each other in the London Olympics four years ago.

:35:50.:35:54.

Victoria Pendleton winning the keirin final. Anna Meares victorious

:35:55.:36:01.

in the sprint final. A two-time Olympic champion Anna Meares. She

:36:02.:36:08.

took gold in Athens in 2004. Vogel from Germany on the front. Starting

:36:09.:36:16.

to pick up the pace with a lap and a half remaining. Anna Meares keeping

:36:17.:36:22.

the height there which gives her some distance. Mears is going

:36:23.:36:29.

further so she is going faster. When she swings down onto the line, it

:36:30.:36:35.

becomes apparent. The door was left open by Vogel and Anna Meares rode

:36:36.:36:42.

straight through. Vogel will have to go on the outside. She has shown

:36:43.:36:46.

great speed here and that was more like it from her. I think Anna

:36:47.:36:53.

Meares was courageous to take the inside line. She got control of the

:36:54.:37:00.

race. She got Vogel close in with three quarters of a lap to go. The

:37:01.:37:05.

German just had far superior acceleration. She had the height as

:37:06.:37:15.

well. Didn't panic. Did most of the overtaking in the back straight. It

:37:16.:37:19.

was already one as they hit the final bend. Anna Meares will be

:37:20.:37:25.

looking for more top end speed over the months as we get towards the

:37:26.:37:30.

Olympic Games in August. She believes there is more to come. She

:37:31.:37:36.

was set back after that training injury. A good win therefore Vogel.

:37:37.:37:46.

She is one race away from claiming the bronze medal. Having won the

:37:47.:37:50.

sprint title over the last couple of years. We are heading for the first

:37:51.:37:57.

gold medal match up. Whatever happens, we will have our first ever

:37:58.:38:02.

women's world sprint champion from China. We see them getting ready in

:38:03.:38:08.

the centre now as we watch these pictures of Anna Meares. Luckily for

:38:09.:38:16.

us, wearing different helmets. Often they were the same skin suits,

:38:17.:38:19.

coloured shoes and gloves as well. Zhong has the white helmet on.

:38:20.:38:45.

Junhong Lin has got the black. We said it was a bit of a surprise that

:38:46.:38:51.

it was an all Chinese final. But it is not as though they are known as

:38:52.:38:59.

track sprinters. Junhong Lin won the bronze medal two years ago. They

:39:00.:39:03.

have been there or thereabouts and on the podium but just not winning

:39:04.:39:09.

the world title itself. One of them will become the world champion.

:39:10.:39:13.

Three laps and it is the best of three final. The sprint is very much

:39:14.:39:25.

where they have shone. Specifically, the women's competitions. It was

:39:26.:39:31.

only a matter of time before they both make the final. After

:39:32.:39:36.

disappointment in the team sprint where they were relegated, what a

:39:37.:39:40.

fantastic way to come back, guaranteeing yourself gold and

:39:41.:39:47.

silver. The nation is going to get gold and silver but for them it is

:39:48.:39:52.

all about individuals. The rider at the front is Zhong. Junhong Lin

:39:53.:40:00.

right behind her. They will know each other so well from constantly

:40:01.:40:05.

training together. It is one of the things that brings on a squad. When

:40:06.:40:10.

training partners are gold medal standard every day. Now very slowly

:40:11.:40:21.

increased pace. It will begin to unfurl shortly as they go into the

:40:22.:40:33.

last lap. Junhong Lin is gaining a little but there is daylight between

:40:34.:40:38.

them. Zhong holds an as they go to the line by half a wheel. The first

:40:39.:40:45.

win goes to Zhong who led from the front. Zhong Tianshi potentially one

:40:46.:40:59.

ride away from being world champion. Even waited down the back straight

:41:00.:41:09.

to try and accelerate but it is a short straight and there is not a

:41:10.:41:13.

lot of room to do anything. She gave herself room. Still not flat stick.

:41:14.:41:27.

Timing it to arrive a little early. Already needed to be at a higher

:41:28.:41:34.

speed. I don't think it is going to be an easy ride. Far from home and

:41:35.:41:41.

hosed. Not much in it between the pair of them. It is Zhong Tianshi

:41:42.:41:54.

who leads in the race for gold. How much is sprinting about the

:41:55.:41:57.

individual and how much about the kit? There is no doubt that the kit

:41:58.:42:03.

makes a difference. Compared that to a steel bike with normal clothing.

:42:04.:42:08.

There would be a huge difference. But at the top level, thousands of a

:42:09.:42:14.

second can make a difference. All we are trying to do is optimise

:42:15.:42:18.

everything. The bikes and Beckett are part of that. If you want to use

:42:19.:42:25.

the hashtag, you can get in touch with us. The Italian women pulled

:42:26.:42:33.

out of 18 pursued due to a puncture. Punches can happen at any time. You

:42:34.:42:41.

cannot change your bike in the back straight. It is a mishap. Sometimes

:42:42.:42:46.

you get a restart if it happens in the first 500 metres. If you are a

:42:47.:42:55.

team of three of the four riders have to finish. It is just one of

:42:56.:43:01.

those things. In the points race, we saw a chap pointing. Pointing

:43:02.:43:12.

because... The umpire is pointing at the head of the race. You get riders

:43:13.:43:17.

lapping the field and it can be difficult to point out the head of

:43:18.:43:23.

the race. It is important because points are available at every

:43:24.:43:28.

sprint. Lots of people said that they saw Laura Trott cycling back to

:43:29.:43:34.

her hotel. They'll do come in on bikes, don't they? We like to cycle

:43:35.:43:45.

back, it is a way to clear your head. A bit of fresh air. Why walk

:43:46.:43:57.

when you can cycle? Why sit when you can lie down? That the cycling

:43:58.:44:02.

mantra. Jason Kenny is coming into the big final. The maxi final as

:44:03.:44:09.

opposed to the mini final. Places one to six. In the line-up, Ed

:44:10.:44:16.

Dawkins from New Zealand has a W by his name. He received a warning in

:44:17.:44:23.

the semifinal for a minor infringement. Not enough to be

:44:24.:44:29.

disqualified but enough if he does it again he will be disqualified. It

:44:30.:44:38.

is a yellow card. If you make a small mistake and get relegated, he

:44:39.:44:43.

will kick himself. He has to be 100% clean. It is an event where there is

:44:44.:44:49.

a lot of barging and bumping. It will be in his mind that he has to

:44:50.:44:54.

be squeaky clean. You have been incredibly strong in your

:44:55.:44:57.

predictions. Jason Kenny's chances in the keirin?

:44:58.:45:03.

My heart says he will win it, my head says leg, he has a history of

:45:04.:45:16.

losing when it counts. In the Keirin, I beat Levy in 2012 and at

:45:17.:45:24.

the Olympics. He is so fast and so capable, but I think that Jason has

:45:25.:45:28.

the magic touch at the moment. If he can have one last big effort, Key

:45:29.:45:32.

knows this is it, no matter what happens. It is not like the Sprint

:45:33.:45:36.

where it is best of three, if he gets it right he is a double world

:45:37.:45:39.

champion and he will be up to this. It has less when you have a gold

:45:40.:45:41.

medal in the bag and you know it is the last event and a home

:45:42.:45:58.

crowd? Without a doubt, Matty Glazer tried to come back in the caring,

:45:59.:46:01.

but he was out in the first round. He has done an incredible job to

:46:02.:46:03.

keep everything crossed, and brought it home. In the final of the men's

:46:04.:46:06.

keirin, a they go. That was a short of Kellermann of

:46:07.:46:09.

the Czech Republic, Sam Webster, 18 sprint gold medallist. -- 18 sprint.

:46:10.:46:19.

We have Francois Pervis in this race, he won the World Championship

:46:20.:46:22.

last year and the year before, he has not made it into the final this

:46:23.:46:24.

time. Here comes the Denny Mike -- the derny bike. Then it is a

:46:25.:46:38.

free for all. This is a gutsy thing to do for a

:46:39.:46:53.

World Championship, wearing that jacket. We will keep an eye as they

:46:54.:46:57.

get underway, Webster leads them. Sam Webster is at the front, the

:46:58.:47:01.

Commonwealth sprint champion, winning the title in Glasgow a

:47:02.:47:06.

couple of years ago, 24 years old. Part of a strong New Zealand track

:47:07.:47:11.

squad. One of the better nations in world track cycling. Across the

:47:12.:47:15.

board in the men's and women's teams. The men's team sprint squad

:47:16.:47:19.

are very impressive, second in the line at the moment is the Russian

:47:20.:47:30.

Shurshin. Francois Pervis has had a disappointing championship so far. A

:47:31.:47:34.

former world champion, it is hard to know how he can become motivated for

:47:35.:47:38.

a minor final when he should be fighting it out for gold medals. He

:47:39.:47:41.

was so dominant the last couple of years, when we went to Cali a couple

:47:42.:47:46.

of years ago, he wonder Keirin, the sprint and the kilo, and last year

:47:47.:47:52.

he won the kilo again and the Keirin, he is a six time world

:47:53.:47:55.

champion but he has not been a factor this time. He has a lot to do

:47:56.:48:03.

before we get to Rio. Speed is higher than earlier. Max is out, as

:48:04.:48:07.

you mentioned in this competition, they have four laps to go. Webster

:48:08.:48:18.

is at the front, Shurshin in second. The man from Azerbaijan in third.

:48:19.:48:30.

Francois Pervis is at the back in the Navy. He is thinking about

:48:31.:48:37.

coming around the outside, everyone is spreading out, there is room to

:48:38.:48:44.

raise, France what purposes at the back, Webster will try to take it

:48:45.:48:48.

all the way, they have two laps to go. -- France while Purvis. Shurshin

:48:49.:48:57.

in second, as Kellermann tries to go around the outside and play himself

:48:58.:49:02.

in the frame. Webster is in the box seat, as Shurshin of Russia tries to

:49:03.:49:07.

take him on, we'll to wheel, elbow to elbow. Shurshin tries to go the

:49:08.:49:11.

long way around against the kiwi, he manages but in the last moment he

:49:12.:49:17.

was put to the line by the rider of Azerbaijan. Perfect timing from him.

:49:18.:49:24.

He takes it on the line, as you can see, by less than half a wheel.

:49:25.:49:38.

Webster did as a substitute derny. France while Purvis never got on in

:49:39.:49:45.

those terms, he did not participate. -- Pervis. As early as the first

:49:46.:49:49.

round, in his initial right committee sat on the back straight

:49:50.:49:56.

and did not contest. -- on the initial straight, he sat at the

:49:57.:50:01.

back. Webster, you could not hold first place, it seemed that Shurshin

:50:02.:50:04.

would get it, but what a burst of pace and a launch from the rider of

:50:05.:50:10.

Azerbaijan, he made an impact at the start of the race on and off the

:50:11.:50:18.

track. Making an impression in the final. That is the man of the match

:50:19.:50:23.

in the sequin jacket. I gather that is not exactly team issue. It is the

:50:24.:50:28.

first track centre, it could catch on! I will ask him where he bought

:50:29.:50:41.

it from. Omelchenko takes it. The first two over the line.

:50:42.:50:50.

Onto the final, Jason Kenny, can he make it two gold medals in these

:50:51.:50:56.

championships? Can he back up that incredible sprint final win against

:50:57.:51:00.

Matty Glazer, does he have one big race left on his legs today, it is a

:51:01.:51:08.

tough one. Eilers is the world kilometre champion. Maximillian

:51:09.:51:18.

Levy, and Wakimoto of Japan. Eddie Dawkins of New Zealand. What a

:51:19.:51:24.

field, and eight laps lay in store here. Awang and Dawkins are good at

:51:25.:51:35.

ducking and diving in this fast paced event, ducking and diving.

:51:36.:51:41.

Levy is the one with power, can he deliver for the first time when it

:51:42.:51:45.

really matters? Kenny has looked fantastic to me throughout the

:51:46.:51:49.

competition. He has ridden strategically, we have not seen him

:51:50.:51:53.

go full tilt, but now is the time to do it. He has two crossed the line

:51:54.:52:11.

first, that is for sure. Here comes the derny, and the World

:52:12.:52:14.

Championship final for 2016 is underway, six riders going for gold.

:52:15.:52:24.

Jason Kenny is in the middle of the field at the moment. Levy is in

:52:25.:52:26.

fourth place for Germany. Wakimoto of Japan is there.

:52:27.:52:45.

Six kilometres before we know who is the world Keirin champion.

:52:46.:52:52.

Dawkins, Jason Kenny, that is levy in the Black socks. Eilers, the

:52:53.:52:59.

world kilometre champion has green socks. They are different physical

:53:00.:53:06.

shapes, Levy on the wheel of Jason Kenny, in the middle of the group.

:53:07.:53:12.

As the laps takeaway and the speed rises, just waiting for a flurry of

:53:13.:53:21.

activity with half a lap to go before the derny pulls away as they

:53:22.:53:27.

josh for a position. Jason Kenny was the world champion in 2013. A silver

:53:28.:53:33.

medallist, Awang, in 2010, the bronze medal last year. Can the

:53:34.:53:38.

rider from Malaysia do better this time around? He is on the wheel of

:53:39.:53:43.

the derny bike, four laps to go halfway. One more lap before the

:53:44.:53:51.

derny pulls off, and already Dawkins is leaving space. Looking through

:53:52.:53:55.

his legs, looking behind at Kenny, Kenny is looking back to see what

:53:56.:54:03.

Levy is doing, Levy is glued to his wheel.

:54:04.:54:06.

They could try to box Kenny. Kenny does not have much room, 2.5 laps to

:54:07.:54:13.

go, Awang in front, Dawkins in black in second.

:54:14.:54:18.

Eilers and Kenny tries to force what motor out of the way. Going around

:54:19.:54:23.

the outside, Jason Kenny is in second place...

:54:24.:54:28.

Can he go round the outside of Dawkins?

:54:29.:54:31.

Up towards the line... One lap left, Jason Kenny, forced out of it.

:54:32.:54:38.

Eilers staying at the front, Dawkins in second place, Awang tries to come

:54:39.:54:42.

through on the inside, so close on the line.

:54:43.:54:46.

I think Eilers is a double world champion. Eilers just on the line.

:54:47.:54:51.

What a close finish. Jason Kenny involved and told one lap left, but

:54:52.:54:56.

look as Eilers crosses the line, Dawkins almost takes him but not

:54:57.:55:01.

quite. Awang, just as one year ago, ends with the bronze medal. What a

:55:02.:55:06.

fantastic race, unfortunately for Jason Kenny, he was boxed right at

:55:07.:55:10.

the start of the sprint, you could not find his way out. It was too far

:55:11.:55:16.

to come around the outside and he knew it. That strength and staying

:55:17.:55:24.

power of Eilers was key. He was able to start sprinting really quickly,

:55:25.:55:30.

he is able to stay with it. Bert Eilers for the second time of the

:55:31.:55:38.

week is a world champion. -- but Eilers.

:55:39.:55:41.

Congratulations to Germany, a race too far for Jason Kenny? Yes, he did

:55:42.:55:46.

not quite have the gas. To be fair to Eilers, it was a controlled ride

:55:47.:55:50.

from the front. It takes a lot to have the strength to keep going for

:55:51.:55:55.

2.5 laps, he strung them out. There was an opportunity. Jason was going

:55:56.:56:00.

backwards, Awang was on the inside, Jason had given up, you knew that

:56:01.:56:03.

nothing was going to go in his favour. But I think he ran out of

:56:04.:56:11.

gas. Awang on the inside, it is a big day for Malaysia. For Awang to

:56:12.:56:15.

win a medal, it is his bird. It is exceptional. It was tight on the

:56:16.:56:21.

line, Dawkins came back strongly. It was a classic final. Given what you

:56:22.:56:25.

were saying about how steep it is on the inside on the light blue, it was

:56:26.:56:29.

incredible control from Eilers? You had to have extreme bike handling

:56:30.:56:35.

skills to win, it is not just strength and power. But he showed he

:56:36.:56:39.

had it in the kilo. This is a big moment for him, he's coming through

:56:40.:56:43.

the ranks, the German squad is very strong, Leavy has been the daddy of

:56:44.:56:54.

the Keirin. Dawkins is flinging his bike at the line, 2000 's of a

:56:55.:57:02.

second. -- Levy. I thought there would be a crash. There was an

:57:03.:57:06.

argy-bargy between him and Dawkins. It is a shame for Jason, the toll it

:57:07.:57:11.

takes on your body, it is not just about being fit, recovery is not a

:57:12.:57:17.

problem, it is the damaged done, repeated sprint efforts, emotionally

:57:18.:57:20.

he would have been drained last night. Trying to sleep after a major

:57:21.:57:25.

championship win is not easy. I think he will look back on this

:57:26.:57:29.

week, he has to be happy. There has to come a point when the body just

:57:30.:57:34.

says, no. Why cannot do it any more. Exactly. -- I cannot do it. There

:57:35.:57:39.

comes to a point, I would do three events and it would be the last day,

:57:40.:57:45.

you can barely get out of bed, your legs are that stuff. It is the home

:57:46.:57:49.

crowd, and the occasion, it can drag you through it. But it was one race

:57:50.:57:54.

too far for Jason. He went for it, one lap out, had he been able to

:57:55.:57:57.

keep it up, you would have been in the shake-out -- he would have been

:57:58.:58:05.

in the shake-up. Eilers was driving, if he was in front fractionally,

:58:06.:58:08.

Jason could have been on the black line in control. Dawkins, Awang on

:58:09.:58:14.

the inside, then Jason had waved a white flag. It was so strong. It is

:58:15.:58:19.

hard to explain how tough it is to hold out for 2.5 laps like Eilers

:58:20.:58:24.

did, that was a cracking time. You had to stay in your shape so much,

:58:25.:58:28.

Sarah, as you get tired it is going to go a bit as well? You can see the

:58:29.:58:32.

form of the riders, everyone has their own style. The form of the

:58:33.:58:37.

German rider, it reminds me of how you used to ride, it had very strong

:58:38.:58:42.

kilo rider, he holds everyone. Absolutely superb performance from

:58:43.:58:46.

him. We are getting a lot of questions from people watching

:58:47.:58:49.

cycling, some for the first time. Tim Norris wants to know, even

:58:50.:58:53.

though Chris was a sprinter, did he or does he still go for long

:58:54.:58:58.

leisurely bike rides, or was it all short burst work? When I was

:58:59.:59:03.

training as an athlete, we would have won- two hours of flat rides,

:59:04.:59:09.

easy gears, spilling the legs, and active recovery. But three or four

:59:10.:59:13.

blocks of the year, we do a week of aerobic conditioning, in Majorca, in

:59:14.:59:20.

the hills. For the big guys, the sprinters, they can do well in the

:59:21.:59:24.

hills, bearing in mind we are not designed for endurance. But now, I

:59:25.:59:29.

love it. The riders love these bikes. On the

:59:30.:59:37.

track, Kristina Vogel 's on the second leg at Hasbro.

:59:38.:59:41.

Taking it convincingly? Yes, we felt coming into the

:59:42.:59:44.

championship that Vogel was the rider to beat, she was the

:59:45.:59:48.

favourite, and probably, the likely winner. It has not proven to be so,

:59:49.:59:57.

we certainly saw her coming back to the kind of form that we were

:59:58.:00:00.

expecting to see in the first ride against Anna Meares. She has her

:00:01.:00:04.

hands for here in trying to stay alive in this bronze medal match. It

:00:05.:00:09.

would have hit her morale hard. She was a convincing winner. Even

:00:10.:00:22.

She made her way around to bankings but it wasn't enough. Kristina

:00:23.:00:44.

Vogel, the world sprint champion for the past two years. Part of a

:00:45.:00:57.

fantastic team sprint duo. We are watching with half a night on the

:00:58.:01:02.

future. Right now it is the World Championships. Kristina Vogel is

:01:03.:01:09.

going to ride from the front. She has decided that she wants to be

:01:10.:01:14.

quite assertive. Anna Meares buzzing around. Kristina Vogel looking to

:01:15.:01:21.

make sure that the bronze medal as hers. Fighting all the way. In the

:01:22.:01:28.

end, well beaten. Kristina Vogel didn't get the colour she was

:01:29.:01:33.

looking for. She will be on the podium. A very worthy winner of the

:01:34.:01:38.

Bronze medal match. It will be interesting to see. We know that

:01:39.:01:42.

Fogel will be up there when the Olympics come around. It will be

:01:43.:01:48.

interesting to see whether Anna Meares can continue to improve and

:01:49.:01:51.

step up after the problems that she has had with injury. She has come

:01:52.:01:58.

back here and acquitted herself well. Not on the podium, her normal

:01:59.:02:06.

position but coming fast. A few months from now she will be on

:02:07.:02:09.

another level again. Now, a real threat. She will head back to

:02:10.:02:17.

Australia with a silver medal from the women's keirin final. It is the

:02:18.:02:23.

sprint crown that has gone for the German. Now we wait for what could

:02:24.:02:30.

be the decisive match up in the all Chinese final. Kristina Vogel enjoys

:02:31.:02:37.

her lap of honour. Victory in straight rides for her. The two

:02:38.:02:48.

riders from China just about to come up onto the track. Vogel could

:02:49.:02:55.

disappear back into the track centre shortly. Junhong Lin has it all to

:02:56.:03:02.

do. In the back home it at the bottom of the track. Zhong Tianshi

:03:03.:03:12.

led all the way in that first heat. It was still close. Not anywhere

:03:13.:03:17.

near as clear-cut as the previous match where there was a big physical

:03:18.:03:22.

difference between the two. We are, a lot more finesse involved. Last

:03:23.:03:28.

chance for the rider with the Black album it. Junhong Lin. Zhong Tianshi

:03:29.:03:35.

already has a silver and bronze in the sprint in last couple of years.

:03:36.:03:39.

Can she come on the set in the next few minutes? Or will it go to a

:03:40.:03:48.

decider as the men's final did. Standard steady start. It is filmed

:03:49.:03:56.

by our cameraman on a Segway, steering with his knees while he

:03:57.:04:01.

carries the camera. Worthy of mention for the level of skill. How

:04:02.:04:06.

grateful he will be that they are going particularly slowly on this

:04:07.:04:12.

lap. Sometimes, they are racing to keep up, even on the opening lap. It

:04:13.:04:18.

helps to keep alongside the athletes. In the white helmet is

:04:19.:04:27.

Zhong Tianshi. She is leading 1-0. If she wins this race, the title is

:04:28.:04:33.

hers. They are obliged for the first half lap to proceed at walking pace.

:04:34.:04:40.

I have never seen written down who's walking pace it is. Certainly going

:04:41.:04:48.

at comfortable Segway pace. They slowly head towards the finishing

:04:49.:04:52.

straight. Three quarters of the way through the first lap of three.

:04:53.:05:01.

These two riders know each other strengths and weaknesses so well.

:05:02.:05:06.

They must ride together all the time. It is the fraction of a second

:05:07.:05:14.

reaction time. It is who deploys them quickly enough that makes all

:05:15.:05:19.

the difference here. There is an element of luck. It is going to be a

:05:20.:05:28.

steady one. Only a lap and a half remaining. The speed at last starts

:05:29.:05:35.

to pick up. They really were creeping around the track. Zhong

:05:36.:05:42.

Tianshi gained the height and forced the speed to increase. Junhong Lin

:05:43.:05:51.

takes it from the front. She has to win this race. Already, she has lost

:05:52.:05:58.

ground to Zhong Tianshi who is going to win the world title here. China's

:05:59.:06:04.

first-ever women's sprint world champion. What a decisive, clear-cut

:06:05.:06:11.

victory it was. In straight rides, in style, gold to Zhong Tianshi. A

:06:12.:06:18.

muted celebration in the centre. They will be deeply pleased. Junhong

:06:19.:06:28.

Lin made a mistake with a lap to go. She got into the right position but

:06:29.:06:32.

can it early enough and allowed herself to be swamped on the back

:06:33.:06:39.

straight. It was all over. That acceleration inside the last three

:06:40.:06:45.

quarters of a lap. Zhong Tianshi totally committed. That is the

:06:46.:06:49.

advantage of being at the back. You get to choose when you accelerate

:06:50.:06:54.

and your competitor might not see it coming. As decisive a victory as you

:06:55.:07:02.

will ever see in a World Championship match. Another rider to

:07:03.:07:08.

keep an eye on in the summer. It is not all about Anna Meares and

:07:09.:07:12.

Kristina Vogel. The world champion going into the Olympics is Zhong

:07:13.:07:18.

Tianshi from China. They will take confidence from that. At last, they

:07:19.:07:24.

have got the reward year and it will give them confidence running into

:07:25.:07:28.

the Olympics. She will be happier than she was the other day when she

:07:29.:07:33.

ended up with a silver medal in the team sprint. Disqualified and ended

:07:34.:07:39.

up losing to Russia. At the end of the championship, the sprint squad

:07:40.:07:44.

are all smiles. Gold and silver in the bag in the women's sprint.

:07:45.:07:50.

Everybody has a flag this year. Have you noticed? Apart from the

:07:51.:07:57.

organisers who have put the flags on the scoreboards rather than have

:07:58.:08:02.

actual flags. Maybe they have stolen the flags. A good reception from the

:08:03.:08:13.

London crowd. In the end, no strong British interest in the women's

:08:14.:08:18.

sprint. We were spoiled for so many years with Victoria Pendleton. And

:08:19.:08:25.

Becky James who followed in her tracks winning the title in Minsk

:08:26.:08:29.

but she has had a couple of years out with injury and is only just

:08:30.:08:34.

beginning to come back now. We will see Becky James competing in this

:08:35.:08:38.

event in the summer. I have every confidence that she will continue to

:08:39.:08:46.

progress in leaps and bounds. You see the coach giving them a hug

:08:47.:08:54.

there. Well done to them. His hand is in plaster after he smashed it on

:08:55.:08:59.

his table after being disqualified. He broke bones in his hand. A former

:09:00.:09:07.

French sprinter who is now coaching the Chinese. The frustration when

:09:08.:09:11.

the athletes don't do what they are supposed to. At least, he is smiling

:09:12.:09:19.

now. Is the Chinese team stronger in the women than the men? Yes. They

:09:20.:09:25.

made a big push for Beijing in the team sprint for the men but they

:09:26.:09:29.

have never really hit the heights. They have one or two guys in the top

:09:30.:09:36.

15 or 20. Let's have another look at that final. It seemed as if what

:09:37.:09:44.

ever Junhong Lin did, Zhong Tianshi had her covered. She knew she had

:09:45.:09:51.

the legs on her. She came passed quite easily in the back straight

:09:52.:09:56.

and had nothing to respond with. There was daylight between them at

:09:57.:10:00.

the finish. Their kit would be identical. There is not much

:10:01.:10:07.

difference between the teams in the kit. And it can work differently

:10:08.:10:10.

with different riders and their shapes. It is not like Formula 1.

:10:11.:10:17.

The equipment is important and it is not the be all and end all. There

:10:18.:10:24.

are 200 checks going on with the bikes. There was a junior riders

:10:25.:10:32.

Mike found at the junior world cyclo-cross riders which had an

:10:33.:10:37.

electric motor hidden inside it. They still haven't got to the bottom

:10:38.:10:42.

of who did it. You can't do it by yourself. The extent to which Linux

:10:43.:10:52.

is involved. I spoke to Chris Boardman about it. He doesn't think

:10:53.:10:58.

it is widespread. If it wasn't serious, it would be hilarious. It

:10:59.:11:04.

seems crazy. What satisfaction would you get from winning a race with an

:11:05.:11:10.

engine? It is referred to as mechanical doping. It could carry a

:11:11.:11:18.

lifetime ban. It is very calculator. It is using something that you know

:11:19.:11:22.

that your comp editors don't have. It will give you more wattage. There

:11:23.:11:33.

is a famous clip of a female cyclist who had this. A Belgian rider

:11:34.:11:39.

through past of one of the best riders in the world on a climb. Then

:11:40.:11:45.

people started to ask questions. It was found that the World

:11:46.:11:49.

Championships a few weeks ago. It is really sad because it is not

:11:50.:11:52.

something you want to have to think about. Simon Brotherton has been

:11:53.:12:00.

really careful not to say, " switches on the turbo" or" using

:12:01.:12:14.

their engine". It is the athletes and not the bikes that win most of

:12:15.:12:25.

the time. Here is Simon to take us through the medals. COMMENTATOR: It

:12:26.:12:34.

was a little bit like watching Chris in the keirin final. Just powering

:12:35.:12:41.

to the front. Saying, if you are going to win this race, you have to

:12:42.:12:48.

get past me. Nine times out of ten they didn't when Chris was riding.

:12:49.:12:56.

Same here. Really fast and with the stamina that comes from a kilo

:12:57.:13:03.

background. The advantage of being at the front, you are expending more

:13:04.:13:07.

power but you get to do it at your own pace. If you can do it, that's

:13:08.:13:16.

why you can perform consistently. The second time Ed Dawkins has got

:13:17.:13:19.

really close in the men's keirin final. Stuck with silver again. Two

:13:20.:13:27.

thousandths of a second. This appears to be the standard gap at

:13:28.:13:35.

this World Championships. The same gap as in the first ride in the

:13:36.:13:39.

final of the men's sprint. For the second time this week the German

:13:40.:13:45.

here is his name called out as world champion. He has backed up his win

:13:46.:13:52.

in the kilometre time trial with a win in the keirin as well. The

:13:53.:14:03.

jersey presented by Brian Cookson. Just about managing to do the zip

:14:04.:14:10.

up, despite the neck muscles. It was a classic keirin final. The rider

:14:11.:14:19.

from Malaysia on the podium for the second time. Awang has a silver and

:14:20.:14:33.

two bronze medals. He brings flamboyance to the event. Leave the

:14:34.:14:40.

slightest gap and he is in it. As Chris said, you expect something to

:14:41.:14:46.

explode when he is around. He is just constantly even that their

:14:47.:14:52.

speed looking for opportunities. If he can't find one, he makes one. And

:14:53.:14:56.

the national anthem of Germany. His second gold of the week, Germany

:14:57.:15:59.

now have three, but they have the same number of medals as Great

:16:00.:16:03.

Britain, a total of eight, Britain tops the medal table by one having

:16:04.:16:10.

got four golds to Germany's three. Eilers, Dawkins and Awang are your

:16:11.:16:15.

podium. STUDIO: Can I ask about the rainbow

:16:16.:16:19.

jersey? How come it is a thing in cycling, what is its background? It

:16:20.:16:25.

is as iconic as the yellow jersey in the Tour de France, you are a world

:16:26.:16:30.

champion, once you've done that, you have the bands, you can put them on

:16:31.:16:34.

the arms of your race kit. Is that only in the races that you have one?

:16:35.:16:39.

Yes, in the events that you are the world champion in. They have

:16:40.:16:42.

regulations and subsequently, in recent years, it is recognised that

:16:43.:16:48.

when you have the pride and honour of wearing the rainbow jersey for

:16:49.:16:51.

the next 12 months and to defend that, hopefully in one year's time,

:16:52.:16:55.

I could be wrong but if you imagine those bands as five individual

:16:56.:17:01.

rings, it is supposed to reflect the five continents, like Olympic rings,

:17:02.:17:05.

but made into bands around your chest and arms. What have you done

:17:06.:17:08.

with your jerseys? The last one I gave to my mum and dad with the

:17:09.:17:13.

medal, it's framed in their home, the rest are in my drawers, it

:17:14.:17:20.

sounds a bit rubbish! You wear them. When? When you are training. Some

:17:21.:17:26.

riders don't like to wear those jerseys when they are the world

:17:27.:17:30.

champion because they feel like there is the pressure of being world

:17:31.:17:35.

champion with the jersey on, and but I love that feeling. It is your

:17:36.:17:40.

chance to wear the jersey through history, look at the fees before you

:17:41.:17:44.

who have won it, it is the same as what I wore all those years ago. It

:17:45.:17:47.

is part of your history, you've made your mark on the sport. It is the

:17:48.:17:51.

five colours of the continents, black is not in the rainbow!

:17:52.:17:57.

Absolutely. It is amazing to have the jersey, I've worn mine every

:17:58.:18:03.

single day for training. Do you? Absolutely, I wore mine this

:18:04.:18:07.

morning, my rainbow shorts. You get the shorts as well? Depending on the

:18:08.:18:11.

team, my team, and part owner in it, we made shorts for me having a

:18:12.:18:17.

rainbow jersey for the time trials on the road. When I am on the road,

:18:18.:18:22.

I wear the rainbow bounds. -- rainbow bands. Do you have rainbow

:18:23.:18:26.

pyjamas crushed and Mark I will get a one C. Jason Kenny is going home

:18:27.:18:37.

with a jersey -- onesie. He spoke to Jill Douglas. You could not make it

:18:38.:18:44.

a two, what happened? You know, I did not have the legs to take it on

:18:45.:18:50.

against all of those fresh guys. I was gambling and trying to get a

:18:51.:18:55.

wheel. I thought I had the winning one, in Eilers, but then I could not

:18:56.:19:01.

get down to the bottom line. I was hung out to dry. You were on the hip

:19:02.:19:05.

of Dawkins at one point, you did not have that firepower. You had a long

:19:06.:19:09.

day yesterday, I know how broken you were after taking that gold medal.

:19:10.:19:14.

It is a big hip to be on, Dawkins. I ran out of legs quick. I expected

:19:15.:19:19.

that, that is why I was trying to get through the race as efficiently

:19:20.:19:22.

as possible. I was pleased when I got to the final. I got there quite

:19:23.:19:28.

efficiently. I tried to write the final as efficiently as possible

:19:29.:19:32.

while still trying to win. -- ride the final. I could not get down to

:19:33.:19:36.

the Black line. I was hung out to dry. Looking at your World

:19:37.:19:43.

Championships, to win the sprint, and getting into the Keirin final,

:19:44.:19:47.

it is a positive way? Getting those results before the weekend, I would

:19:48.:19:51.

have taken them, without question. But for me, and for the whole of the

:19:52.:19:58.

sprinter lads, we are fast enough to be competitive, we can take it to

:19:59.:20:02.

these guys and win titles. It is a positive with five months to go

:20:03.:20:06.

until the one we really want to win. So positive. Looking at the rest of

:20:07.:20:10.

the world, the New Zealanders are always strong. The Germans look

:20:11.:20:13.

strong, the French haven't been at the races this week, have they?

:20:14.:20:18.

There have been a few signs, they have not, the thing is, you can

:20:19.:20:22.

never write them off. They have a lot of depth and strength in

:20:23.:20:26.

numbers. By the Olympics, I'm sure they will be back on top form. Thank

:20:27.:20:30.

you for everything this week, well done.

:20:31.:20:33.

Thank you. Jason Kenny will go home satisfied with his work this week?

:20:34.:20:37.

More than satisfied, he will be delighted. Not only does he have a

:20:38.:20:41.

rainbow jersey but he has the confidence of knowing he has the

:20:42.:20:44.

pace to mix with the top guys in the world. There's more to come. The

:20:45.:20:49.

team sprint, I think that was seen as a failure but in many ways, I

:20:50.:20:53.

think it was a success. They have the fastest man in the world in the

:20:54.:20:56.

first lap, Jason is the fastest man in the world in the second lap when

:20:57.:21:02.

he is right. Callum skimmer Michael Cole Skinner or Lewis Oliver, he

:21:03.:21:06.

will be the next two finish it off. -- Karen Skinner or

:21:07.:21:10.

. The tennis is over running on BBC

:21:11.:21:15.

One, eight crucial point in the Davis Cup match between Great

:21:16.:21:19.

Britain and Japan. At 4:30pm, we will hand over to Sue Barker here on

:21:20.:21:24.

the tennis, the cycling will switch to the red button. We are already

:21:25.:21:28.

there, if you want to carry on with the cycling, you won't miss anything

:21:29.:21:31.

at all. There is a delay.

:21:32.:21:35.

You can go now. It gives us the chance to answer your questions,

:21:36.:21:40.

this is about the derny bike, you can see in the Keirin, the driver is

:21:41.:21:45.

on the bike, he has a black helmet, it looks like, call work, how do you

:21:46.:21:49.

get that job and why does he never smile?

:21:50.:21:57.

It is a very serious job. You have to take it incrementally and make

:21:58.:22:03.

sure you deliver the riders take regulations beat. It's an important

:22:04.:22:08.

job but I have no idea how he gets that job. I've no idea, I think

:22:09.:22:15.

historically, each velodrome has a group of Denny riders who are

:22:16.:22:22.

experienced. I think it comes -- derny.

:22:23.:22:30.

It is down to who get the job -- who gets the job and sticks with it. A

:22:31.:22:35.

lot of cheering for this iconic pairing of Bradley Wiggins and Mark

:22:36.:22:40.

Cavendish, teaming up together in the Madison. 200 laps in this, 16

:22:41.:22:46.

pairs, in an ideal world, do you power and endurance rider with one

:22:47.:22:54.

that can sprint? -- pair. You dear, Bradley Wiggins traditionally can

:22:55.:22:59.

sprint but Mark Cavendish is the one that you would throw in.

:23:00.:23:03.

This is the finale event, it will take about one hour, you can see all

:23:04.:23:08.

of that on the red button. They are very different in

:23:09.:23:13.

character. The rest of the team refers to Bradley Wiggins as the

:23:14.:23:17.

boss, he has become a leader, do you think he always has been the leader?

:23:18.:23:21.

I think he's an individual who leads from the front. I think he has

:23:22.:23:26.

become a leader because of his actions and performances, and his

:23:27.:23:29.

results. It is not only personality but how you lead from the front.

:23:30.:23:33.

That is what good team leaders do. Looking at the line-up for the

:23:34.:23:38.

Madison, who are the teams to beat? It is very hard to call. It could be

:23:39.:23:43.

a copout but there are seven or eight who could win. So much can go

:23:44.:23:48.

right or wrong in the race, crashes happen. You put your money on at

:23:49.:23:53.

least one crash in this. It is chaos, amazing to watch. As an

:23:54.:23:57.

athlete or a rider, it is not bad to win the race but from the outside

:23:58.:24:01.

looking in, bodies are everywhere. One rider in the team is racing at

:24:02.:24:05.

all times, the other recovers, they change over with a hand sling, you

:24:06.:24:10.

can transfer energy so they don't slow down on the change. It is

:24:11.:24:14.

essentially a points race for teams of two. We were talking to Victoria

:24:15.:24:18.

Pendleton earlier, she said how exciting it feels, the hand sling.

:24:19.:24:22.

You get powered forward. People use it in training at the end of

:24:23.:24:26.

sessions, doing practice. Some of my team-mates use it on the road. I'm

:24:27.:24:38.

yet to be slung in, I can't hold onto the bars on the other side, I

:24:39.:24:41.

would fall off. When it is done properly and welcome it is poetry in

:24:42.:24:44.

motion. This race will start slowly. The tennis is coming over onto BBC

:24:45.:24:49.

Two, if you want to watch it in its completion, you can on the red

:24:50.:24:51.

button. You can do that now. Emily, aged

:24:52.:24:56.

nine, she wants to know what it is like standing on the gold medal

:24:57.:25:00.

podium? Do you know what? It is pretty good. There is nothing like

:25:01.:25:07.

it. I miss it. When you see with the home riders stepping on the podium,

:25:08.:25:14.

receiving the gold medal, it is all worthwhile. You remember all of the

:25:15.:25:17.

tough times, all of those ups and downs, when you are up against the

:25:18.:25:21.

best in the world, nothing like it. That is the feeling that Mark

:25:22.:25:24.

Cavendish and Bradley Wiggins are heading forth. Here comes the

:25:25.:25:30.

Madison. -- heading for. COMMENTATOR: A final swig of drink

:25:31.:25:34.

for Mark Cavendish, reunited on track with Bradley Wiggins. World

:25:35.:25:40.

champions in 2008, they did not have their way in Beijing in the Olympic

:25:41.:25:44.

Games. So Bradley Wiggins is there ready to go. They have the pedigree

:25:45.:25:49.

and we all know they have the ability. They have an incredibly

:25:50.:25:54.

tough opposition to overcome, they are marked men in a race like this.

:25:55.:25:58.

There are wonderful bike riders to look out for, defending world

:25:59.:26:04.

champions, France. European champions from Spain. Belgium, they

:26:05.:26:08.

won the bronze medal a year ago. Columbia, one of their riders from

:26:09.:26:14.

the Omnium points race, he successfully defended that world

:26:15.:26:18.

title, he is racing with Jordan Para, they are former world junior

:26:19.:26:23.

champions. Look out for Columbia, they are all in white.

:26:24.:26:36.

Christian will explain how this race works. Are you sitting come to be?

:26:37.:26:43.

Tag team wrestling is often one of the similes that is drawn in this

:26:44.:26:51.

event. They must touch each other to change team members in this race.

:26:52.:26:56.

They ride at the top of the track at a slower speed, waiting for others

:26:57.:27:01.

to catch up. Normally there will be a hand sling, they grab their hands

:27:02.:27:04.

and transfer energy from one rider to the other. The French pairing are

:27:05.:27:09.

on the attack now. If they gain a lap in this race, they are one up

:27:10.:27:20.

ahead. It trumps every thing else. It does not matter how any points

:27:21.:27:23.

you have, if you are one up ahead, you are in the lead. That is what

:27:24.:27:36.

France are trying to do now. The world scratch race champion from a

:27:37.:27:39.

few years ago, a two-time Madison world champion, France are on the

:27:40.:27:44.

front foot, being asserted at the start of this race. Great Britain,

:27:45.:27:47.

three quarters of the way back through the field at the moment. A

:27:48.:27:51.

long way to go, this race will last for one hour, an early lap to put

:27:52.:28:00.

themselves in pole position. So Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish

:28:01.:28:08.

are racing. If you want to continue to follow

:28:09.:28:10.

the Madison, we are going to the red button.

:28:11.:28:17.

Now, we are going over to the Davis Cup.

:28:18.:28:21.

We are leaving BBC One but welcoming queue was on BBC Two to this cup tie

:28:22.:28:25.

between Great Britain and
