Hoy on target for track worlds

Britain's top track sprinter Chris Hoy is happy with his form with just three months ahead of the start of the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Manchester, March 26-30, 2008. The 31-year-old from Edinburgh has already won gold medals in the Keirin events at the first two rounds of the UCI World Cup events in Sydney and Beijing this year and is feeling positive about his preparation for his big year ahead.

"It's pretty much on target," said Hoy. "It is still early in the season at the moment but every race counts in qualification for the World Championships. It is good to start the season on a high by winning a few gold medals and getting some good placings."
