Britain's team sprint outfit overcame their Olympic heartbreak to win the event on the final day of competition at the third round of the World Cup in Manchester. Chris Hoy, Jason Queally and Craig Maclean - who were knocked out in the first round by eventual gold medalist Germany in Athens - posted a scorching time of 44.493 seconds to easily account for Polish trio Rafak Furman, Lukasz Kwiatkowski and Damian Zielinski, who rode 46.010 in the contest for gold and silver.

Olympic kilometre champion Hoy said the win was a boost ahead of the March world titles in Los Angeles after the team's disappointment in Athens. "It's good that we've not so much laid the ghost of Athens to rest but shown we've got the morale to come back from that," he said. "It means we're not looking back on our last performance as a defeat, we're looking back on our last performance as a victory."

Meanwhile, the Japanese team of Kazuya Narita, Yusho Oikawa and Kazunari Watanabe upset Australians Jobie Dajka, Shane Kelly and Ben Kersten to win the bronze medal.

French pair Andy Flickinger and Jerome Neuville took out the Madison title ahead of Belgians Kenny De Ketele and Wouter Van Mechelen. Germans Leif Lampater and Andreas Muller were third in a race that had its share of crashes.

Great Britain's Stephen Cummings got back in the race after he fell but he and teammate Rob Hayles had to retire when Hayles was brought down by Spanish rider Miguel Alzamora, who swerved into his path. Hayles clipped Alzamora's wheel and brought three other riders down with him as he slid from near the top of the track. There were no serious injuries but Alzamora received an official warning for a dangerous manoeuvre.

Australia's Kate Bates capped a golden meet by adding victory in the women's scratch race to her wins in the points race and individual pursuit. America's Rebecca Quinn was second in the scratch race and Virginie Moinard of France finished third.

Natalia Tsylinskaya of Belarus won the women's Keirin, with Germany's Susann Panzer taking silver and Jenny Reed of the United States the bronze.

Bourgain wins big-money invitational keirin

Frenchman Mickael Bourgain topped off a successful World Cup meet with a hefty pay cheque when he won the lucrative invitational Japanese Keirin in Manchester.

The Frenchman won gold in the sprint and silver for the in-competition Keirin and then pocketed £10,000 (€14,300, AU$25,000, US$18,700) for the invitation-only event which offered a whopping total prize pool of £45,000 (€64,000, AU$111,000, US$84,000). Australia's Shane Kelly, who finished third in the standard keirin, walked away with £8,000 for second place in the invitational event, while Bourgain's countryman, Gregory Bauge, won £6,000 for third.

Bourgain was impressive as he cruised through qualifying with a turn of speed and power that none of his opponents could match. His tactic of taking the lead early and holding on worked right throughout the following rounds and in the final, when he was able to hold off the dual Australian challenge of Kelly and Jobie Dajka. Also in the final were Andrei Vynokurov of Ukraine and Ivan Vrba from the Czech Republic.

The event was sponsored by the Japan Keirin Association in a bid to highlight the event, which is a massively popular betting sport in Japan.
