Men's sprint qualifying and 1/8 finals
|
Theo Bos broke the Manchester Velodrome track record with a blistering time of 10.058 seconds in his qualification ride, but a touch of wheels in his 1/8 final brought him crashing down with 100m to go. He could have started again, but was slightly hurt and so elected to withdraw giving sixteenth placed qualifier, Michael Seidenbacher of Germany, a walkover to the next round.
Women's 500m final
Great Britain's Victoria Pendleton (Science in Sport) once again showed that her form is peaking nicely in time for the World Championships next month. After compatriot Anna Blyth laid down the first sub-35 second ride, the challenge was well and truly laid down. Pendleton was equal to that challenge and smashed her own British Record to record a time of 34.070 seconds and posted a warning to Australia's Anna Meares (who wasn't riding today) that her world record of 33.944 seconds is in sight - and may well fall in Mallorca next month. Yvonne Hijgenaar of the Netherlands - who rode opposite Pendleton on the back straight - managed to split the Britons and record a ride of 34.676 seconds to claim silver.
Men's team pursuit
|
"We're never happy," joked an elated Rob Hayles after the Great Britain team put on another masterclass of pursuiting in front of a highly vocal Manchester crowd. In truth, they were a bit disappointed to not be quite able to match their sub-four minute qualifying time set in the afternoon session. That time was the fastest ever ridden on the Manchester track, and just one hundredth of a second outside the British record - they had hoped to use the extra incentive of a team to chase in order to best that time.
Great Britain's first few laps were actually slower than Russia's as they seemed to struggle to get their rhythm. As soon as they did though, they quickly overhauled the slender deficit and began to reel in the team on the opposite side of the track. Rob Hayles dropped out at three kilometres - as the Russians also dropped to three - but it didn't slow them down at all and the capture was made with a few laps to go.
Great Britain's final kilometre was over a second faster than the one posted in qualifying, but they just couldn't pull back the time they lost in the opening laps and finished with a time of 4:00.296.
In the race for bronze, the British development squad, racing under the defiant drug-free message of '100% Me', built on a fantastic qualifying time to beat the more experienced Spaniards by nearly three seconds to show what strength in depth Great Britain has in pursuiting.
Men's points race
|
A frenetic points race final eventually saw victory for Russian Serguei Klimov. From the very start the attacks were going all over the place, until finally they began to stick and riders started to successfully take laps. Klimov himself managed to take three laps - one more than a sizeable group who got two - which accounted for 60 of his 77 points (riders who gain laps are awarded 20 points), but he was still able to score more points on the line than anyone else, winning three of the twelve sprints outright.
For a while the race looked like being a lot closer - until Klimov took his third lap - as Ioannis Tamouridis of Greece was making all the early moves, along with French roadman Andy Flickinger and American Michael Creed. It was a disappointing race for Recycling.co.uk's former World Champion Chris Newton, who despite getting one lap, and being active in the sprints for the entire race, was unable to steal the further laps needed to compete with the front runners.
Another disappointing ride was from world champion Peter Schepp (Netherlands), who on tonight's performance will be very lucky to hold onto his rainbow skinsuit in Majorca next month.
Women's individual pursuit
|
Proving that Great Britain is once again becoming the dominant nation in pursuit racing, the qualifying round produced an all British final as Wendy Houvenhagel (Science in Sport) broke Yvonne McGregor's ten year old British record by nearly a second, recording a time of 3:33.788. In the opposite straight, British time trial champion Rebecca Romero almost matched her by posting a time of 3:36.84. Alison Shanks (New Zealand) - in the absence of her compatriot Sarah Ulmer - posted the third best time to qualify for a bronze medal ride off against Trine Schmidt of Denmark.
Both medal finals went, as expected, to the faster qualifying women. Romero was able to hold Houvenhagel at a manageable distance in the opening laps before the more experienced rider began to pull away. Neither rider was able to reproduce their qualifying performance, on a track that seems to have slowed slightly as the evening wears on.
In the bronze medal match, Trine Schmidt was unable to match the speed of Alison Shanks and the New Zealander led comfortably from the gun, almost catching the Danish rider on the final lap.
Men's sprint
|
France's Arnaud Tournant spoiled the British party tonight with an awesome display of sprinting power. After qualifying in fourth place the Frenchman failed to lose a single match in any round.
His final match up against Great Britain's Chris Hoy - who has already won the kilometre time trial this weekend - proved to be a real, old fashioned, bruising encounter. In the first match Hoy saw that Tournant momentarily moved up above the red line and slipped inside to gain the front, but was unable to match the power of the rampant Frenchman. Their second contest was just as dramatic, as Hoy - on the front - was forced to go for it with more than a lap remaining and Tournant managed to come around him on the final bend. Ever the showman, the Frenchman made it look good with a lunge for the line, but in truth it was much more comfortable.
In the race for bronze, Japan's Kiofumi Nagai offered very little resistance to a dominant Mickaël Bougain of France. The Japanese rider advanced to this stage of the competition by virtue of the mess that Theo Bos' withdrawal made to the seedings, and his relative lack of experience showed.
Women's team sprint
|
Despite qualifying in first place, just in front of World Cup leaders the Netherlands, Great Britain's team of Anna Blyth and Shanaze Reade were unable to carry that form through to the final. It might have been different had Reade not ridden almost a full lap at race speed when she appeared to not hear the gunshots to inform her that the Dutch team had false started.
There was a fairly lengthy delay as the British mechanics dealt with a mechanical issue with Reade's bike, but she was unable to recover sufficiently in that time and the Dutch pair of Yvonne Hijgenaar and Willy Kanis demonstrated why they are the World Cup leaders (and now winners) in this relatively new discipline.
In the Bronze medal match, the French team of Sandie Clair and Virginie Cueff were outclassed by Anna Meares and Kristine Bayley of Australia. Bayley and Meares finished in a time of 33.948 - faster than their qualifying round and a time which would have beaten the Dutch in the final.
