Australia's Team Toshiba has moved to the top of the team sprint standings after the third round of the UCI Track Cycling World Cup Classics raced in Cali, Colombia, over the weekend.

The Toshiba trio of Dan Ellis, Jason Niblett and Scott Sunderland posted a time of 45.072 seconds to claim the silver medal behind Germany, which won the race in 44.605 seconds. But with Toshiba's win last month in Melbourne the Australian team has now moved to the top of the World Cup standings on 22 points, two points clear of Germany. The French Cofidis team is ranked third with 18 points, after it finished third in Cali.

Niblett also lined up in the Keirin, where solid performances in the first and second rounds saw him go through to the final. Local Colombian rider Leonardo Narvaez Romero claimed the win. Niblett finished second and won the silver medal.

In the men's sprint Sunderland qualified sixth fastest, with 10.368 seconds, but he was unable to match 2008 World Championship and Olympic Games bronze medallist Mickael Bourgain (FRA - Cofidis) in the quarter finals. Sunderland made sure he scored the maximum points he could though, with a win in the ride-off for fifth to eighth places.

In the women's events developing Sydney rider Kaarle McCulloch was the seventh fastest qualifier in the sprint (11.659 seconds) but was bundled out in the quarter finals by China's Lulu Zheng. McCulloch finished in seventh place overall with the gold medal going to Lithuania's Simona Krupeckaite.

Krupeckaite also claimed the gold medal in the 500 metre time trial with a stunning ride of 33.681 seconds. Her time is the second fastest ever posted for the event. Australian Anna Meares holds the world record of 33.588 seconds. Meares set the record when she won the World Championship in Mallorca, Spain, in 2007. Meares is currently enjoying a post Olympic Games break from competition but will be back in Team Toshiba colours in 2009.

Krupeckaite also becomes only the third woman to ride under 34 seconds. Meares was the first to achieve the feat when she posted 33.952 seconds to win the gold medal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. She lowered her own record to 33.944 seconds at the Sydney World Cup in November 2006 and again rode under 34 seconds to win the gold medal in 33.869 seconds at the Sydney World Cup in November 2007.

The 2008 World Champion, Lisandra Guerra Rodriguez of Cuba is the only other woman to beat 34 seconds, which she did at the World Cup rounds in Beijing, in December 2007 (33.994 seconds) and Los Angeles in January this year (33.955 seconds).

McCulloch placed fourth in 34.616 seconds in Cali and now sits second on the World Cup standings for the 500m time trial with 15 points. She trails China's Jinjie Gong, who leads with 20 points.

The four Team Toshiba riders were the only Australians competing in Cali.
