Pendleton takes seventh 500m TT title, Burke claims maiden kilo gold

Victoria Pendleton and Steven Burke claimed the opening titles at the Great British Track Championships on Tuesday night in Manchester. Pendleton (Team Sky+ HD) claimed the women's 500m time trial ahead of Jess Varnish (Halesowen A & CC) and Rebecca James (Abergavenny Road Club). Burke (100% ME) rode to an impressive victory in the men's kilo ahead of Ed Clancy (Team Halfords Bikehut) and David Daniell (Cleveland Wheelers CC).

The women's 500m time trial ran to form with Pendleton edging out her younger rivals, Varnish and James, to take her seventh British title in the event. The Olympic gold medallist recorded a time of 34.262. A week out from the opening round of the International Cycling Union's (UCI) track World Cup, it was a satisfying result for the 29-year-old.
