Made it down to Manchester last Sunday for the last day of the World Cup at the Velodrome. Smashing racing, great fun. Awesome opening lap by Craig Maclean in the team sprint qualifying for a new unofficial world record...
My friend Kate unfortunately got knocked off her bike in qualifying for the points race on Friday night and didn't make the final, she's ok though.
A fairly successful weekend for the British cyclinsts all round, with a Gold and two Bronzes for Victoria Pendleton, Gold and Silver in the Kilo for Hoy and Queally, Gold in the Pursuit for Paul Manning, Gold in the Team Sprint, Bronze in the Madison, and Silver in the Team Pursuit. Craig Maclean also rounded things off with a second place in the big money Japanese Keirin.
