Team GB gets gold and silver in the Keirin thanks to Chris Hoy and Ross Edgar, and gold and bronze in the men’s individual pursuit thanks to Bradley Wiggins and Steven Burke. In the women’s qualifying for the individual pursuit Wendy Houvenagel and Rebecca Romero will be up against each other in the final tomorrow! Fantastic, that’ll be another gold and another silver then.
We really do have the most impressive track cycling team in the world at the moment, and I for one think it’s fantastic.

Fantastic ride by Wiggins there! 4:15:03 for the 4000 metres.
What a great Olympics cycling we’re having. I wonder if it’ll do much to lift cycling as a sport in the eyes of the British public? I do hope so. It would be great to see a cyclist as BBC Sports Personality of the Year after Nicole Cooke narrowly missed it a couple of years back.

Wow! 42.950, half a second quicker than next placed France! Jamie Staff has put the fastest first lap in ever.
What an awesome start to team GB’s track cycling. Roll on the golds

Fantastic ride from Emma Pooley in the women’s time trial there. Another medal for the GB women’s cycling team!

Britain gets it’s first gold! A fantastic sprint by Nicole at the end of a horrendously wet 125km road race.
A big hand to Emma Pooley for all her hard work on the front of the race too, what a great ride she had.
