Impressed that he got back on his bike for the rerun. With the quality of the other teams, GB men's team pursuit will be lucky to get a bronze.

They came in 5th, about 1 second slower than the GB team. So no chance of gold or silver for them. That's a very tough break for them.

It was eventful while GB held the record for 15 minutes with a celebration crash.
