Track racing, Rio 2016 **spoilers**

[HF2300]

Ball & McLean set 1:02.316 in the 1000m tandem TT, leading at the moment but with some strong teams to come. Fachie still to go.

Bangma & Mulder take 2 seconds off the Germans, setting a new PR and the first ever sub-1 minute sea level 1km B TT time. Outstanding ride. Some work for Fachie to do now.

... and couldn't quite do it. Quick start, but slowed from there. Great ride by Bangma though. Ball & McLean 5th in the end.

 

[HF2300]

Wow! Astonishing bronze medal ride from Thornhill and Scott! Made the catch in 875m!

And to finish, gold and a new WR from Rolfe, Butterworth and Cundy in the team sprint. Excellent.

Highlights from the velodrome on C4 now.

Just saw Metelka's victory dance on The Last Leg. UCI will probably ban excessive celebration now.

If they do, there'll be a whole new generation of cyclists training with a mirror in front of the turbo.

Magnum P.I. is currently on the TV, with special guest appearance by Aunt Jessica. It's fair made my week.
