Men's Team Sprint

Revenge for Britain

Having been beaten by Australia at the Commonwealth Games last month (admittedly as two separate teams), Great Britain gained some revenge in the Team Sprint by winning the World Title against the Aussies tonight. The British team of Jamie Staff, Chris Hoy and Craig Maclean had qualified fastest in the morning in a time of 44.813, better than Germany, France and Australia. However the Australians improved in the first round, beating Spain in a time of 44.779, earning them a place in the final against Britain, who were still the hot favourites with 44.575.

However the Australians couldn't match the Brits in the final. They were down 0.4 seconds after the first lap, and Dajka and Bayley tried in vain to close close the gap but could only come within 0.15 seconds of Britain's excellent time of 44.370 seconds.
