Copenhagen Track World Cup (February 13-15)

[Skip Madness]

Results according to Sporting Life:

• Team Sky+ (Chris Hoy, Jason Kenny, Jamie Staff) won gold in the team sprint
• Team GB (Matt Crampton, David Daniell, Ross Edgar) came fourth in the same event
• Victoria Pendleton won the sprint despite falling in one of her semi-final races
• Lizzie Armitstead won the scratch race
• Jo Rowsell came third in the individual pursuit

No news about the men's points race.

I cannot wait to see Armitstead in the top-level points and scratch races. She has been immense in the World Cup.

Vicky fell after the line I think. Normal service was resumed thereafter.

Phinney so close to Bradley's times now.

Out of interest/obsseiveness/boredom (you choose) I glanced through his IP time last year - he was 16 seconds or near enough up today. Not bad for a teenager.

Bad luck to Helen and Anna Blyth. Still not bad for helen in her first ever appearance for GB at this level.

Good performance again from Helen in the Keirin. Not a good day though for Peter Kennaugh.

Aren't Trackies hard!
