World Track Champs - Day 4 Live

Day 4 in Copenhagn and as it's the weekend the action moves to the afternoon.

Shame really as I and many others will be watching CI and E3 before thinking of switching to this - but with CI due to finish about 16.00 and E3 between 16.30 - 17.00 that still leaves the Women's Sprint finals and the Madison to enjoy live

The Women's sprint races have been onesided so far as the big 4 have been kept separate in the draw - but game on today. All too difficult to call with confidence

Line up

Semi 1 - Shuang Guo (Chn) v Simona Krupeckaite (Ltu)

Semi 2 - Anna Meares (Aus) v Vicky Pendleton (Gbr)

The Mens Sprints qualifying this morning produced one or two seemingly unexpected results - in full here. Bauge qualified fastest, then Hoy. But then Hoy is beaten by Forstemann (with Hoy then having to qualify through the repercharge along with Crampton - mainly at the expense of Awang (Mal) who misses out). This means the 1/4 finals look like this:

Race 1 - Gregory Bauge (Fra) v Chris Hoy (Gbr) OMG!

Race 2 - Matt Crampton (Gbr) v Robert Forstemann (Ger)

Race 3 - Shane Perkins (Aus) v Francois Pervis (Fra)

Race 4 - Kevin Sireau (Fra) v Jason Kenny (Gbr)

The Madison line up - headed by the home crowd favourites, Meyer seeking his third gold and several old friends from the 6 days - is as follows. Expect the atmosphere in the velodrome to be boisterous throughout.
