Just so everyone knows how the sprint will be done.
I let the riders go slowly to the veldrome then dot them at 8% making them stop. Then whoever is the lead rider is set on a slow pace, then the opponent follows them. I crank them up to 99% and at 3km to go, the first rider sprints, and then with 1.5km to go - the 2nd rider goes.
In the event of a 1-1 tie, it goes down to how much they beat their opponent by. The gaps are set at 0, so the race results will record how many seconds difference there is. If there is less than a 3 second difference or if they are still even then there will be a 3rd round, with both lining up at 3km to go and sprinting flat out all the way.

Just one question, how are you controlling 2 different teams?

I'm not, its all one team.
Theyre all riding for the same team - they have different jerseys as I set the national team jerseys as the team's national champion jerseys and made all the riders national champions.

Well Sprint stat wise, he is the equal 5th best sprinter entered in the sprint. Bos: 85 Sp, Kankovsky+Cavendish: 80 Sp, Thorsen: 78 Sp.
Thorsen got beat by Rasmussen, Markov beat Kankovsky and got lucky with the draw that he avoided Cavendish
