 Three Track events finished today: the Points Race, Individual Pursuit and Keirin.
First of all, the Points Race was not a particularly lucrative race for most teams. Joan Llaneras took the Gold ahead of Roger Kluge and Chris Newton. No teams had picked Lllaneras or Newton, while only one, 'ACR Team', had selected Kluge.
7 teams selected the winner of the Individual Pursuit though, Bradley Wiggins. But no one picked runnerup Hayden Roulston, and the Bronze medal Steven Burke was not available to be picked - after all, Burke himself was only told that he would be riding 2 days ago!
The Keirin was the only event of the day where at least 1 team had picked the three medal winners. Chris Hoy took a dominant victory ahead of teammate Ross Edgar and Japan's Kiyofumi Nagai. Kelly, Bergemann and Tournant had also made it to the final.
'Team Schleck93' have retaken the lead as former leaders Team France fall away to 6th. With two gold medals today from Hoy and Wiggins, 'Don't Mention The War!' are now very close to the lead. The pairing of Hoy and Wiggins has also worked well for 3 other teams, who are all now in the Top 10. 'Freedom For Tibet!' are up 8 to 3rd, 'Edinburgh Road Club 'are also up 8 to 4th, while 'Britain + Belgium = mediocre placing' are up 11 places to 9th. Another big mover was 'LDF-Velingnews.com' as Wiggins and Edgar helped them rise 12 spots to 12th.
Just 2 teams are still yet to score on the Track, with 'Team "We're Going For Last Place!"' heading back in the right direction for them after a strong start. Here are the full standings:
