Gold medals for British cyclists

Great Britain grabbed three gold medals on the second day of the World Track Cycling Championships in Manchester.

Bradley Wiggins, who'd already won gold on his own, teamed up with Ed Clancy, Paul Manning and Geraint Thomas, to set a new record in the men's team final.

Rebecca Romero, a former Olympic rowing silver medallist, took a second gold for Britain in the individual pursuit.

And Victoria Pendleton and BMX specialist Shanaze Reade combined to beat China in the team sprint final.

In the men's team pursuit final, Britain raced around the track in three minutes 56.318 seconds to beat Denmark and smash the world record set by Australia at the 2004 Olympics.

Wiggins, who's hoping to win his third gold medal later in the week, said: "We've been preparing together since January and it's always been about us performing to the best of our ability.

"That's what gets us across the line first, we don't worry about the other teams."
