Not one to like settling for Bronze – as he’d had to do in Friday’s Team Sprint – Sir Chris Hoy delivered some memorable cycling at yesterday’s close of the Track World Cup, enrapturing home fans as he took Gold in the Keirin. His victory, along with Joanna Rowsell’s – beating New Zealand’s Alison Shanks to win the individual pursuit – meant that the host nation was left holding the lion’s share of medals at the end of the competition with four Gold, one Silver and two Bronze. All of which continues to bode well for Team GB in this Olympic year.
