At last! After trying and getting so close for the last two years, Victoria Pendleton has arrived in style wearing a rainbow jersey, and even one that is a little baggy, looks fantastic on a rider who has won GB's first ever womens sprint title.Also pictured are Tamilia Abassova (Russia) and Anna Meares, two riders not afraid to give their opponents a rough ride but Victoria gave as good as he got, diving through a door that Meares was shutting on her and the young lady from Stotfold kep on going all the way to the gold medal.
Womens Sprint (Day 2)
In what can only be described as the most impressive days racing ever at a World Track Championships ( in the vain as 2002 when we won three World titles), Great Britain riders did their country and themselves proud with many outstanding performances.
Not only did we win two World titles in one evening but, there was the sensational fourth place by 18 year old Mark Cavendish in the Scratch Race, a solid sixth place by Emma Davies in the Women's Pursuit and the sprinters performing well without an luck in the Mens Sprint with Ross Edgar winning the minor final for 5th place and Craig Maclean 8th overall. The highlight though was the two World Titles for GB in the Team Pursuit and Victoria Pendleton in the Women's Sprint.
Moral was on a high in the camp after this and the other success we have had but the job wasn't finished as Victoria Pendleton had made it through to the final of the Womens Sprint. Having beaten her Russian rival before, there was a great chance of her first ever World Championship medal being a Gold one and so it proved. It wasn't easy for Victoria by any means as she had to first get past the very aggressive Anna Meares of Australia who wasn't afraid to take Victoria all over the track just like her sister Kerrie did in the last Commonwealth Games when Victoria made her International debut.
Above: Anna Meares, almost taunts Victoria to make her move and in one heat, shut the door as she dived underneath her. That time, Victoria backed off but when the Aussie tried that move again, Victoria kept on coming at her and Meares had no answer to Victoria's speed.
Victoria though, helped by Steve Peters from the GB camp, kept her focus on the Rainbow jersey and in the deciding round of the semi final she was far more positive in dealing with the physical nature of the tactics and the Aussie girl had no answer to Victoria's superior speed. 
Right: The man Shane Sutton says was the key to Victoria's win, Steve Peters, with Victoria in the GB area after she had beaten the best. The final was far more straight forward although the second sprint was ever so close and it wasn't until the score board showed the winners name that Victoria knew she was World Champion.
She came off the track speechless as the BBC's Jill Douglas asked her how it felt to be the best in the World. Victoria was speechless. At the dinner table in the hotel many hours later, and it was still sinking in Dave Brailsford, performance director for the Great Britain Cycling Team. Asked about the win by Victoria Pendleton, Brailsford said "Victoria has had the ability to win for just over a year or so. She has been able to put the whole package together on the day, and that has made a difference. She's maturing, she's learning, she is a very intelligent girl, and she is just so tenacious. She is one of the most tenacious people I have met and very brave and determined on the track, so she deserves to be the World Champion."
On the subject of the team performance as a whole, staff and riders, he explained that "we're a pretty drilled outfit, professional in what we do and we look at the detail. At times like this, it all comes together. But we're not getting complacent. Some of the results that went against us will spur us on to work harder. Keep us keen and keep us hungry. At the end of the day its about hard work and we're a team of grafters. "
Victoria Pendleton, World Women's Sprint Champion: The win by Victoria made many people happy including the girl herself. "Usually I am not stuck for words but right now I am" she said afterwards. Asked was she confident going into the final, Victoria said "not really because she has beaten me before and she also took me out of the European Championships in 2002." Talking about her semi final with Anna Meares, Victoria says "She has taken me around the boards before so I wasn't going to take anything for granted. I was a bit scared doing that ride (second ride in the semi final) and I had to really focus on what I can do because she is a very tactical rider."
"It felt a bit surreal going into the final there. I don't think I'll believe it until I do it again. I think I am very lucky and blessed with all the things I have been given like all the people I have around me on this team. Like Steve Peters, who has helped me a lot since the Olympics when I was ready to give up. Craig Maclean for doing my training and the manager Shane. And my dad (Max) for telling me I could do it."
In qualifying, Victoria was not quite as fast as she normally is even though at the end of the day. Only qualifying matters because to win, you have beat them all. Which is what she did. On the subject of the qualifying ride, Victoria said, "I struggled to sleep the night before qualification and didn't feel on the ball in that even though I tried really hard. I didn't have the focus I usually have. I knew while I was riding about I was distracted by things."
Shane Sutton (Track Manager): "She knew she was going to be up against it and it was never comfortable" he said talking about the semi finals where Victoria lost a ride after being unsure when to commit to a move and when not to. "Steve Peters was the key to her winning that deciding round and going on to win the gold" Shane said. "I have got to be honest and looking at her performance tonight, I don't think she is any better or faster than she was in Stuttgart (4th, 2003 Worlds). I think she is mentally stronger and has learnt that she can win from the front or behind."
Anyone reading this will know we have great riders, really great riders but being here and seeing the whole success unfold before my eyes, I can assure you, if there was a gold medal for planning, hard work and a collective determination by everyone, riders and staff alike, then GB would win that too. We're talking 20 hour days here and that is no exaggeration. Its hard but this time has paid off and long we may we reign.

Golden Days for Team Pursuit
Above: When I asked Steve to smile, Rob was happy to help him. Notice the gold around Ed's neck -- as Chris Newton showed the teams appreciation for his effort in helping them to the first ever World title for this event. It was a truly special moment!
In what can only be described as the most impressive days racing ever at a World Track Championships ( in the vain as 2002 when we won three World titles), Great Britain riders did their country and themselves proud with many outstanding performances.
Not only did we win two World titles in one evening but, there was the sensational fourth place by 18 year old Mark Cavendish in the Scratch Race, a solid sixth place by Emma Davies in the Women's Pursuit and the sprinters performing well without an luck in the Mens Sprint with Ross Edgar winning the minor final for 5th place and Craig Maclean 8th overall. The highlight though was the two World Titles for GB in the Team Pursuit and Victoria Pendleton in the Women's Sprint.
The first title came in the Team Pursuit, the first time in history the team have won the title in this manner. In the first round, the GB boys were the fastest qualifiers as Ed Clancy, Chris Newton, Paul Manning and Steve Cummings did enough to make the final where they would ride for Gold. In an unexpected twist though, it was the Dutch that were the second fastest team after the Aussies fell apart at the end of their ride. Having the Dutch as opponents, ones we have beaten many times before, the confidence was high in the GB camp for a Gold medal.
There was no over confidence though and after a selection meeting, Rob Hayles was brought in to replace Ed Clancy who had ridden superb in the qualifiers. The final went as expected with Great Britain, riding in their new Adidas World Cup winners skin suits, going into the lead early and although not destroying the Dutch, they did enough to win their first World Championship after a series of Bronze and Silver medals since 2000.
Reactions: After the finals, I went round the GB camp and asked for some reactions to the success. This is what was said?
All smiles for the cameras after a awesome ride
Steve Cummings: "It feels a bit surreal at the moment. We won it so comfortably but before the race I was worried about the heavy track having see other teams finding it hard. I struggled a little bit this morning which I always do in the first one but in the final we were cruising. There was no way we were going to lose tonight. This is really special."
Ed Clancy: Here was a rider fresh out of junior ranks and the seniors he rode with praised him for his effort I doing the job asked of him in the first round. Afterwards when I asked the team to gether for a photo, Chris Newton gave Ed his Gold medal to wear and they were all appreciative of his ride. Steve Cummings has been in a similar situation many times and could appreciate the frustration he must have felt at not having a ride in the final.
He was however, made up for the team and said "It was pretty scary. I was quite nervous but no more than I would be if I was with my Under 23 team mates to be fair. I had a hard job as I was starting second man, and its not easy from a physical point of view and the pace judgement. It really sets up the team that second turn at the front and it was quite possibly the hardest thing I have done. It was only a 4.08 but its not a fast track and starting second man, I really put my heart into it. I'm really chuffed for all the guys."
The moment they and many of others have waited for ... rainbow stripes ..
Paul Manning: Here was a rider who said compared to the others he hasn't had to wait long coming into the team in 2000 but he was also mindful of an other rider who wasn't with them. "Some of this win was for Bryan Steel because he put a lot into the team and I am sure he'll have a wry smile that we finally did it. I was thinking I might be slightly below bar after the virus I had but I think Simon went for an experienced crew even though I know Ed could have filled my shoes today."
"I think we rode the ride we wanted to and once we could see the Dutch, it was like such an incentive to keep going. I've been trying not to think about what this would mean to us when everyone was saying to us it could be your year, because people have been saying that for the last three or four years. We have always been close and its just taken that little bit extra on the day and today we got it right. Long may it continue. It is quite exciting looking forward to the next Olympics."
Chris Newton: Here's a rider who loves nothing more than winning and when they crossed the line, there was an arm raised in triumph. Chris of course has tasted life in a rainbow jersey but this one was special. It must have been because both Chris and Steven were down to the breakfast table early the next morning unable to sleep. Asked to sum up the ride and the win, Chris said it was "unreal".
"It was a brilliant ride by the guys including Ed and Mark (Cavendish) who have been part of the team. We have been trying for this for so long and have always been getting medals despite little problems. But this has gone really well. I haven't done as much track work which has worked in my favour because I had the power down the straights."
Asked if this made up for the fourth in the Points where he just missed a medal, Chris replied "In all honesty , I wanted to be part of the Team Pursuit Gold medal ride, and I went into the Points race just to see how it went. We were still making our minds up the night before the points whether I should do it in case it did too much damage."
And his national coach, Simon Jones, a word about him I asked Chris? "He's the guru, fantastic. When I came back into the squad, we hit it off as we have the
same temperament. And everyone in the team works so hard for us as well, the masseurs, mechanics, everyone including those back at head quarters. We sometimes we feel that we are not doing enough because the people are looking after us so well. So this is just as much for them as it is for us."
How proud does it feel to be part of as winning team that you give everything for .. ask John Evans, masseur, who is more than happy to pose with the boys who acknowledge the crowd after they finished.
Dave Brailsford, performance director for the Great Britain Cycling Team. "If there has ever been a team that deserves to win a World Championship, then it is that team. They have been so professional time and time again to get second and it shows that if you are professional enough and knock on the door long enough, you get your reward. We came here with some youngsters who have acquitted themselves really well and its really exciting for the future. It was great for Ed who has broken the ice and got his first ride, which was a tense ride and he did very well. It bodes well for the future."
The for rainbow jerseyed riders are joined by the Head Coach Simon Jones and Performance Director, Dave Brailsford. Simon Jones, Head Coach for the GB Cycling Team: "we have been trying for this for a few years and we have been close, and its more relief than anything else. The data said we could win but its always a different thing to get out there and do the ride."
Talking about Ed Clancy, Simon says "He was fantastic. He has a great future ahead of him, and to start off at number two this morning was a big responsibility. He came out a bit quick but that's just down to a lack of experience. Ed is sure to form part of our Team Pursuit group at the Commonwealth Games and Olympics."
On the subject of what next, Simon says "Beijing. We have to think about how we can get these guys to combine with some of the younger guys so we can select the squad nine months out from the Games and work towards that. We have some unfinished business for the Olympics and that's our driving ambition now."

Mens Scratch Race
Mark Cavendish, rode a very special race to finish 4th in his first World Championship. The next morning at breakfast, it was if he was still a little over awed about it.
When I showed him the photos of the finish, he was looking for things and making notes in his head on where people were. For him to be up there in a big bunch finish, shows this kid knows a thing or two about positioning and has the legs to back it up.
"I'm a little disappointed but its my first World Champs and with the three riders who beat me, I can't really complain. So I am happy. I have been anxious all day and a bit nervous before it but as soon as I got out there I was enjoying it. It didn't seem to get on top of me as much as I thought it would and I wasn't intimidated by the riders."
"It came down to 20 laps to go and I knew it was going to be a bunch sprint and I just positioned myself up there. In the end I had to lead it out because if I had stalled, and tried to get in the wheels, ten people could have come over me. Every race I go into I want to win, and I knew this was a big race, but I just seemed to enjoy it once I was out there."
