World records, personal bests, podium finishes - this Australian team has it all!
In the remainder of this morning's session, Kieran and Scott broke Kieran's longstanding tandem pursuit world record to qualify fastest for the final this evening.
Bryce and Sean produced a five second personal best time to qualify third and therefore go into the bronze medal ride off tonight. Unfortunately for Bryce and Sean, they had to overtake the other team on the track during their qualifying ride and but for that, may well have gone the .2 second quicker that they needed to make the gold medal ride off. Such is the nature of competition.
Andrew produced yet another PB to clock a time .3 of a second under the Men's C2 1km TT world record, only to have a Chinese rider come out and beat the old mark by a full 2 secs and drop Andrew into the silver medal position. You know the competition's tough when beating the world record only gets you a silver medal!
That's it for now but stay tuned - at this rate we're going to have excess baggage on the way home just for the medals!
