News – Cavendish Determined to Reach Rio

Event Press Release

Mark Cavendish is determined to reach Rio 2016, however his qualification is far from being a given with the other GB hopefuls in excellent form. In the Scratch Race, Cavendish finished 11th, his rivals marked his every move and refused to let him get away.

Heiko Salzwedel, the GB endurance coach said to The Guardian “Every other country is racing as a team, for us it’s a selection race and he had no support; it was every man for himself. “But that’s perfect, in a way. There were 11 current or previous World and Olympic champion sprinters out there and the standard was incredible; I’ve never seen racing like it.”

In the Elimination race Cavendish rode aggressively, never dropping beyond fifth wheel. He was ahead in every sprint, even the one he was eliminated in. He clipped the côte d’azur at the bottom of the track, resulting in a 4th place relegation.

Cavendish will return on Sunday, to race the Madison with Sir Bradley Wiggins and to finish the Omnium. The Manx Missile is currently in 3rd place, 16 points behind leader, Ed Clancy.
Laura Trott won the Elimination race, jumping Jolien D’Hoore with 200 metres to go. Earlier in the day, Trott also won the Scratch race, but couldn’t best D’Hoore’s 3km Individual Pursuit time of 3:36:13.

Jess Varnish was relegated in the first sprint final heat against Katy Marchant for crossing Marchant’s line. Katy won the second heat convincingly and the all GB final shows the team will have a tough choice when considering Olympic prospects.

Current Olympic sprint champion Jason Kenny missed out on the Sprint finals, Lewis Oliva and Callum Skinner went head to head in a rematch of the 2012 British National Sprint Championships. Oliva finished first this time, giving a clear message ahead of Team GB’s Rio Olympic selection.

Oliva says “There isn’t a hair between us all, it’s so positive for the team. It’s almost certain Phil and Jason will be in the team sprint for Rio and then it’s up to two or three of us to get our bums on the plane.”

Team Wiggins’ Owain Doull and Steven Burke won the Madison Time Trial comfortably, giving Ed Clancy a moment of worry as his Revolution record looked to be under threat. Matt Gibson won the Revolution Longest Lap, coming round Morgan Kneisky on the back straight, clocking an average speed of 47.65 kmh from a standing start. The 18 year old also won the Individual Pursuit, overtaking Doull in the process.
