The Great Britain cycling team made a superb start to the 2012 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Melbourne.
The first day of competition at the Hisense Arena brought a gold medal and world record for the men’s team pursuit squad and a gold medal for Ben Swift in the Scratch race.
But the opening day wasn’t a complete success, with both the men’s and women’s team sprint squads suffering disappointment after impressive performances at February’s closing round of the season-long UCI Track World Cup.
