Mightily impressive team.

I do have slight reservations about Vicky P getting past Guo, not helped by Porter saying 'it's over' when still in the back straight.
And the Madison boys might just find themselves 'marked' out of it, in a GB v everybody else type stylee.

Cannot wait for the madison, I think they will be attacked all the way.

Should be a good last day, the expectation for us to win everything now is huge.

Madison about to start, Cavendish and Wiggins the elite of British cycling.

At work so can't watch it, but loving the Live text on the BBC Website;

1025: Sensational action at the velodrome! Guo Shuang appears to nudge Anna Meares before springing off, opening up a lead... and Meares is beaten by a sausage on the line! BUT NO! The judges are very strict on any contact nowadays and the Chinese woman is relegated soon after and Victoria Pendleton will face an Australian in the final. Good sport this.. probably won't watch it for another four years though...

1016: Victoria Pendleton goes in the women's sprint final at 1125 BST, Chris Hoy and Jason Kenny go head-to-head in the men's sprint final at 1135 BST. But before that, we've got double gold medal winner Bradley 'Wiggler' Wiggins and Mark Cavendish, who won four stages at this year's Tour de France, in the final of the Madison - the duck-billed platypus of the sporting world. That's at 1030, and it has to be seen to be believed.

1010: Jason Kenny smokes his German opponent to set up another all-British final - it's all getting a little bit silly this. Kenny looks over his right shoulder waiting for Max Levy to make his move and then slips through the gears (metaphorically, of course...) to leave Levy floundering in his wake. At least two silvers and a gold coming up at the velodrome.

1005: Here's Chris Hoy in his second semi-final race against France's Mickael Borgain... and there's only one word for that: annihilation.

1000: There's the lunatic grinning mooey of former PM Tony Blair down at the Velodrome

0957: Awesome from Pendleton - she appears to look the wrong way as Kanis snakes behind her, but the Dutchwoman has not got the pace to get away and Pendleton reels her in and pips her on the line. Another certain silver, the final is at 1125 BST.

0947: Great ride from Jason Kenny, staying high on the banking before dropping down, getting on the German's wheel at the bend and sweeping past his German opponent on the line. This British team are ludicrously good, you just don't expect them to be beaten in any race at the moment.

0940: Chris Hoy is under way against Bourgain of France in the men's sprint semi-final... AND HE'S ABSOLUTELY RUINED HIM! This semi-final was expected to be close, but the Scot made that look pretty easy. Hoy was travelling at 70kph there, he almost sucked the basket off Bourgain's bike as he flew past.

0933: BOSH! LIQUID CYCLING FROM PENDLETON! Bit of cat and mouse at the start, Kanis tries to get away, but Pendleton rams down the accelerator, climbs past the Dutchwoman on the bend and finishes well clear. That looked pretty comfortable for the Bedfordshire woman. But don't crack open the Tizer just yet, it's best of three.
