Mark Cavendish will be desperate to join his medal winning teammates on the GB track cycling team with a medal of his own in the second day of the Omnium today, a discipline consisting of six events held over two days.

Day one saw him achieve mixed and, at times, frustrating results. First up was the scratch race where all 18 riders line up for a 15km, straight up, first over the line event. Cav came a creditable sixth. 

Next up was the individual pursuit where he recorded a blistering 4min 14.982sec, the second fastest time, and marking him out as a strong medal contender.
