GER win, track commentator breaks into German to celebrate. Right, a break now for the team sprint medal ceremonies, with the women's points race up in about 15-20 minutes. It's going to be a bit of a challenge with no screen graphics and only the track commentary, so perhaps I will give it a miss.

Presumably we have qualifiers in the points race. Martin Irvine of Ireland is favourite for the men's, he is practically British.

It was Danny King. Silver medal! Pretty good considering she must have done three races today, points qualifying, team pursuit final and points final. Home gold for Kerstin Wild.

Harrison gets another lap, think Irvine must be in the lead, he has two laps and lots of points.
