One of the big features at the velodrome on Friday will be the Men’s Pursuit Cycling Betting where Great Britain should be strongly contesting the gold medal. The team consists of Sir Chris Hoy, Jason Kenny, Andy Tennant, Steve Burke, Ed Clancy and Geraint Thomas. It was the quartet of Ed Clancy, Paul Manning, Geraint Thomas and Bradley Wiggins who dominated things at Beijing 2008. They broke Australia’s world record twice in the space of 24 hours four years ago and they will be hoping to follow up on their success this year. It will be the Australian team who will push Team GB the hardest here and it should be a fantastic race. The world record was broken against by Clancy, Burke, Kennaugh and Thomas in the final of the Men’s Team Pursuit at the World Track Championships earlier in the year. That was a huge marker because it was on Australian soil.
So with the home support behind them at London 2012, and the extra interest in cycling coming from Bradley Wiggins’ efforts in the Tour de France and in taking Gold in the Time Trail, Britain will be expected to power to gold on Friday. Great Britain amassed a tremendous haul in the track four years ago, and while they may not hit the heights of Beijing, they are still strong. Great Britain are 9/10 favourites in the Men’s Pursuit Cycling Betting on Friday at online bookmaker Bet365. Australia are the only ones who are going to come close to Team GB and there really is not too much to choose between the two sides. Australia are trading at a price of Evens with Bet365 to take the gold. So things are going to be evenly matched and gold and silver will be settled between those two rivals. Just to put it into context, Britain’s gold medal run at the World Championships in April beat Australia into silver by just two one-hundredths of a second. It is that close between them.
