British team pursuiters set fast practice pace in Australia

Team GB in team pursuit, London Track World Cup 2012, day four

Great Britain's male team pursuit squad have been setting blisteringly fast times in practice in the run-up to the 2012 track World Championships in Melbourne, Australia, which takes place from Wednesday April 4 to Sunday April 8.

On Wednesday, the GB pursuiters set a time of two minutes and 42.1 seconds over 2,750 metres at the Darebin International Sports Centre, which is not far off a world record-setting pace. The full event will be run over 4,000 metres at the nearby Hisense Arena.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
