INTERNATIONAL TRACK RESULTS 2007-2008
With this weekend?s Manchester World Cup kicking off a new season on the track, we look back at 2007-2008 and list all the major winners.
Here are all the winners from the four World Cup meetings, held at Sydney, Beijing, Los Angeles and Copenhagen last winter, as well as the Manchester World Championships and the Olympic Games.
British victories are highlighted in red, making it easy to see how dominant they were during the course of the season. The World Cup events were used to hone form and Great Britain got it spot on because they were flying in Manchester ? winning half of the world titles on offer.
That success ratio increased still further in Beijing where British riders took seven of the ten gold medals available on the track.
