WORLD CUP DAY ONE: MEDAL HAT-TRICK FOR GB

Gold for Rebecca Romero in the women?s pursuit, silver for Victoria Pendleton in the women?s sprint and bronze for Chris Newton in the men?s points: as GB track manager Shane Sutton said, ?It really couldn?t have been much better for Great Britain in the opening day of the World Cup.?

Newton?s bronze at the fourth and final round of the World Cup in Ballerup, Denmark is arguably the most significant result of the three long-term. It means the veteran rider now has automatic qualification for the Olympic Games thanks to his outright victory in the series - although he has yet to be selected. Consistency - he was the only rider to score points in all four rounds of the series - made all the difference.
