    Got to be careful not to be too greedy in this event, you have to take some time to get on the wheels.

    Women's omnium

    Sad to see as Lotte Kopecky pulls over and comes to a stop. It looks like the crash in the first race took its toll.

    Meanwhile, Laura Kenny has taken three points after 10 sprints.

    The first rider across the line gets one point, second gets nothing. Only the first person gets a point and then at the end of the race you add up all the points and you get ranked based on that.

    This could favour someone going on a long breakaway or someone sprinting.

    The trouble is you have to be sure to win, it is a test of endurance as well as tactics

    Men's keirin

    Jason Kenny was great he had a stacked heat but he managed to get himself through.

    Jack Carlin saw the danger, but he had to respond and make space and Carlin ended up sandwiched and a little touch could have caused a serious crash.

    Jason Kenny took that by the scruff of the neck. He wasn't trying to do just enough, he was going to make absolutely sure.

    Good news in the omnium as the riders who crashed in the scratch race are all awarded 16 points, so not as bad as first feared.

    Women's omnium

    In the points race at the end you can gain 20 points for a gained lap, so Laura Kenny can be a significant number of points down on her main rivals going into the last race and if she puts in a blinder like we know she is capable of doing she will be fine.
