  3. 'The team goal is Tokyo'

    Cycling: Women's team pursuit

    And some quotes from Neah Evans: "I'm just doing team pursuit so I get to go home and celebrate.

    "It is fantastic. The Gold Coast (where she won a silver in scratch race and bronze in the points race) was individual, this is completely different and I'm delighted to come and be part of such a strong team - I'm standing next to the Olympic champion (Kenny).

    "The team goal is Tokyo (Olympics in 2020) and I'm fortunate to be part of such a strong team. For me this is coming home, so I will see some friends and enjoy the atmosphere."

  4. 'I never knew if I'd make it back to the top'

    Cycling: Women's team pursuit

    With the British team having collected their gold medals, Laura Kenny tells BBC TV:

    "It's great. For me, having a year out, I never knew when I was coming back and whether I'd actually make it back to the top table.

    "But it's great to be back in front of a home crowd.

    "I'm still a bit away from the form where I left off. I want to go to Tokyo in the form of my life and I am still chasing it, but right now it's the best that I've felt in a long time.

    "I absolutely love being a mum. Sometimes it sounds like I'm moaning about a lack of sleep, but I wouldn't change anything."

  10. 'A hard race'

    Cycling: Men's 15km scratch race

    Matthew Walls finished seventh and tells BBC TV: "It was a hard race. I think I did a little bit too much throughout the race, which meant I didn't really have enough in the end.

    "I think everyone was hoping that someone else would do it and so it ended up that they managed to stay away."

  11. 'Action packed'

    What an animated scratch race that was. They can be dull affairs on occasion but that one was action-packed from the start.

    The amount of attacks from behind that they managed to fend off was just incredible.

  12. Gladysh gold

    Cycling: Men's 15km scratch race

    Gold for Ukraine's Roman Gladysh, who outsprints France's Adrien Garel. These two had broken away from the rest midway through the race and had their own battle for gold.

    A bronze for Switzerland's Tristan Marguet, with Great Britain's Matthew Walls coming seventh.

  18. British team 'don't panic'

    Great Britain win gold in the women's team pursuit

    Sir Chris Hoy

    Six-time Olympic cycling champion on BBC TV

    It's an embarrassment of riches, they're so versatile, this squad. They don't panic.

    You could see, they didn't let Italy rattle them, and when they turned the screw with a km to go, Italy fell apart.

  19. 'Feels fantastic'

    Great Britain win gold in the women's team pursuit

    Neah Evans says: "It feels fantastic, obviously this is a very strong team to be part of. We have such a strong squad so to be in the starting line-up is quite an achievement and to win it is even better.

    "This is very much my home velodrome so fantastic to be back here."
