And the perennial rivals -- Australia won Marchs world title ahead of Britain -- slugged it out for gold.Britain were trailing until 500m to go, when a huge roar erupted from the numerous Britons in the crowd. It was Britains third straight Olympic title in the event, which Wiggins and Clancy also won at the 2008 Games in Beijing.Wiggins told BBC: Really the last 12 months weve pretty much done everything together, training camps at altitude, early-morning starts at the track, late finishes at the track before Christmas Day, all for this.And were here and weve done it. These four guys here -- I would never have come back if we didnt have the calibre. Ive always said Ed and Burkey, for me, are two of the most underrated athletes Ive ever raced with.Theyre so talented and they dont get the credit for it because theyre not big road stars.

Burke peeled off with under two laps to go, once Britain were ahead, and Wiggins took to the front.So powerful was his surge that Wiggins distanced Doull. Three riders must cross the line to record a time and Doull clung on as Britain triumphed by 0.743.Replica Sneakers Australia .05 million next season unless Graham and the Saints subsequently agree on a long-term deal.
