Meanwhile coming here with some great expectations is jaya tayon and far who’s up against max levy um max levy knows he’s a veteran of course of german cycling and sprint racing he’s up against the surinamese of uh john unfair who was brilliant earlier on set a really spectacular time

And one of those from the world cycling academy based in eagle and nice to see and worth mentioning constantly joe because it’s a way of cycling introducing talent from nations globally who may not have the funding necessary to take part yes so but you know we’re treating the uk we’ve got

What five indoor velodromes london manchester newport derby and glasgow um you know we’re very lucky to have that not a lot of nations have that those sort of facilities so in eagle they’ve got a track it’s actually a 200 meter track not 250 which i find interesting but they’ve got facilities

Gym world-class coaches and um yeah i think it’s really important way to continue to develop track cyclists from around the world me too it’s a blessing and by the fruits of those endeavours you’re seeing here right now is the trailing rider so tom on fire chasing down max levy

That’s a big ask but he’s got some power and with that training you never know and down the back straight in the perfect position right now this is coming up and over the top and i think he’s going to make it gets the slingshot does he here’s the drive

Here’s the momentum on the line oh it’s a photo well he was the coming rider but i think max levy held off held him off there but he’s uh muted celebrations john henfar looks up at uh the scoreboard we wait joe that was close so we knew that this would start to happen

[Applause] we did so just seeing confirmation there matt smith and levy getting the win so this was uh the rider that qualified down in 19th place against the rider that qualified in sixth and that was the first time you’ve seen a really close finish on the line there so we’re gonna

Have more and more heats like this as these riders get closer together in their qualifying time so fairly straightforward for the first few heats but now it really is getting exciting gosh restless that was wonderful let’s see how close it was out the line i’d

Love to see you still of the photo to be honest because he was very much fast finishing here we go let’s have a look how close it was wow levy doing just enough but uh sean on fire that was great timing but um or you might say

Well he didn’t get there but 2 000 says all you need to know um he had the right idea to beat max levy but levy just had enough to hold on there joe yeah just maybe slightly too late he came out came round um as i said before we have got

These tight bankings and long straights here so you can get more opportunity to come around in the straight because you have got that longer straight on this track but yeah not not not quite making it around that time but he will have the repercharge so his competition isn’t over you
