Bradley Wiggins was just awesome and Shanaze Reade - a gold medal winner in her second race! Wow!

Yeah, they've just been fantastic at this World Championships - and hopefully it's not over yet. Victoria Pendleton won another Gold in the women's sprint - taking GBs total to 5!!! There's definitely a possibility of a gold from Chris Hoy in the 1km time trial (an event which they've unfortunately removed from the Olympics) and fingers crossed for Bradley Wiggins and Rob Hayles (I think :unsure: ) in the madison later on tonight!
