Hoy unstoppable in Manchester



Sir Chris Hoy breezed his way to his second gold medal of the season-opening UCI World Cup as Great Britain claimed all three men's sprint medals in Manchester

Hoy, having taken the keirin title on Friday, was in a class of his own once more in the Manchester Velodrome and defeated compatriot Matthew Crampton in the final.

The flying Scot clocked 10.259 seconds in the second final, not quite as fast as the course record he set earlier in the day when he broke the ten-second barrier, but still enough to collect victory.

It's Hoy's first international competition since suffering a hip injury at the Copenhagen World Cup in February.

And while the four-time Olympic gold medallist has returned stronger than ever, Hoy admitted he did have doubts having spent so long out of the saddle.

"It means a lot to come back and win here," said Hoy.

"I've been riding the World Cup series for years now but having been off the bike for so long you start to ask yourself if you're going to get back to the same level."
