Cycling-Cavendish sweating on big finish in the omnium (Reuters)
Mark Cavendish was fifth overall going into the final event of the men’s omnium at the world track championships on Saturday with his hopes of a spot in Britain’s Olympic team for Rio in the balance. Cavendish needs a strong showing in the sixth and final discipline later on Saturday, the points race, to have any chance of a place on the podium — the target he was set by British coach Shane Sutton beforehand. Dibben’s surprise gold in his first world championships has given Sutton a possible selection dilemma as the 22-year-old is being tipped as an Olympic medal candidate in the omnium.
