Track Cycling World Championships 2012: Victoria Pendleton vows to improve after finishing fourth in sprint Luckily, we've still got a little bit more time until the Olympics and hopefully we can find a little bit more on home turf. Pendleton, who was within 0.10 sec of her best ever time on her second lap, heads straight back on to the track on Thursday in the women's individual sprint when she will renew her rivalry with Australia's Anna Meares. In the men's team sprint, won by Australia, it was a bittersweet day for Great Britain and in particular their 19-year-old debutant Philip Hinde, who moved over fractionally too soon at the end of his lead-out leg to allow Jason Kenny through in their qualifying round. That disqualified Britain but their disappointment was eased by the fact that Hinde's time for the opening 250 metres, 17.5 sec, was substantially quicker than anything they have been working off recently. "It was a very easy mistake to make," said Chris Hoy afterwards, "but I still think he did an amazing ride today and we should be pleased with his progression. We've all made mistakes - it's just a shame it's his first experience of the big occasion.
