UCI Track World Cup: Jason Kenny suffers embarrassing early elimination from men's sprint British sprint coach Iain Dyer said: "The performance isn't a surprise and then, when you consider the conditions and the circumstances, the outcome, unfortunately, isn't too much of a surprise either. Now it might mean he'll have to do the final World Cup in order to add to his points tally to ensure a berth in the sprint at the World Championships. His Keirin status is guaranteed because of his world champion status. Britain were already planning to send a full-strength team to Aguascalientes from December 5 to 7 and rest their leading riders for the January round as confirmation of the venue is still to come. The UCI is expected to make an announcement on the venue, with South Africa strongly mooted, in the next few days, and Kenny could have to make the long journey in the month prior to the World Championships. Kenny, who was part of the bronze medal-winning team sprint squad on day one and fourth in the Keirin on day two, was not the only big-name absentee from the knockout stages as world record holder Kevin Sireau of France finished in 41st place in 10.573secs. Germany's Robert Forstemann was the fastest qualifier in 9.799 as nine riders clocked beneath 10 seconds in a fast qualification. "Having been up at the crack of dawn, having just done team sprint and Keirin already at the weekend, you're clearly not going to be at your freshest," Dyer added. We weren't really expecting Jason, who has been doing 10.1 (seconds) for the last month, to suddenly come in and do a 9.8. A condensed programme at a World Cup means little rest for Kenny, Britain's leading sprinter. Consideration has been given to lightening Kenny's competitive workload, but it could compromise his future performance. "What you really want to try to accomplish through events like this is staying competitively sharp," Dyer added. It's not just about seeing where you are physically, it's about maintaining a tactical and strategic edge to your preparation. It would've been nice to have got through some sprints today and experienced that level of competition.
