Mark Cavendish will be hoping he can stay within the top three and finally claim that elusive Olympic medal as the men’s omnium reaches its conclusion on day ten of Rio 2016.
After the opening three events on Saturday Cavendish finds himself sat third on 96 points, 20 behind leader Thomas Boudat of France and 18 shy of Italian Elia Viviani.
However, with the ‘Manx Missile’ just six points ahead of Germany’s Roger Kluge and Fernando Gaviria Rendon he will be hoping to lay down a marker in either the time trial, flying lap or points race.
And Laura Trott begins her charge for a fourth Olympic Games gold medal as the women’s omnium kicks off.
Elsewhere at the Olympic Velodrome on day ten, Becky James and Katy Marchant compete in the sprint quarter-finals.
James, who already has a silver medal from these Games, competes against Virginie Cueff of France, while Marchant goes up against German Miriam Welte.
While Trott has a fourth Olympic Games title in her sights, Charlotte Dujardin and horse Valegro go for number three in the Dressage Individual Grand Prix Freestyle.

Jack Laugher, fresh from claiming 3m synchro gold alongside Chris Mears, is back in action in the individual event, with Freddie Woodward also competing in what will be his Olympic Games debut.
Great Britain’s unbeaten women’s hockey team put that record on the line against Spain in their quarter-final clash, the same stage of the competition that Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge find themselves in the men’s doubles badminton.

Both Alison Young and Nick Thompson are in the laser radial and laser medal races respectively to round off their Rio regattas, while Olivia Federici and Katie Clark will be looking to improve on their current standing of 18th as the synchronised swimming duet competition moves into the technical event.
