Live coverage of the climax to the World Cup meeting at the Olympic Velodrome in London, presented by Jake Humphrey.

Most of Great Britain's top riders are due to compete in this series finale, having largely avoided the previous three World Cup meetings to continue their training preparations for the Olympics. Sir Chris Hoy was the first cyclist to ride at the Olympic Velodrome when it opened last year and the Scot will hope to emulate the gold medal he won in the sprint at the first World Cup leg in Kazakhstan four months ago.

The women's team pursuit, featuring Wendy Houvenhagel, were the only other British winners in the World Cup series prior to this weekend, but with current Olympic champions such as Victoria Pendleton, Jason Kenny, Ed Clancy and Geraint Thomas all set to return there should be plenty for the home crowd to cheer.
