It looks like we could see a rematch of the London Games in Rio. Great Britain and Australia are both strong teams and favorites to get on the podium. Sir Bradley Wiggins and Team GB have been breaking world records in practice according to their endurance coach. Wiggins was quoted as saying, “Anything less than a gold will be a huge disappointment, the way we’re going at the moment.” However, Australia stunned Team GB at the World Track Championships earlier this year in London. But Aussie cyclist Michael Hepburn knew after that race they would have to do better. "For sure, we will have to ride three seconds faster than that to win gold in Rio."
