Olympic qualification kicked off in earnest at the first track World Cup of the season in Minsk, Belarus last weekend with a slew of fast times.

Run off in good atmospheric conditions, the men’s team pursuit finals saw the fastest grouping of times ever ridden at a competition, with four different nations riding three minutes 52 seconds or quicker. Denmark took the gold medal, backing up their recent winning ride at the European Championships.
