Outsider wins scratch race with a perfectly timed attack as the bunch falters. A big crash with around five laps to go brought some ten riders crashing down from the top of the track. Some riders still on the floor. French rider Jerome Neuville is stretchered off, all other riders are able to walk away. One bike is left in two pieces.
Huge crash!

Chris Hoy has taken gold and Ross Edgar bronze in the keirin event. Hoy charged through the centre to secure Britain's first gold in the keirin since Jamie Staff back in 2004.

19.07 - Houvenhagel beaten in bronze medal ride off
Australia's Katie Mactier was too good for Britain's Wendy Houvenhagel in the bronze medal final. Despite a brave fight back, the former world champion beat the Brit by just over a second
Tonight's session kicks off at 19.00 (18.00 British time) with the finals for the women's individual pursuit, with Rebecca Romero going for Britain's third gold. After that, we have the women's sprint, the men's Keirin and of course the men's team pursuit where the GB team is looking untouchable. The men's scratch race is the last race on tonight's programme. It should be another great night.
