Kennaugh back in action at Olympics after impressive performance

Alongside his Great Britain team mates the 23 year old Onchan rider finished top of the board in the men's team pursuit qualifying round.

 

They recorded a time of 3 minutes and 52 seconds - almost a second quicker than when they set the record when winning the World Championships earlier this year.

The race will start just after 4pm.
