London's Bradley Wiggins, who will be Britain's only representative in the world junior championships in South Africa, smashed his second record on day two of the BCF national track title series at Manchester velodrome. Wiggins clocked 3min 32.211sec in the qualifying round of the junior 3,000 metres pursuit to take nearly half a second off the record set in an earlier ride by his Welsh rival Sion Jones. Both were faster than the championship record of 3:33.211 set last year by London's Gavin Sellen.
