Second Gold For Fachie and MacLean

Neil Fachie and Craig MacLean raised the roof of the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome for the second time in as many days, winning their second gold medal with a thrilling final ride in the men's sprint B tandem. Visually impaired para-cyclist Fachie and his vastly experienced pilot MacLean, a silver medallist alongside Hoy in the team sprint at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, came from 1-0 behind in their best-of-three final against Australia's Kieran Modra and Jason Niblett to win 2-1. It follows their storming success in the 1,000m time-trial, with both victories roared on by a capacity crowd and celebrated by Fachie unfurling a Saltire to deafening acclaim.

The home favourites looked to have run out of gas after two days of intense competition when their Australia rivals - opponents in the world championships finals as well as Friday's TT - powered to victory in the opening race. But Fachie and MacLean dug deep to level up at 1-1, forcing a decider which they took control of on the back straight before putting clear air between the silver medallists as they hunted the line.
