January 19, 2008 (Los Angeles, CA) – Canada’s Cam Mackinnon has just advanced to the second round of the men’s Keirin by winning his repechage ahead of US national team rider Gideon Massie. Travis Smith (Momentum) failed to advance from his repechage which was won by Levy of Germany.

Ryan Mackenzie just failed to make it out of the second heat in the men’s Scratch race. Interesting as the CCA press release indicated Mackenzie was only riding the Madison.

Gina Grain just missed making it out of her Points race qualifier. She looked to have it locked up but a Czech and a Chinese rider got away for the last sprint and leapfrogged ahead her.

Canada’s Steph Roorda, Julia Bradley and Gina Grain all failed to advance to the Points race final. This is a big blow for Grain as it puts her Olympic ambitions in danger. As an aside, 2007 Tour de Whiterock winner USA’s Shelley Olds (Proman) was able to sneak into the final from last spot in the third heat, coming out on top of a three-way tie.
