Does anyone know why we have had 2 riders in the Sprint? I thought each nation was only allowed 1, may have been mentioned in UK TV coverage but on holiday so missed it

Think it's different than 2012 though isn't it? Thought we could only send one, Jason Kenny, after having both he and Hoy in the final in 2008.

Thanks for that, bit confused as in 2012 we had the debate over Hoy or Kenny obviously different for this one

Read elsewhere that you get one but if your nation.qualifies for team Sprint you get a second. Not sure how true since it was from a forum post.
