7.20am: No medal, but O’Shea did Bendigo proud.

7.17am: O’Shea didn’t pick up any points and finishes in seventh place overall. 

He’ll be disappointed, but he did well to finish the points race after the crash.

To show how good O’Shea has been in the omnium over his career – that’s his worst finish at international level. 

7.16am: There it is Viviani wins gold, Cavendish silver and Hansen bronze.

7.14am: Cavendish into second place after picking up 1 point. Come on Hansen beat him in the last sprint and deny him silver.

7.13am: Viviani will win the gold medal after he picked up 5 points in second last sprint.

7.10am: Viviani holds off Cavendish to win third last sprint. Viviani 202, Hansen 192, Cavendish 192. 20 laps left.

7.08am: Viviani 197, Hansen 191, Cavendish 189 with 3 sprints to come.

7.06am: The top three look set – Viviani, Hansen and Cavendish. It’s just a matter of what order they finish in.

7.05am: Cavendish wins another sprint and moves into equal second with Hansen. 40 laps to go.

7.03am: Looking at replays of the crash – Cavendish didn’t even look back after he clipped the rider. Looked very poor.

7.01am: Kennett lapped the field and moves into fourth place overall.

7am: 55 laps to go.

6.59am: Kennett wins sprint and is trying to gain a lap. Viviani still in box seat to win gold, Hansen in silver medal position and Cavendish third.

6.56am: Damn it. Cavendish wins latest sprint. He’s looking good for at least bronze. O’Shea must be hurting. He doesn’t have his usual speed.

6.54am: As much as we’re cheering for Glenn, I think it’s also fair to cheer for anyone else to get a medal ahead of Cavendish.

6.53am: 80 laps to go. Hansen takes the sprint. O’Shea no points.

6.50am: 90 laps to go. O’Shea no points at this stage and his medal hopes look dashed.

6.47am: Gutsy effort from O’Shea to jump straight back on the bike. He must be hurting.

6.46am: The race in neutral zone as injured rider in crash is attended to.

6.45am: Mark Cavendish now the most hated man in Bendigo. He caused the crash that saw O’Shea fall.

6.45am: 100 laps to go – no points for O’Shea. He must lap the field now to have any chance. Tough ask after his crash.

6.44am: In the meantime, Kluge has gained lap on the field.

6.43am: O’Shea back in the race. Good sign.

6.42am: O’Shea has 5 laps to get back into event. Two riders clipped in front of him and O’Shea had nowhere to go but fall over the top.

6.41am: OH NO – O’Shea crashes.

6.41am: Sprint 5 done – still no points for O’Shea. Kluge gets 5 points.

6.40am: Hansen gets a lap and 20 points. Kluge from Germany on a breakaway now.

6.39am: Hansen closing in on gaining a lap. 

6.38am: Hansen wins fourth sprint, Cavendish second, Boudat third. No points for O’Shea.

6.37am: Hansen half a lap ahead. If he laps the field he gets 20 points.

6.36am: Lasse Hansen (ahead of O’Shea in overall standings) wins the third sprint and is trying to steal a lap. No points for O’Shea.

6.35am: It looks like O’Shea happy to conserve energy in bid to launch for a lap.

6.34am: Second sprint done and dusted. No points for O’Shea. Viviani got the 5, Cavendish 3. 140 laps to go.

6.30am: O’Shea fifth in first sprint – no points. Bad news is that Kennett picked up 3 and Cavendish 2. Both riders ahead of O’Shea in the overall standings.

6.29am: Every 10 laps there is a sprint for points – 5, 3, 2 and 1 for top 4 placings. You get 20 points if you lap the field.

6.27am: 160 laps and we’re underway. O’Shea’s best hope is to try and gain a lap on the field.

6.22am: Cross your fingers, cross your toes and get ready to cheer Glenn O’Shea home. It’s going to take something special for the Bendigo champ to get a medal, but you never know.

5.30am: We’ll return in 50 minutes for updates of the points race.

5.26am: The final event is on in one hour. O’Shea probably needs to win the points race to have any chance of pinching the bronze medal. Gold and silver look out of reach.

A reminder that the points are allocated 40 for first, 38 for second, 36 for third, 34 for fourth and so on.

5.24am: Overall leading standings with one event to go:

Viviani (Italy) – 178

Cavendish (GB) – 162

Hansen (Den) – 152

Kennett (NZ) – 150

Boudat (France) – 150

O’Shea (Aus) – 144

5.22am: O’Shea finishes sixth in flying lap and picks up 30 points. He is now in sixth place in the overall rankings with 144 points – eight points behind third.

5.21am: The leader Viviani grabs second place with a sizzling ride. 

5.20am: Boudat from France can only manage eighth.

5.19am: Bugger, bugger. Mark Cavendish now in second place behind Kennett. O’Shea down to fifth.

5.18am: Bugger. Lasse Hansen moves into second place. Pushes O’Shea back to fourth. That hurts.

5.17am: The reigning world champ Gaviria also three places behind O’Shea. Things are looking up.

5.16am: Roger Kluge well outside O’Shea. Good stuff.

5.15am: 13.053 for O’Shea – third fastest at the moment with six riders to go. Nervous wait now.

5.14am: O’Shea’s turn – let’s go Glenn.

5.13am: Kennett, who won the pursuit earlier, puts up a new fastest time of 12.506.

5.12am: Zakharov fails to break Suter’s time. Kiwi Dylan Kennett up now and then O’Shea.

5.07pm: Dutchman Tim Veldt moves into second with a 13.170 for the 250m.

5.05pm: O’Shea needs a top three finish in this event to give himself the best chance of getting a medal.

The final event is the points race at 6.25am. O’Shea very strong in that event.

5.04am: 12.981 seconds the early mark set by Switzerland’s Gail Suter.

4.55am: Welcome back for the fifth event of the omnium as Bendigo’s Glenn O’Shea tries to add another Olympic medal to the silver he won in the team pursuit in London four years ago.

O’Shea is in seventh place – 12 points out of third place - heading into the flying lap.

The event is scheduled to start at 5am. The riders will compete in reverse order to the standings, so O’Shea won’t be on track for a little while yet.

11.56pm: We’ll be back at 5am for the flying lap. Another top two finish from O’Shea will keep his medal hopes alive ahead of the points race at 6.25am.

11.55pm: O’Shea still in seventh place, but he did cut the margin between himself and third place by eight points.

He’ll rest up now for the flying lap at 5am (AEST).

It’s still going to take a huge effort for O’Shea to finish in the top three but he has given himself a chance.

11.51pm: O’Shea collects 38 points for finishing second and moves to 114 points.

Viviani leads on 140 from Boudat on 126 and Cavendish on 126. Lasse Hansen is on 118 as is Fernando Gaviria. Kluge on 114 with O’Shea.

11.50pm: Viviani rides well to finish third, but Boudat struggles into 11^th.

11.47pm: Last pair on track are the leaders. Viviani from Italy and Boudat from France. Times outside the top 5 from these two would be just nice for O’Shea and his legion of fans.

11.46pm: You beauty – Cavendish in fifth and Kluger in eighth. More good news for O’Shea. He will make up some ground in this event.

11.44pm: Mark Cavendish – the Tour de France star – up next alongside Roger Kluge from Germany. Let’s hope they can’t handle the pressure.

11.43pm: Denmark’s Lasse Hansen and Colombia’s Fernando Gaviria both rider slower times than Kennett and O’Shea. They are third and fourth at the moment. Good result for O’Shea. Now we need the top four to falter as well.

11.41pm: O’Shea rides a 1:02.332. Great ride. Kennett beats him home with a sizzling 1:00.923. Outstanding from the Kiwi.

O’Shea in second place. Now he waits to watch the top six riders in the competition.

11.38pm: Now we see Glenn O’Shea. He’s riding against Kiwi Dylan Kennett. Huge minute coming up for Glenn.

11.37pm: Brazil’s Monteiro and Zakharov from Kazakhstan also fail to break 1:04.00.

11.35pm: Another heat to go before we see Glenn O’Shea on track. O’Shea a big chance to break the 1:03 mark.

11.35pm: Park from Korea and Koboki from Japan both fail to beat Veldt’s time.

11.32pm: USA’s Bobby Lee rides 1:05.339 and Mexico’s Prado finishes with 1:05.839

11.29pm: Dutchman Tim Veldt hits the front with 1:03.464.

11.25pm: Suter from Swizterland the first leader with a time 1:04.43.

11.22pm: Here we go – the time-trial has started. Two riders on track at a time, so O’Shea will be in the fifth heat.

11.20pm: O’Shea is in seventh place heading into this event, 20 points off third place.

While he faces a tough task, he’s shown he can do it. He was in a similar position at the world titles this year and recovered to finish third.

11.15pm: O’Shea will be the 10^th rider to compete in the time-trial.

11.12pm: O’Shea’s schedule – 11.20pm time trial, 5am flying lap, 6.25am – points race. Keep in mind that history says the schedule won’t on time.

11.10pm: Welcome back.

Bendigo’s favourite cyclist Glenn O’Shea is about 20 minutes away from competing in the fourth event of the omnium – the 1km time trial.

It’s a crucial event for O’Shea. He needs a top three finish to start eating into the points deficit he faces heading into day two. 

8.50am: We’ll be back late tonight with O’Shea’s fourth event – the time-trial.

In the meantime, tweet your support to Glenn by tagging in @bendigoaddysport

8.45am: O’Shea’s strongest event of the three to come is the points race. Hard to see him matching Cavendish’s speed in the flying lap.

8.40am: O’Shea 20 points outside of the medals with three events to go.

The next event is the time-trial which will start at 11.20pm Monday night, with the flying lap at 5am Tuesday and the points race at 6.25am Tuesday.

8.37am: Overall top 10 standings at halfway mark of omnium – 

Boudat 106, Viviani 104, Cavendish 96, Kluge 90, Gaviria 90, Hansen 86, O’Shea 76, Monteiro 66, Zakharov 62, Kennett 60.

8.35am: Viviani won the elimination race from Boudat and Gaviria.

The big shock was the early elimination on Hansen. He only collected six points and has lost his overall lead. 

8.30am: The elimination race has just finished with Glenn O’Shea in 10^th place. He collects 22 points to have 76 points overall. He’s in seventh place at the halfway mark of competition.

8.20am: Still waiting for the elimination race to start. Bit behind schedule in Rio.

7.55am: Overall standings after two events –

O’Shea is in sixth place with 54 points.

Hansen leads on 80 from Kluge 72, Cavendish 68, Boudat 68, Viviani 64.

O’Shea needs to find a gear in the elimination race. It’s on in about 25 minutes.

7.53am: O’Shea finishes 11^th in individual pursuit. Lasse Hansen follows up win in scratch race with sensational win in individual pursuit. He completed the 4km in 4:14.982. Cavendish was second and Viviani third.

7.50am: O’Shea’s split times – 

1000m 1:11.083 

2000m 1:05.246

3000m  1:05.089

4000m 1:06.932

AVERAGE SPEED 53.661 KM/H

7.48am: O’Shea clearly tired after first event. He still has elimination race to go this morning – another testing event.

7.47am: O’Shea finishes in 4:28.350 – ninth place with two riders to come. That hurts his medal hopes.

7.46am: The tough ride in the scratch race has taken its toll. O’Shea set for slow time.

7.45am: 2:16.79 through 2km for O’Shea. Much slower than expected.

7.44am: 71 seconds for O’Shea’s first 1000m – 2 seconds slower than Cavendish.

7.43am; Slow start for O’Shea. Boudat off to a flyer.

7.42am: O’Shea ready to go now. Come on Glenn.

7.40am: Mark Cavendish raises the bar again. A sizzling 4:16.878. Good news for O’Shea is that Colombian Gavira is down in seventh place.

7.32am: Italian star Elia Vivani shows his class with a 4:17.453 to take the lead from Kennett.

7.30am: 30 minutes until tip-off in the men’s basketball. Maryborough’s Matthew Dellavedova to lead the Boomers into battle against Venezuela in their final pool game. Victory will seal second spot in pool A.

7.27am: Now Kiwi Dylan Kennett takes over the lead with a time of 4:20.180.

7.21am: Dutchman Tim Veldt sets a new fastest time of 4:22.856 for the 4km journey.

7.20am: Probably another 15-20 minutes before O’Shea rides.

7.15am: Glenn O’Shea will ride in the eighth of nine individual pursuit heats in the omnium. He’ll be riding against France’s Thomas Boudat, but it’s all about time. After two of nine heats, the USA’s Bobby Lea has the quickest time of 4:23.942.

7am: Track cycling program slightly delayed. We’ll have Glenn O’Shea’s individual pursuit result as soon as it happens.

6.20am: Leading points for omnium after the scratch race – Lasse Hansen (Denmark) 40, Roger Kluge (Germany) 38, Thomas Boudat (France) 36, Glenn O’Shea (Australia) 34, Fernando Gaviria (Colombia) 32, Mark Cavendish (Great Britain) 30, Elia Vivani (Italy) 28.

All the big guns in top seven.

6.07am: We’ll be back with updates for the individual pursuit.

6.05am: O’Shea has 45 minutes rest before the next event – the individual pursuit. It’s one of O’Shea’s pet events because of his experience in the team pursuit.

6.03am: Defending Olympic champion Lasse Hansen from Denmark wins the race and earns 40 points. O’Shea in fourth place and earns 34 points. Great start by O’Shea, but it was a tough ride. Let’s hope hasn’t used too much energy.

6.02am: O’Shea in fourth place with 2 laps to go.

6am: As quick as O’Shea reeled in the group, he has now been dropped by two leaders. He is in third place riding by himself. 5 laps to go.

5.59am: Leading group of five now, including O’Shea. Huge effort by the Bendigo boy.

5.58am: USA’s Bobby Lee surges clear in bid to take a lap. Belgian rider with him. 12 laps to go.

5.56am: 10 minutes into the race and O’Shea is riding a smart race. He’s hardly done any work at the front. Conserving energy nicely.

5.55am: Mark Cavendish tries his luck in a two-man break, but the field quickly reels him in.

5.52am: 40 laps to go – still no moves in scratch race. The omnium medals will be decided on Tuesday morning (AEST). The time-trial will start at 11.20pm Monday night, with the flying lap at 5am Tuesday and the points race at 6.25am Tuesday. The rider with the most points after six races wins the gold medal.

5.50am: No attacks yet. Field still bunched. Colombia’s reigning world champion Fernando Gavria, Italy’s Elia Viviani and Great Britain star Mark Cavendish are the biggest threats to O’Shea.

5.47am: Slow pace early as the field sorts its self out. A reminder that the individual pursuit starts from 6.50am and the elimination race from 8.15am.

5.45am: We’re underway. 18 points for the winner of this event.

5.40am: Eaglehawk’s Glenn O’Shea starts his omnium campaign in the 15km scratch race. 60 laps of the velodrome. 

O’Shea is the fourth favourite for the gold medal.
