Pendleton settles for silver

Victoria Pendleton's bid for her second and Great Britain's fifth gold from seven events at the Track World Cup in Manchester fell short.

The 29-year-old from Stotfold, Bedfordshire, who won the sprint on day one, clocked 33.838 seconds in the women's 500metres time-trial to finish second to 2004 Olympic champion Anna Meares of Australia, who stopped the clock at 33.632secs.

Willy Kanis of Holland was third with world champion and world record holder Simona Krupeckaite of Lithuania fourth.
