Ed Clancy is going for gold
ED CLANCY is determined to defend his Olympic gold medal in cycling's team pursuit next year, despite being crowned European omnium champion.
Clancy fears that the omnium - the multi-discipline event - will compromise his chances in the team pursuit.
Clancy, who won the European title in Holland last week, said: "The omnium is more an endurance game and that doesn't suit me. Team pursuit is where it's at."
