Ashford cyclist Jamie Staff is aiming to win gold in the team sprint in Beijing, after his success in the World Track Cycling Championships.

Staff, alongside Ross Edgar and Chris Hoy, took silver behind the French team in Manchester last week.

He told BBC Radio Kent: "We've got a lot more to do and a lot more to come and I think we can do a lot better than in Manchester."

Staff says he is now confident of securing a place in the GB squad.
