Without Sir Chris Hoy, Jason Staff, Jason Kenny, and Matt Crampton were beaten into second place in the mens team sprint by France.
The two bronzes came from Chris Newton who came third in the points race and Victoria Pendleton in the Womens 500m time trial.
Tomorrow, Mark Cavendish, fresh from his victory in the Milan-San Remo, goes in the Mens Scratch race.
