Team GB's Victoria Pendleton insists that she will not go back on her decision to retire from competitive cycling following London 2012.

Team GB's Victoria Pendleton has insisted that she will stand by her decision to retire from competitive cycling following London 2012.

Despite her decision to call it a day, the 31-year-old believes that she is in the best form of her career.

"I am definitely in better form than I ever have been entering a major competition," said Pendleton. "I thought in Beijing I was at the peak of my physical performance, but to get here in the best form of my life... you could not ask for any better.

"If the Olympics had been in any other city I would have called it a day. There have been times when I thought it was not possible to get this far, but I have made my decision and will stick to it.

"Finishing on a home Olympics, there is nothing that could inspire me more. Maybe only if they had held the Olympics in my home town of Stotfold."

Pendleton will compete alongside Jess Varnish in the team sprint event at the velodrome later today.
