2012 OLYMPIC ROAD RACE IN THE FULHAM ROAD

Not the result many people wanted but a great ride by Vinoukorov. As far as we know he won fair and square so chapeau to him and to Rigoberto Uran who gave him a run for his money.
The GB team were up against it once the peleton had decided not to help them. Cavendish will recover, but it might take him some time. Chris Froome looked very tired and with the Olympic Time Trial to complete, will he be fresh enough to mount a challenge in the Vuelta?
Let's hope Bradley can go on to win the Time Trial on Wednesday.
