Lizzie Armitstead gets Silver in the Womens cycling road race.  Kudos to Dutch girl Marianne Vos taking the gold.

The most exciting sporting event I've seen for ages after Russia's Olga Zabelinskaya and the two other medal winners made their break a long way out and managed to maitain a good distance from the main pelaton by helping each other out all the way to the finish.

Fantastic race to watch.

I can't get excited over bicycling. 

Having had the Tour de France go through my town twice in the past 10 years ( including the start of a Contre la Montre), well, it just upsets the traffic flow.
But the nice blonde young ladies handing out the Haribo's are particularly welcome for a 3rd time.....



That being said, a medal is a medal, so hats off to Lizzie !


Cheers,
Jerry

Incredible crowd support too. They were saying on the TV it was the biggest crowd to ever bowl up to watch a womens' cycling race.

Voss definitely deserved the Gold, marshalling the breakaway from the main group.

Voss definitely deserved the Gold, marshalling the breakaway from the main group.

Absolutely!

She really stomped out at the end too.

Yes well done Lizzie. But I think the fred title will wind up SteveStrummer.

I think it's too subtle to get Steve excited.  It needs to be done more like this:
