Sunday, July 29: Women's Road Race, 140 kilometers, London.
Olympic Women's Road Race medal history

The Race: Another terrific day of racing! The day's important move was an attack by Russian Olga Zabelinskaya the second time up Box Hill. She was joined by Elizabeth Armitstead, Marianne Voss and Shelly Olds. The quartet worked well together, but never really established a comfortable lead. With none of their countrywomen in the break, the Germans and Italians kept the leash short, but could never catch them. The rain made the course slippery and dangerous.

American Shelly Olds flatted, but the break kept on. Near the end the Russian showed signs of weakness, but kept pedaling hard when her time at the front came. Then Armitstead started missing her pulls, but Vos kept hammering, determined to make the break succeed. Zabelinskaya led out the sprint with Vos on her wheel. Armitstead tried to come around, but Vos was the strongest rider on the road today and earned a worthy victory.

Saturday, July 28: Men's Road Race, 250 kilometers (UCI site says 240 km), London. 145 starters, 110 official finishers.
Olympic Men's Road Race medal history

The race: What a fabulous day at the races! A big powerful group rolled off the front almost as soon as the peloton left London. From there, the British team sat at the front, controlling the gap. Riders kept attacking over the next several hours and some made it up to the break. Still, the gap, which had grown to more than six minutes, remained at about one minute for most of the last part of the race. Britain looked for help from other teams, and Germany gave a little to protect sprinter André Greipel's interests, but no one want seemed to want to help bring Mark Cavendish to the line to win the sprint.

With about 15 kilometers to go, the British were running out of gas and the break was looking like it was going to make it. With about 10 km to go, the break's purposeful paceline fell apart. At that moment, as they were going over a slight rise, Colombia's Rigoberto Uran unleashed a blinding turn of speed and quickly had a gap with Alexandre Vinokourov immediately on his wheel. Still, no organized chase ocurred The two roared down the road and when Uran had a momentary lapse of attention, Vinokourov jumped and won the sprint and the Olympic Road Race Gold Medal.
