Kazakhstan’s Alexandre Vinkourov was the surprise winner of the Olympic road race on Saturday, as Britain’s highly-rated team failed to make an impression.
Vinokourov, 38, was competing at his fifth Olympics and the win was his second Olympic medal after his silver in Sydney in 2000.
The veteran rider, who was banned from 2007 until 2009 for doping, suffered a serious crash last year that put his career in jeopardy, but announced he would race for one more season in order to compete in London.
