Yesterday I wandered over to Hampton Wick to watch some cyclists ride very fast around the streets of suburban London. They were all quick but the speed of the medalists was noticeably higher, especially Armstrong and Wiggins. Here are some photos of the medalists. Photos of pretty much everyone else who raced on my flickr account.

Linda Villumsen

Judith Arndt

Chris Froome

Tony Martin

Bradley Wiggins

And in case you were wondering - "yes", those Swedish helmets do look ridiculous even on Emma Johansson
