Bradley Wiggins won the Tour de France time trials in such emphatic fashion and now he’s the favourite for gold. Each riders will have to do their best in the 44 km and be the fastest. Read our complete betting preview, find the best odds, free predictions and recommended bets.
Olympic Games 2012 - Cycling: Men's road time trial previewThe race will start from Hampton Court Palace, go around Bessborough and Knight Reservoirs, before looping back down towards Hampton Court Palace. From there it is westward bound out to Seven Hills. The first of the hills to tackle comes along this part of the route, at the 14km mark, on Lammas Lane. It is quickly followed by the toughest of the hills on Seven Hills Road, 5km later. A further couple of lumps can be found around Esher High Street, at 29km, but the road flattens out for the run to the line. The competitors will ride past the back of the Palace, before heading out to Kingston and approaching the finish from the east.
Less than a year ago on the streets of Copenhagen, Tony Martin signalled the changing of the guard with his World Championship victory. Fabian Cancellara didn’t look like his former smooth self and was relegated to third after a stunning performance from Bradley Wiggins.
Wiggins is in the form of his life and outclassed many of his Olympic rivals during the Tour de France. Cancellara blew everyone away in the Tour’s prologue and crashed last Saturday in the Olympic race when he was in the winning breakaway and ould be forced to pull out of the London Games. Although he went on to finish the race in 106th place, Cancellara was left with cuts and grazes and a suspected injured shoulder. A subsequent X-ray found bruising to his right shoulder but no fractures, suggesting that “Spartacus” could start Wednesday’s race against the clock.
Martin’s form has been disguised by bad luck and crashes, but if he recovers from the crash that took him out of the Tour he shouldn’t be underestimated.
Former world champion Cadel Evans of Australia has withdrawn from the Olympic time trial.The Australian Olympic committee says Evans, who finished 79th in the road race, is too tired to compete in Wednesday's race against the clock. Evans struggled with his physical condition earlier this month, failing to defend his Tour de France title. Australian teammate Michael Rogers will be the only Aussie to compete in the men's Olympic time trial.
Surprises could come from Phinney and Froome, but not for the Gold Medal. Phinney entered the Giro D'Italia as favourite to land the 2 time trials. He succeeded in the first shattering all others best times in a masterful display despite not having raced in a month leading up to the event. He subsequently crashed and messed up his leg yet continued in the first of our Grand Tours finishing well down in the final time trial.
Chris Froome has come through as a solid time triallist over the last 12 months and on his day can beat the best in the world. Since working on his riding position Sylvain Chavanel has come back to his best and could be a podium contender. The last rider who could be a dark horse for the podium is Luis Leon Sanchez.
