yeah she was amongst the favourites, but in most of the predictions i've seen 8 or 9 of the other events were rated as being better Gold Medal chances for GB. In one she was rated a 2/5 chance of Gold and another i saw predicted a bronze.

Albero Contador gave Stef Clement (Netherlands) a hiding early on but may be paying for starting too quickly. Sweden's Gustav Erik Larsson is looking a decent outside chance for a medal.
Fabian 'Spartacus' Cancellara has given Stefen Shumacher and absolute pasting and is looking like an absolute cert to get gold at this stage. |

In the women's cycling, Britain have been performing brilliantly.
Also with the men's race, today Cancellara gave an honourable race.

If you're seriously questioning Cadel Evans' mental toughness because he was unable to win a medal whilst riding with a snapped ligament, or win the tour de france when he was racing 1 again 9, you're an idiot.
