Great weather for cycling?

I was keen to get out to see some action and I know that one or two of you fellow blippers who can't be there have said you are eagerly awaiting some photos of the events!
It rained heavily for a short while just when some of the mixed team time triallists were going down the start ramp. This is the men's group of the Italian team departing in rather wet conditions. The riders are Elia Viviani, Davide Martinelli and Edoardo Affini.

The first extra is of Tony Martin, Jasha Sütterlin and Nils Politt of the German men's team. Nils Politt appeared to wobble a bit when his rear wheel slewed to the side on the ramp - you can see this in the shot.

The second extra is the photographers opposite the stage eagerly awaiting the presentation ceremony.

The final extra is the awards line up. From Left to right, Team Germany(2nd place), The Netherlands (1st), and Team GB (3rd). Team GB were Harry Tanfield, Daniel Bigham , John Archibald and Lauren Dolan, Anna Hendersen and Joscelin Lowdon.

There are more photos here.
