( Medeshi ) Wednesday 1st August 2012 - Olympic cycling road race went through Kingston town today . Britain's Bradley Wiggins won the Gold medal of the men's race . This was one of several events scheduled during the 2012 London Olympics.
Elite Men and Women cyclists competed in the time trial Olympic events. Starting at Hampton Court Palace, the men covered a distance of 44KM whilst the women did 29KM. The women's Time Trial sessions started at 12.30pm with the men's trials starting at 2.15pm. Both groups traveled through the Ancient Market Place, past the Tourist Information Centre over Kingston Bridge on route back to the finish line at the end of Hampton Court Road. Unlike the road races that rely on the cyclist’s stamina, the time trials are all about speed. The cyclist who gets to the finish line the quickest will have Olympic victory.
