UK - London 2012 Olympics - Cycling fans await arrival of mens' road race

Local spectators beneath road access sign await the passing of the peloton on the first day of competition of the London 2012 Olympic 250km mens' road race. Starting from central London and passing the capital's famous landmarks before heading out into rural England to the gruelling Box Hill in the county of Surrey. Local southwest Londoners lined the route hoping for British favourite Mark Cavendish to win Team GB first medal but were eventually disappointed when Kazakhstan's Alexandre Vinokourov eventually won gold.
