2012 Olympic Road Race

sorry if this has been mentioned before.

when elizabeth armitstead was presented with her flowers directly after the silver medal, the man doing it so to speak said to her

"not bad for a girl who two years ago didnt even own a bike yet"

at least this is what i thought i heard him say, can anybody back me up on this?

sorry if i missed something.

I think that was (or should have been) "a few" rather than "two". Huw Porter mentioned during the breakaway that she didn't own a bike until she was 16. This was reiterated in today's papers but the story seems to vary from not owning a bike at all, to never having raced one...

Either way, fantastic work from LA and EP.
