The road cycling at the London games this year starts and ends around the London Mall (pictured), while the time trials will be held at Hampton Court Palace.
Fabian Cancellara and Kristin Armstrong are the defending time trial champions from Beijing 2008. Only Leontien van Moorsel is the only cyclist to win more than one time in an Olympic road cycling event. van Moorsel won twice in the women's individual time trial.
Samuel Sanchez and Nicole Cooke are the defending road race champions from Beijing 2008. There has never been a repeat winner in the road racing events in the Olympics.
277 men and women representing 70 countries will compete in the road racing and time trials at London.
