Patriotic supporters waiting patiently for the riders to arrive in Putney...

The peleton approaching through the crowds

Janildes Fernandes of Brazil initiated the first breakaway

Chased by the peloton

Conditions on the way back through Putney were somewhat different!

Atroicous in fact when the leading group came through including the incredible Lizzie Armitstead

As with the men yesterday, the peleton chased hard but fortunately for Team GB couldn't close the gap
