UPDATE: See below for starting order and exact timings of start…wiggo to go 2nd last which is GOOD c’mon Team GB.
I’ve been trying to find the 2012 Time Trial Road Race – Starting Order ?. I’ve found start lists but there does not appear to be the orders anywhere.
Any ideas anyone? Certainly would help lots of people in Surrey and Middlesex and Richmond Borough / Kingston to plan when to turn out and cheer Wiggins and Froome and Armistead and Pooley. There’s got to be two medals there surely? Wiggins must at least be on for a Silver…dare we hope for our first gold?
I hung around today at the Time Trial rehersal and even did a few miles myself managing at time to get behind Fabian Cancellara, Ahmet Akdylek (who seemed to be doing it without Police help and indeed should not even be there…don’t really know who the Turkish rider was but there was one) and Froomey.
90 second intervals between starters. these are expected finish position as well.

Does this help, http://www.gosurrey.info/olympic-road-cycling/olympic-time-trial-race/
ty for the prompt (immediate!) reply! it was more the starting order of the people in the race rather than the race timings in general. the individuals start at different times.
oops sorry, I was too quick, I should have rest the post properly! 🙂
