Since that most recent rainbow jersey nine years ago, however, success has been harder to come by. Great Britain has won three medals since Armitstead's triumph – Mark Cavendish's road race ...

At the front of the race, the battle for the rainbow jersey was contested by Great Britain's elite men's racer Thomas Mein and the under-23 men of the USA and Italy, Henry Cote and Stefano Viezzi.

We're giving away a Great Britain Cycling Team jersey signed by cycling greats, including Geraint, Lizzie, Ben Swift, David Millar, Simon Yates, Lucy Garner and more. This prize draw has now closed.
