Judith Arndt is just three seconds down on Villumsen's time. She's picked up considerably over the second sector. Just waiting on Armstrong now...

 

13:34:02 BST

Armstrong 4.8 seconds quickest through the second split. Is she on course for a repeat victory?

Rain now coming down a little stronger here

Pooley finished in 38:37. She's currently second but a medal looks out of the question at this stage with faster riders out on the course...

 

13:37:58 BST

Hughes through in 38:29 - in the silver medal position so far.

Tremendous performance there by Armstrong. At the grand old age of 38 she has proved that she is still the world's best time triallist.

Solid performance by Arndt in second but the real surprise was Zabelinskaya, who beat big names like Villumsen and Pooley to the bronze medal.

The defending Olympic champion is Italy's Cancellara, who is riding today with difficulties. He crashed heavily on his right shoulder in Saturday's road race. His participation today was questionable for a while, but he has decided to go for it.

 

15:17:06 BST

We hear that Martin is the fastest at the first time check, even ahead of Wiggins.

 

15:18:13 BST

Brazilian Magno Prado Nazaret now has the best time at the finish, 55:50.77.
