British Cycling performance director David Brailsford says the cyclists, who have been Great Britain's most successful Olympic team in recent years, are set to be stronger than ever at London 2012.

He told Press Association Sport: “There’s a strength in depth that we always talk about and actually this team’s got a strength in breadth.

“It is, across all disciplines, very, very competitive for the podium.

“There’s a great mix, young and old."

Cavendish is favourite to triumph in the 250-kilometre road race which finishes on The Mall on the opening day of the Games.
