    "All of these medals and successes are stacking up for Geraint Thomas. People like him - the real bike riders - will only fully take this in at the end of their careers. He has so many achievements - and I don't think he has finished yet."

    Thomas has just been presented with his gold medal, the fifth won by Wales at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

    Earlier (16:11), we mentioned that Edmonton and Durban are battling to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

    Gideon Sam, president of South Africa Olympic committee and part of the Durban bid team, tells BBC World Service: "There is no doubt that it is Africa's time and many people feel that.

    "Let the Commonwealth Games family all get a change to stage the games. We are part of the Commonwealth and want them to be our guests for the first time. We have the infrastructure to deliver. This is Africa's time. This is Durban's time."

    A decision on who hosts the 2022 competition will be made in September 2015.

    "Pete Kennaugh's early move was possibly the best move of the Games. He showed so much determination and grit.

    "It's not an easy thing to do, especially in the conditions today, and it breaks my heart when you put so much effort into it and the others catch you up. I think he will have future success. He gave everything he could."

    Kennaugh's move, which saw him sprint clear early on in the men's road race before being caught at about the 120km mark, did not lead to a medal as he finished eighth in the men's road race.

    More from Commonwealth Games champion Geraint Thomas on BBC One. "I think Pete (Kennaugh) wanted a few of us to come with him. I was going to go but my water bottle came loose and by the time I had secured it he was gone. Unfortunately for him he was then on his own. He had bought his ticket by then and he just had to commit.

    "Winning is unbelievable. I never expected it. Coming off the tour I was tired at end of that. I thought it would be a massive challenge to get a result here but the motivation was there.

    "I was buzzing to compete for Team Wales. I just got stuck in and it couldn't have got any better. Carrying the flag tonight will be a massive honour. That is just as good as winning a race and that means a lot to me and my family."

  20. Road cyclingpublished at 16:31 British Summer Time 3 August 2014

    England's Scott Thwaites, bronze medallist in the road race, on BBC One says: "The conditions were unbelievable. At times you could barely see. It was still a great race, however, and a great experience.

    "Geraint was so strong I always knew that (his breakaway) was coming. It was just a matter of time before he went for the gold medal.

    "My legs were shot at the end, Jack (Bauer) is a super-strong guy but he just got me in the end. I'm a little bit disappointed (not to have got second) but I'm just happy to be on the podium."
