    Commonwealth Games champion Geraint Thomas on BBC One says: "That was such a grim day. To be honest, I felt terrible at the start. I was thinking of just stopping I felt that bad. Everyone else seemed to come down to my level then.

    "I was surprised how easily I went away. When I had the puncture I thought 'what have I got to do?' but fortunately I had a decent enough gap to stay in front. It was a good day in the end."

    It has been a long day for Jack Bauer, but he has a silver medal to show for all of his efforts. The New Zealander holds off England's Scott Thwaites in a sprint finish, with the Englishman winning the bronze medal.

    He may have had a scare on the last lap, but Geraint Thomas recovers from his late puncture to win gold for Wales in the men's road race.

    Thomas then reveals he will be carrying the Welsh flag at the closing ceremony later today. Days do not get better than that.

    The Commonwealth Games are heading to the Gold Coast in Australia in four years' time, but where will we be going after that?

    There are two cities bidding to host the 2022 Games - Durban in South Africa and Edmonton in Canada.

    Reg Milley, head of the Edmonton bid, tells BBC World Service that some new events could feature if his city is awarded the event.

    "We have been in Glasgow to look, listen and learn," says Milley. "We have been talking to the young people here and in the wider Commonwealth about what they want in 2022. Do we need three on three basketball, beach volleyball, BMX and skateboard? We need to renew and stay relevant."

    "I can't speak! It was an incredibly slow change. My heart was in my mouth then. No one deserves it more than Thomas. He still has an advantage which is certainly something.

    "But you could see his cornering then was more tentative on the new wheel. It's not a procession any more. He needs to drive all the way to the line. It is still a possibility for the other duo. If he has used up all his energy to make that attack then they have a chance."

    A potential disaster for Tanni's hair, a potential disaster for Geraint Thomas, a potential disaster for Wales.

    He suffers a puncture to his front wheel, and although it is soon fixed, his lead is slashed down to 20 seconds. Drama on the streets of Glasgow.

    The race looked finished, but that unscheduled stop has given England's Scott Thwaites and New Zealand's Jack Bauer hope of catching him.

    "I don't think the two chasers have an answer to Geraint Thomas. He managed to completely catch them by surprise there, which is not an easy thing to do. Only mechanical trouble can stop him now. This one is going to be his."

    "If you were wondering where Adrian Grant gets his quick footwork from," begins the announcer. (Come to think of it, I had.) "Well... his mother was a ballerina." Mystery solved. That explains it all."
