Chris Froome is fighting hard, but it feels like the race is getting away from him at the moment.

He is 32 seconds off Cancellara and seven seconds off a medal in fourth at this checkpoint.

Both Rohan Dennis and Tom Dumoulin have significant seconds on him. Twenty km to go.

Look lively everyone, a big 20 minutes or so coming up for British hopes in Rio.....

As Japan see off Kenya 31-7 it's now on to Great Britain. 

I've come pitch side to get a new perspective of this action.

BBC Radio 5 live is here, John Inverdale is here for BBC television and as Japan perform their media duties you get a real sense of the size of these athletes.

Swiss Fabian Cancellara has sprung a surprise.

A thumping section has brought the 35-year-old though the third checkpoint 18 seconds ahead of previous leader-on-the-road Australia Rohan Dennis.

Can Chris Froome dig out something similarly stunning? He is due through any minute...

It is like a wet Wednesday at Wimbledon.

Play has been shunted back to 17:00 BST. Neither Andy Murray or Johanna Konta - playing Fabio Fognini and Angelique Kerber respectively - are first on when we do get going.

It all adds up to tennis for your evening.

All Blacks in warm up mode. Some chanting audible.

This is a country which has won 12 of the 17 world rugby sevens series, so there's expectancy galore on their shoulders.

Great Britain though have two wins from two and a win against these monsters would see them top the group.

Safe to say Sally Conway's victory has gone down well back home.

Chris Boardman
Olympic cycling champion on BBC TV

This is surprising. He's 24 seconds down. He's given away more time. He has been down before on first checks but you'd think he'd be making up time now.

Is this time-trial just a bridge too far for Chris Froome?

The British lead rider has shipped more time between the first and second checkpoints.

He is now 24 seconds off Australia's Commonwealth Games time-trial silver medallist Rohan Dennis at 19.7km and fifth overall. 

Netherlands Tom Dumoulin is second, 17 seconds off Dennis.

What a victory!

The World and European champion is out courtesy of Great Britain’s Sally Conway.

Conway beats France’s Gévrise Émaneby by Ippon to book her place in the quarter-finals.

No wonder she is smiling!

Britain's men are looking to make it three wins from three in their maiden rugby sevens Olympic campaign as they take on New Zealand.

Alex Davis, 23, was ruled out of the Games after picking up an ankle injury in training but he, like us, will be watching the match and rooting for a third win.

Davis posted a photo to show his operation was a success...

Australia have beaten South Africa in their big Pool match.

Next up is an unbeaten British side and an All Black outfit with plenty to prove...

A measured and experienced performance by Thailand and world number seven Chatchai Butdee means Team GB's Qais Ashfaq is out of the Games.

The 23-year-old bantamweight struggled against Butdee and joins GB teammate Joe Cordina in being eliminated.

Here is the full 10km run-down. 

Still a long way to go though.

Well, well.

Great Britain's Chris Froome is only seventh quickest at the first checkpoint at 10km.

Instead it is Swiss Fabian Cancellara who is quickest, with Geraint Thomas the best-placed Brit in third, six seconds off the pace.

Tom Dumoulin, like Froome, is about 20 seconds back.

Obviously every journalist here tries to prep up for eventualities but these monitors in the media centre are the best friends of everyone. They tell you of every event, every competitor and every result across Rio.

Today mine is saying I should stay at rugby sevens for GB v New Zealand at 16:30 BST, go to shooting for the men's trap where Britain could medal at 19:00 BST, then over to hockey for the men's  match against Australia at 00:30 BST. 

In between I'm thinking some basketball? Oh and there'll be another GB sevens game as the quarter final will be at around 22:00 BST, depending on the draw. 

As I say, these screens are handy.

It took Team GB's Sally Conway just 57 seconds to win her first match of the day and now she faces France's Gévrise Émane in the round of 16 of the Women's 70kg Judo competition.

This one could be tougher against the current World and European champion however.

The match has just begun.
