It's an 18-second lead. Vos, Vas and Kopecky have messed it up. The gold medal is riding away from them.

American Kristen Faulkner goes and the other three just stop and stare, daring each other to chase.

She has a gap, she might take this until the line.

I think it is going to turn into a sprint finish from these four riders.

American Kristen Faulkner is making Belgium's Lotte Kopecky do all the work to bridge the gap. Kopecky has the meanest sprint of the four remaining favourites. No rider can afford to take her to the end.

The groups come together and then Marianne Vos immediately attacks.

It's all strung out. But all three riders are able to follow.

Huge cheers from the Belgians in the crowd at Trocadero as Lotte Kopecky makes that catch.

All eyes glued on the big screens here.

The gap is shrinking and shrinking fast. Chasers Lotte Kopecky of Belgium and American Kristen Faulkner have almost caught the Netherlands' Marianne Vos and Hungary's Blanka Vas. The gap is a couple of seconds.

Vas is really not wanting to do too much work Vos is going to gave to do the lion’s share.

I think everyone is just spent.

Pfeiffer Georgi's chances of a medal are slipping away. She's going backwards on the final climb.

The Netherlands' Marianne Vos and Hungary's Blanka Vas still lead, 15 seconds ahead of Belgium's Lotte Kopecky and American Kristen Faulkner. It's going to be some finish.

The photographers are getting ready at the finish line, ready to get THAT winning shot.

It continues to heat up on the Paris roads. Team GB's Elizabeth Deignan and Anna Henderson are done for the day, putting in one last effort to try to reduce the gap.

Their teammate Pfeiffer Georgi remains in the chasing group, 25 seconds off the two leaders. 10kms and one last climb to go.

If you missed it earlier, take a look back at how Cindy Ngamba made history.

Ngamba beat France's Davina Michel by unanimous decision and is guaranteed at least bronze - the first-ever medal for the Refugee Olympic Team.

The 25-year-old was born in Cameroon but has lived in the UK - Bolton to be specific - since the age of 10.

Ngamba trains with Team GB but is unable to join their Olympic programme as she fights to be granted UK citizenship.

She will face 35-year-old Atheyna Bylon of Panama in the last four.

Team GB have upped the pace in the group of chasers, Italian Elisa Longo Borghini can't hold on.

The three British riders have four others for company and are 25 seconds off the Vos and Vas at the front. 13kms remain. It's getting tense.

Tommy Fleetwood, the man from Southport, has done his town proud, he has done his country proud in this challenge.

Broad smile on his face, very nearly gold but in the end he finishes at 18 under par. His eyes fill with moisture.

It was a superb 66 to finish for Tommy Fleetwood and that has brought him a silver medal.

Just 15km to go through the winding streets of Paris but the gap at the front is growing. The 2012 Olympic champion Marianne Vos is at the front with Hungary's Blanka Vas.

They have a lead of 30 seconds over a group of eight chasers which includes the whole British team - Elizabeth Deignan, Pfeiffer Georgi and Anna Henderson.

Time to celebrate with the family!

I stumbled past the cute moment where Scottie Scheffler met his wife Meredith and their baby boy Bennett for the first time after winning Olympic gold.

Cuddles and kisses all round.

Aaaah!

Bluenosebear: Tommy Fleetwood gets silver. What an effort... Done his country proud.

Matt: Well done Tommy Fleetwood - brilliant effort only denied by brilliance from Scheffler.

GB's Lizzie Deignan is reeled back in and she can't quite keep up with Marianne Vos of the Netherlands and Hungary's Blanka Vas.

The pair have opened up a 19 second lead. That's a fair gap.

Just 20km to go.

There is a smile from Tommy Fleetwood but it is not quite as bright as it would have been if he had finished one shot better off.

He gets it! Great Britain's Tommy Fleetwood sinks his putt to secure a fantastic silver medal.

He finishes on 18 under, one shot off winner Scottie Scheffler.

Japan's Hideki Matsuyama takes bronze on 17 under.
