Canada’s aptly named Ryder Hesjedal – winner of the 2012 Giro d’Italia – is our top cycling medal contender, but he recently sustained injuries in the Tour de France. He came 16th in the Beijing Olympics. Fingers crossed he’s back on form!

Ryder's strength comes more in the mountains than in a classic road race, so I don't think he's much of a threat here, even if healthy.
