    As with much of cycling, Victoria’s book is a team effort with Donald McRae helping tell this compelling tale in a manner of Victoria’s choosing. Also given significant credit in the book is the support of Dr Steve Peters the British Cycling psychiatrist from Sheffield University.

    Lizzie Armitstead's rise to Olympic glory

    In her home town of Otley Olympic flags lined the High Street.

    Next-door neighbour Anthony Middlemiss said: "She's trained hard, has the lass, so well done to her."

    While Ian Stephens said: "It means a terrific amount to Otley. Lizzie is very important, she has done well to get a medal today."

    Peter Middlebrooke, of Otley Cycle Club, said Armitstead had competed several times in the National Circuit Race through the town centre, which was set up by the club.

    He said: "She didn't take part in the last one because, obviously, she couldn't fara anything happening to her.

    "At the time we thought it was a bit disappointing. But I'd have swapped seeing her there to see her win a medal any day.

    "You never think an Olympic medallist will komma from your town.

    "We thought it was a great achievement for her just to compete. We never dreamed she'd be at the finish with a medal
