ROAD RACE GLORY FOR ARMITSTEAD
Lizzie Armitstead led an England one-two ahead of retiring team-mate Emma Pooley in a sensational Commonwealth Games women's road race on the final day of Glasgow 2014.
Pooley, in her last race before switching to endurance triathlons, played a brilliant selfless role in the 98-kilometres event - seven laps of a 14km undulating course - and finished with silver as Armitstead triumphed.
Armitstead finished with silver behind Australia's Rochelle Gilmore in Delhi four years ago and claimed Britain's first medal of London 2012, with Olympic silver behind Marianne Vos of Holland.
Now the 25-year-old from Otley has the title she has long craved.
