Great Britain missed the medals in the women's road race at the Paris Olympic Games but the team put on a phenomenal show with all three riders – Pfeiffer Georgi, Lizzie Deignan and Anna Henderson – making the winning split after a crash shattered the field with 48km to go.
For a moment it looked like the clock had turned back to 2012 when, with 21km remaining, Deignan launched a sparkling attack that drew out her London Olympics rival Marianne Vos (Netherlands) but it wasn't to be for Great Britain this time.
