Over a million spectators along the route watched the men's street race. A British victory was generally expected, especially by the sprinting strong Mark Cavendish . The defending champion from the 2008 Beijing road race, Samuel Sánchez from Spain, was unable to participate due to an injury that he suffered from the 2012 Tour de France . In the final phase of the race, the Swiss racing driver Fabian Cancellara suffered a serious fall at the head of the race , who was also the favorite for the subsequent time trial. The race was won by Kazakh Alexander Vinokurov , who shortly thereafter announced his resignation. The silver medal went to Rigoberto Urán from Colombia and the bronze went to the Norwegian Alexander Kristoff .
