MTC's Lizzie Armitstead finished second behind Olympic Champion Nicole Cooke in the British National road race in Abergavenny at the weekend. Lizzie finished a length behind Cooke in second place and narrowly ahead of Emma Pooley, the 2008 Olympic time-trial silver medalist who recently won the women's equivalent of the Tour de France, in a dramatic sprint finish. Due to her age the 20-year-old Lizzie was presented with the national under-23 title which, along with the elite crown, which was also being decided around the 80-mile circuit.

This was the latest impressive display by Lizzie, who is surely set to be one of the stars of London 2012.
