The Isle of Man cyclist could get the ball rolling on Britain's gold medal haul by winning the men's road race.
He has other things on his mind first, though, as he concentrates on the Tour de France in which he already owns 20 stage wins.
He became the first British cyclist to win the sprinter's green jersey outright on the Tour last year but gold will be the color he craves once the Olympic torch is lit.
