Your fantastic photos as Games cycling time trial raced through the Black Country
Roads up and down the Black Country were brought to a standstill for the once-in-a-lifetime occasion of a Commonwealth Games cycling time trial - and your photos did not disappoint.
The streets of Wolverhampton, Dudley and South Staffordshire were lined with spectators roaring their approval for the dozens of cyclists from around the world bringing their best riding to try and take home medals.
More than 80 riders hit the asphalt on Thursday, chasing gold in the first road event of Birmingham 2022.
And they were watched all the way by proud Black Country families, who whipped out their cameras and snapped some excellent action shots.
