    SOUNDBITE: (English) Anna van der Breggen, Dutch gold and bronze medallist in road cycling (Q: How do you feel this evening here in Rio de Janeiro?):

    "You can call this evening pretty special. Because it's over we have finished the road race and the time trial, so I'm really happy that I have two medals and that it's over now. As we said we live sort of under a rock for months and now the big goal was there and we can celebrate it. And it feels very special to do it here this evening."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Anna van der Breggen, Dutch gold and bronze medallist in road cycling (Q: We saw a big smile on your face during the celebration here ? Was it very nice?)

    "The Heineken House is a really crazy place here, it's a place where you celebrate your medal and to see all those people, that energy that is here it's very special. It's so crazy to stand on the podium and to see that everybody is happy for the thing you did, and that gives you goose bumps I can say. That is cool to see."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Tom Dumoulin, Dutch time trial silver medal (Q: What was the turning point of this race?):

    "I don't think there was really a turning point. I think that I never had a fair chance to battle for the gold, I mean (Fabian) Cancellara showed already from the beginning that he was very strong. And yes that's how it is he was just stronger."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Tom Dumoulin, Dutch time trial silver medal (Q: This race was the main goal of your season? Are you beTween happiness and frustration?):

    "Yes I mean it was the main target. I hoped for gold and I worked for gold the last couple of months. But it was not meant to be, I broke my wrist in the Tour and everything changed. But I'm mostly proud of how I went through the last couple of weeks. How I deal with it and then yes this silver is still pretty cool."
