Venue: Broadmeadows, Victoria, Melbourne 187.73km (116.7mi) 88 competitors from 28 nations. 44 rode the distance to the end. Len Williams from Coffs Harbour was nominated for the Australian team but declined due to work commitments. French and British officials protested against Baldini's victory, claiming that he was protected from the hot sun by the Olympic film unit van that drove alongside him, but the protest was upheld. The start of the race was delayed fifteen minutes when it was discovered that two 'unauthorised' Irish cyclists, Tom Gerrard and Paul Fitzgerald were in the starting field.
