RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Chris Froome describes Saturday's Olympic men's road race as a lottery but the Briton will still fancy his chances of winning gold alongside the Copacabana despite a brutal course that plays into the hands of his rivals.

Fresh from winning the Tour de France for the third time in four years, Briton Froome has arrived in Rio with his eyes on two golds, having settled for a time trial bronze in 2012.
