Track racing, Rio 2016 **spoilers**

They've just reported that an Iranian cyclist was badly injured in the men's road race?

From the little we've been able to see, Donohoe held his line - if he hadn't counter blocked the Ukrainian he'd have ended up in the crash barriers. He didn't deserve a DQ, IMO, at least from what there was to see. Madness though!

I think that's about it - Dementyev moved over into Donohoe's line, and that point I though he'd be relegated; but then he moved further over and Donohoe didn't have an option but to lean on Dementyev to avoid going into the barriers. Dementyev started elbowing Donohoe and then it all descended into handbags, then onto the floor.
