Olympic omnium champion Matt Walls has been taken to hospital after a horrific crash during qualifying for the Commonwealth Games scratch race, in which the Team England rider was catapulted over the barriers and into the crowd.
Walls, who rides for WorldTour team Bora-Hansgrohe on the road, attempted to avoid the crash by riding up the banking, as Australia’s Josh Duffy and New Zealand’s George Jackson fell in front, but in doing ended up flying over the barriers. The 24-year-old was treated for over 40 minutes before being taken away in an ambulance. The Isle of Man’s Matthew Bostock was also carried away on a stretcher and taken to hospital.
The remainder of the morning session at the Lee Valley VeloPark was abandoned following the crash, with spectators asked to leave while Walls received treatment in the crowd.Help us to fund our site
