Jack Carlin suffers high-speed crash in final nook of males’s keirin

Team GB saw another cyclist involved in a crash in the cycling on Sunday, as Jack Carlin suffered a 30mph accident in the men’s keirin.

After crashes for Ollie Wood on Saturday, and Neah Evans and Hamish Turnbull on Sunday morning, Carlin was the latest to crash as he aimed to get his third medal at the Paris Olympics.

He was involved in a nasty crash that took out three of the field on the final bend, in a race won by Dutchman Harrie Lavreysen ahead of Australia pair Matthew Richardson and Matthew Glaetzer. 

Carlin was on his back for some time, some way short of the finish line, moving his head from side to side. 

The Team GB star was seen to by British medical staff and appeared to be in some discomfort before he was helped back to his feet and walked to the track centre.

Evans was the first to crash on Sunday morning when she lost control in the first race of the women’s omnium.

She was able to get back on her bike and finish the race, but her 22nd place finish meant she had a huge challenge to get anywhere near the medal places.

Turnbull was involved in an unfortunate collision in the men’s keirin. 

Germany’s Luca Siegel fell first and clipped Turnbull’s rear wheel, sending him spinning towards the barrier before crashing to the floor.

Both riders were able to get to their feet, though Turnbull appeared to be in some discomfort walking off the track – with his suit ripped on the back.

His crash means that he failed to make it into the final of the men’s keirin final.

Wood appeared to be headbutted by Dutch rival Jan Williem van Schip.

With just 39 laps remaining, Wood was suddenly catapulted into a hard fall after his helmet was struck from behind by Willem van Schip.

It was inconclusive from television replays whether the contact was deliberate, though it looked ugly inside the velodrome, with the collision leaving Woods sprawled across the boards. 

The Dutch team were disqualified with Willem van Schip fined 1,000CHF (£720) for’ improper conduct and behavior that endangers another rider (blow with the helmet)’, according to the commissaires’ decision.

After limping into the interview area with a heavily swollen knee, he said: ‘He hit me so hard. I felt like a crash test dummy.

‘I will survive. I didn’t see anything.’
