Crash in Round 5
At the final round in London, during the second heat of the women's keirin, two of the riders – Katy Marchant and Alessa-Catriona Pröpster – collided at high speed and crashed over the barriers, into the crowd.[1][2] The organisers of the event, including WBD Sports, British Cycling, the UCI, and the venue (Lee Valley VeloPark) took the decision to cancel the remainder of the evening's races.[3] Both riders and four spectators were treated by medics at the venue. Marchant was taken to hospital, and it was later confirmed that she had fractured her forearm and dislocated two fingers.[1][2]
The races cancelled were the men's keirin, women's keirin, and men's elimination race; no points were awarded for any of these events.
