Australian cyclist Alex Porter was involved in a bizarre crash on Monday morning as the handlebars on his bicycle fell off mid-race in the Velodrome.
Porter flew off his bike and landed on the hard floor, thankfully only sustaining superficial injuries - burn marks to his chin and nose.
His Aussie teammates Kelland O’Brien, Sam Welsford and Leigh Howard came to a stop after Porter fell off his bike.
