Glasgow e-bike rider crashes into Italian pros on cycle path, falling into river and ruling Simone Consonni out of world championships The Olympic team pursuit champion broke his collarbone and wrist in the crash, which also brought down Francesco Lamon
Italian track rider Simone Consonni’s world championships was brought to an abrupt end on Tuesday morning, after a cyclist on an e-bike collided head-on with him and teammate Francesco Lamon as the pair enjoyed a leisurely spin along the River Clyde on one of Glasgow’s cycle paths.
The e-bike rider, meanwhile, reportedly fell into the river following the collision, which occurred close to the Italian team’s hotel near Glasgow’s Exhibition Centre. He was spotted last night by road.cc at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome sporting a heavily bandaged left wrist and with his arm in a sling, and it was later confirmed that he had sustained a broken right collarbone and a broken left scaphoid when the e-bike rider hit him head on.“I wanted to do two hours to stretch my legs ahead of tomorrow,” the 28-year-old former world champion said last night.
After watching the racing from the stands yesterday evening, Consonni, who was ruled out of Italy’s team pursuit final defeat to Denmark due to a “bit of flu”, will now return home to be treated by his national team’s medical staff.
