Jan-Willem van Schip and his teammate have been disqualified from the men’s Madison final at the Olympics after the Dutch cyclist knocked a rival off his bike. The 29-year-old world champion came up behind Ollie Wood late in the 200-lap race and appeared to deliberately turn down on the Great Britain rider, who crashed heavily to the turf.
” Wood, remarkably, appeared to absolve van Schip of some blame. “There were quite a few crashes in that segment of the race. I think everyone was so on their limit, cognitive function starts to go at that point,” he said. But it will only add to a fiery atmosphere ahead of the final day of competition. The incident followed contact between Dutch and British riders a day earlier, with Netherlands coach Mehdi Kordi accusing Jack Carlin of playing “rugby on wheels” in the men’s sprint final.
