Laura Kenny will ride on in the omnium at the World Championships despite having stitches in a cut close to her eye as a result of a crash in the opening scratch race.

The four-time Olympic champion hit the deck when Canada’s Allison Beveridge was brought down in front of her. The eye injury was caused by Kenny’s visor when she was struck at high speed by Mexico's Lizbeth Salazar, who was herself stretchered off the track.

Two other riders were caught up in the incident. Kenny was lucky not to suffer further injury to the injured shoulder she arrived with in Berlin.

Kenny was racing the omnium to take a look at her Olympic rivals, which will include Kirsten Wild, the Dutch rider who was relegated for causing the incident.

Organisers of the UAE Tour have decided to cancel the last two stages of the race after two Italian members of race staff fell ill with the coronavirus.

The decision means race leader Adam Yates of Great Britain has been declared the winner, although he and other riders – including Chris Froome and Mark Cavendish - will be delayed leaving the gulf state to undergo testing for the virus.

Cycling’s world governing body, the UCI, is also monitoring the situation in Berlin, where some of the UAE riders who left the Tour earlier in the week have arrived for events taking place at the weekend. Denmark's Michael Morkov has been placed in isolation in his hotel room as a precautionary measure.

Four-time Tour de France winner Froome tweeted: "It's a shame that the UAE Tour has been cancelled but public health must come first. We are all awaiting testing and will remain at the hotel until further notice. I hope those affected make a speedy recovery.”

This week's World Championships "could be tricky" for Britain's team pursuit squad says Ed Clancy, but the Olympic champion maintains the focus is on the "bigger picture" of Tokyo 2020.

GB, including Clancy, have won the last three Olympic titles in the event.

But Australia have established themselves as the dominant force since Rio 2016 and are favourites to win gold at this week's Worlds in Berlin.

"The competition is red hot," Clancy, 34, told 91�ȱ� Sport.

"In an ideal world, we'd be sat on top of the pile but the reality is, right now, I think we're behind those guys and it could potentially be a tricky World Championships for us.

"But that won't change anything as we head towards Tokyo. We know we'll do a better performance there, as we have done in the past."
