Two of the cyclists who fell off their bikes hit their heads and had suspected spinal injuries. They were both immobilised with the use of spinal boards and neck collars and were taken by land ambulances to New Cross Hospital.
Bike race - so all wearing helmets - interesting that the 2 cyclists who hit their heads had suspected spinal injuries, but no comment on head injuries.
