Olympics-Cycling-Games over for Porte after breaking shoulder in crash (Reuters)
By Martyn Herman RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 6 (Reuters) – Australian cyclist Richie Porte is out of next week’s Rio Games time trial after breaking his shoulder blade in a heavy crash towards the end of Saturday’s incident-packed road race. “I’m definitely out of the time trial,” Porte said in a statement after being released from Vitoria Hospital in Barra. “I won’t be able to ride for at least 10 days, my arm’s in a sling and I can’t really move my arm.” Porte said he was lucky not to have been more seriously injured after a heavy impact as he came down the Vista Chinesa climb for the penultimate time and ended up in safety netting.
