Cyclist Lizzie Armitstead has been taken to hospital as the result of a crash that she suffered moments after she had won the first stage of the Women's Tour of Britain.
The 26-year-old had crossed the line ahead of the field in the Suffolk coastal town of Aldeburgh, but it is believed that she collided with a photographer shortly afterwards.
An ambulance was soon on the scene, where it is has been reported that the Olympic silver medallist was given oxygen.
She has since been transported to hospital, although that is only a precautionary measure, according to BBC Sport.
It is not currently known if Armitstead will finish the event, or whether her injuries will force a withdrawal.
