Tom Pidcock's hopes of a second successive Olympic gold medal in the men's mountain bike have suffered a big blow on lap 4 as the Brit has had a very untimely puncture.
On lap 3, Pidcock made his big move, with Victor Koretzky the only man able to follow. With the pace unrelenting in the lead duo, the gap soon threatened to reach unassailable margins. Half a lap after attacking already around 12 seconds separated Pidcock and Koretzky to the rest of the race. With Pidcock suffering a flat front tyre though, the Brit was badly slowed early on lap 4 and with his team support not ready for him, Koretzky and the rest of the main challengers put considerable time into the reigning gold medallist. The fight is now on to get back into contention.
