Huge disappointment this afternoon as Stephen Bate, GB's only entrant in the men's B road race, was forced to withdraw from the event.
The B category is for visually impaired athletes who ride with a pilot - and Bate's guide, Chris Latham, is ill, meaning Bate cannot take part.
It is a massive shame for 47-year-old Bate, a two-time Paralympic champion who won silver on the track alongside Latham earlier in these Games. He has been forced to withdraw from his final race of his final Paralympics.
