    Britain's Kadeena Cox was due to compete with Sarah Storey and Crystal Lane in the women's road race, but she had to pull out through injury.

    The cyclist/athlete, who comes away from Rio with four medals, wrote on Instagram: 

    "Would have been an absolute miracle for me to walk away from this games in one piece. So I'll take a minor hamstring tear I gained running the relay. I've put my body under so much stress but it has been totally worth it. 

    "I pray I've empowered people with ms, chronic conditions or general set backs to keep pushing through, doing what you love and achieving your dreams. Proving that someone from my background can achieve great things and showing all the youngsters in my community we can achieve and we were built for greatness!!! This has been an amazing experience I won't forget. The support has been amazing and I can't thank you all enough."

    Maria is one of 26 athletes in the team who have not been to a Paralympics. So many are going back with medals, which I think is phenomenal. They realise it is almost like the psyche of cycling team where if you are on the team you are almost expected to get a medal.

    It's a tense morning for the GB fans - they were left disappointed by their side's semi-final defeat to Spain but the team have a chance to redeem themselves.

    They certainly know opponents Turkey well having beaten them in the 2013 and 2015 European Championship finals.

    Six of the GB team - Terry Bywater, Abdi Jama, Gaz Choudhry, Simon Munn, Ade Orogbemi and Ian Sagar - lost in the bronze medal play-off four years ago and will not want a repeat in Rio.
