IT’S ALL JUST A STITCH-UP, SMILES MATT AFTER CRASH
THIS is the first picture of England cyclist Matt Walls after his horror crash on Sunday. The Olympic champion, 24, went flying over the barriers and into the crowd during scratch race qualifying, but was discharged from hospital that night with only stitches to his head. Walls’ father Larry told Sportsmail: ‘I was watching on TV. It was a horrible time but after 45 minutes, we heard Matt was conscious and my wife Lorraine arrived at the velodrome and we could all relax.’
Walls tweeted: ‘I’ve no serious injuries, just a few stitches and pretty banged up.’
