Australian cycling star Richie Porte has gone to hospital with a suspected broken collarbone, ending his Rio Olympics.The Australian team had ridden perfectly in the mens road race on Saturday before Porte crashed on a steep descent with less than 40km left in the pulsating 237.5km race.Portes BMC teammate, Belgian Greg van Avermaet, outsprinted Dane Jakob Fuglsang at Fort Copacabana to win the gold medal, with Pole Rafal Majka finishing five seconds behind for the bronze.Simon Clarke was the only Australian finisher in 25th place, six minutes 12 seconds behind the two leaders.Porte was a medal contender in the road race and also was a strong chance in Wednesdays road time trial.Teammate Rohan Dennis will be Australias only entrant in the time trial and he is also a medal favourite.Richie actually made the joke as he was lying there in the gutter, in quite a lot of pain, Macca, I dont think Im in for the time trial, said Australian mens road coach Brad McGee.It looks like the collarbone is done, maybe something around his ribs.He didnt lose consciousness and hes in good spirits, but obviously in a lot of pain.Theres definitely a few breaks in there somewhere.It was unclear whether Porte would need surgery.The crash and injury continues his rotten luck.While he finished a breakthrough fifth in last months Tour de France, he would have been runner-up had he not suffered an ill-timed puncture on stage two.Porte also crashed on the chaotic Mt Ventoux stage.You want to put a medal around his neck and unfortunately its eventuated the way it is, McGee said of Porte.While unwilling to predict how Porte might have done, McGee admitted the Australian teamwork had helped put him in an ideal scenario.Porte had to stop twice earlier in the race to fix his chain, but otherwise was riding well.He was definitely right where we wanted him, McGee said.The boys, limited as we were in firepower, they did exactly what was needed.He was there, ready to shine, so where would he have ended up? We dont know.Its definitely disappointing, but were not broken ... hell be back.McGee added Dennis was showing strong form ahead of the time trial, his main objective for Rio.We know Rohan off the bike, hes a bit of a scallywag at times, McGee said.But on the bike, in the job, hes just on fire.He was definitely in the zone today and we look forward to that on Wednesday.Dennis and mountain biker Scott Bowden pulled out of the race early, as planned, to save themselves for their main Olympic events.
