It has been a dramatic and stressful week for Anna van der Breggen, who lost her Olympic road race title - and now in preparation for the time-trial event she has been hauled off her bike by an official who failed to recognise the Netherlands star. Fortunately reports suggest she is unharmed
Anna van der Breggen was pulled off her bike by an Olympic official during her final preparations for the time-trial event.
She and compatriot Annemiek van Vleuten were checking out the Fuji International Speedway course - but the Games officials apparently did not recognise the two stars.
Van der Breggen was unscathed despite the incident.
It has not been the best week for her, coming after a defeat in the road race and the loss of her Olympic title.
She will be hoping to add Olympic gold to her world title in the time-trial discipline.
