ANGRY George Mills slammed officials for restarting his run when he fell, furious: It’s a joke.
Mills, the son of former England full-back Danny, took to the track after just 30 metres of the Emsley Carr Mile.
The 25-year-old Yorkshireman collided with Britain’s Neil Gourley, who had been knocked down by Dutchman Niels Laros, stumbling.
The two riders argued with track staff and said the festival was immediately stopped because of the episode.
His calls for a new race were ignored as Australian Oliver Hoare took victory in the 17-man festival in 3:49. 03.
Mills furious: “This is surely ridiculous. “
“It’s a scandal. We fell 30 meters. Neil and I.
“Just before we turned, there was a fall in front of us and we tripped.
“I’ve been through this before, but I don’t know how they haven’t rebooted it.
“I don’t know how they don’t call me back.

“Well, 3 other people go down less than 30 meters, what’s the point? It’s a joke. “
The controversy arose six days before the opening rite of the Olympic Games.
But the 29-year-old Scotsman Gourley was more philosophical about the situation, saying: “I wasn’t bothered by the weather or anything like that.
“I just wanted to come here and check out the racing aspect, but we crashed.
“It’s precisely what I needed. But I’ve benefited from the momentum of my other recent races. “
