Laura Kenny has called for bigger barriers to be fitted at velodromes after a horrific crash saw England’s Matt Walls catapulted over the railings and into the crowd on Sunday.
Paramedics erected screens to shield Walls, who won omnium gold and madison silver for Team GB at last summer’s Olympic Games, while he received treatment for 40 minutes at the Lee Valley VeloPark before being taken to hospital.
