Rohan Dennis withdraws from Commonwealth Games road race

Rohan Dennis will take no further part in the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games following medical advice.

Dennis, who took gold in the Men’s Individual Time Trial on Thursday, woke up on Saturday morning in discomfort and was taken to a local hospital to undergo tests and observations.

As a precaution, Dennis was advised to withdraw from today’s road race, but remains comfortable and under observation.

The team at Commonwealth Games Australia alongside AusCycling wish him a quick recovery.

Australia will contest the men’s road race with four riders: Luke Durbridge, Luke Plapp, Miles Scotson and Sam Fox.
