Katie-George Dunlevy’s bid to successfully defend her Paralympic road race crown was dashed in the sprint to the line by Britain’s Sophie Unwin and Jenny Holl.

Dunlevy and pilot Linda Kelly led Friday’s road race for pretty much all bar the last 200 metres of the 99.4km course. They could not at any point, however, shake the British bike.
