Browne was in a close pack with his fellow riders when he suffered a very heavy high speed fall that brought the race to an immediate end.

The medical teams were immediately called to the 30-year-old's aid.

BBC Sport commentators reported there had been no movement at all from Browne as he slid down the ramp.

Browne was then lifted on to a stretcher and taken away for medical checks.

Concerned fans applauded him out of the arena following the crash.

Reports from the arena said that thankfully Browne had been seen moving.

He appeared to gesture a thumbs up towards the crowd as he left the arena for checks.
