Asian Games road race champions crowned

Hong Kong's Wong Kam Po and Japanese rider Mayuko Hagiwara have taken out the men's and women's road race titles at the 2006 Asian Games.

The men's race on Sunday was scheduled to run for 200 kilometres, but due to strong wind gusts up to 65 km/h, the event was cut short to 156 kilometres to protect the safety of the riders. In the final three-man bunch sprint, Mehdi Sohrabi from Iran and Korea's Sung Baek Park finished second and third respectively.
