Carrick-on-Suir's Sam Bennett won't represent Ireland at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

The Green Jersey winner on last year's Tour de France has a knee injury that prevented him from racing in this year's Tour.

However - the Parcours for this Olympic Road Race were too hilly for Ireland's sprint specialist.
