BBC criticised for losing pictures of climax of RideLondon cycle race

Technical problems meant crowd shots were broadcast instead of cyclists approaching RideLondon finish line

The BBC has been criticised for its coverage of the 100-mile RideLondon cycle race after losing pictures of the lead riders as they completed the final minutes of the course.

Screens went blank as the cyclists pedalled along the last few miles through the capital, prompting producers to switch to a shot of crowds waiting on Whitehall.
