The incident happened around halfway through the 280km race of attrition.

Politt was seen coming out of the pub Cafe des 2 Moulin, which featured in the 2001 film Amelie, having parked up his bike on the course.

Thousands of fans roared on with delight at the amusing scene, with many filming Politt getting back into the race.

The 30-year-old had been part of the lead group during the early stages of the race before falling away.

Politt, who won a stage in the Tour de France in 2021, finished 70th – almost 20 minutes behind winner Remco Evenepoel.

The Belgian made a devastating attack with around 40km and crossed the line solo to pick up his second gold in the space of a week.

Evenepoel also came out on top in the men’s time trial, just days after finishing third in the Tour de France.

He even suffered a puncture in the final four kilometres but maintained his composure and held on for a famous win.

The 25-year-old became the first man in history to win road race and time trial gold at the same Olympics.

French riders completed the podium as Valentin Madouas won silver before team-mate Christophe Laporte claimed bronze.
