Hoy is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.

Sir Chris Hoy has revealed he suffered a broken leg in a mountain bike accident he described as the “worst crash I’ve ever had”.

The six-time Olympic champion has continued to ride his bike while undergoing treatment for prostate cancer that he said last year was terminal.

In an interview with Sky Sports, the 49-year-old said: “I’ve smashed my leg up on the mountain bike, that’s the worst thing that’s happened recently. You just don’t bounce like you do when you’re younger. It was a big one, but I’m better now. I’m still on crutches, hobbling about.

“Worse things happen. I’ve been riding bikes for 43 years and it’s the worst crash I’ve ever hard. I’m pretty lucky that’s the worst one I’ve had in all those years of riding.”
