Stumbled across this video. Never heard of the sport previously but found this a great watch.

"There's one lap of racing to go and he thinks he's won the world title! I can't believe this."
Exhilerating sporting blunder
It's happened in the Kellogg's tour of Britain in the 1980's, London, but it wasn't the rider's fault ‒ some official rang the bell a lap early!
But even worse, an 18-year-old rider rode out a finish in a one-and-a-half mile race at Wolverhampton without realising there was a circuit to go. The race was only 1.5 laps!!

People might also remember when £35k at 1.01 got turned over at for this blunder at Fakenham a few years ago.
The the eventual 2nd also got turned over for 1.01 that race. Crazy.
