“One rider, a foreign participant whose team was leading the race, is currently unaccounted for. Search and rescue teams aided by the Sri Lankan Police are working round the clock to locate the missing rider,” SriLankan Airlines, one of the organisers of the event, said. No other details were given in the crisis in the evening's announcement. - ENDS -
