<text>  An Australian cyclist has taken a tumble just before the finish line during the European womens cycling tour, after a spectators hand reached out and hit her handlebars. Loren Rowney was just metres away from finishing the Molecaten Drentse 8 in The Netherlands, when a hand emerged from the side barrier crowded by spectators. It appears to have grabbed onto Rowneys handles, which sent her flying over her bike. The 26-year-old managed to crawl over to the finish line but is believed to have suffered a broken collarbone, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.
