Police have spoken to a 34-year-old western Sydney man over a road rage incident involving a group of 50 elite cyclists, including Kate Nichols and Olympic hopeful Ben Kersten.

The pack of 50 cyclists was involved in the hit and run incident in Mascot just before seven o'clock (AEST) yesterday morning, with more than 20 injured.

The accident was caused after the driver of the grey Ford Falcon swerved towards the riding pack then slammed on his brakes, apparently deliberately bringing them down before driving away.

Last night police interviewed the man at a house in Claymore.

They say a grey Ford Falcon found at the home has also been examined.

Police say no charges have been laid, and investigations into the crash are ongoing.

The riders are adamant the driver acted deliberately.

The government is at fault, because this isn't a road rage issue or nuisance road use issue for bikers. The government does not have infrastructure for bikes. But we have had record windfalls. Why no infrastructure? Because the government has blown the cash on their mates, not on worthwhile projects.
