Hectic! :eek: Heal up soon John :thumbup:

 

Slightly off topic: did they at least get the taxi drivers details? (for possible criminal case). Just hope that the person didn't just drive off and leave him there!

We went past a bit later (think it was the same incident) and the taxi was still there with cops etc.

Latest is compressed vertebrae with fluid on the lungs being drained. And some really nasty road rash. All the best, John!

Anybody know if the Cyclelab rider from BL is OK. He went down very hard on the sweeping downhill past Carnivores restaurant. This was about the 98km.
