ThePubSA Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Cedric Gracia - Injury Updateby Scott Secco Jun 1, 2012 Add to my Favorites Cedric Gracia, has broken his hip during training for the Val di Sole World Cup race this weekend. Gracia, 34, crashed hard in practice and has been taken to the hospital in Trento for surgery. We wish him a speedy recovery - heal up quick Cedric! According to his Facebook page: ''Cedric a été victime d'une chute ce matin à Val Di Sole, il a été transféré à l'hospital de Trento et il vient de sortir du bloc opératoire. Le bassin cassé mais il reste à faire des examens. On vous informera dès que nous avons d'autres nouvelles.'' This roughly translates as: Cedric was the victim of a fall this morning in Val Di Sole, he was transferred to the hospital of Trento and he just left the operating room. His pelvis is broken but he needs further examination. You will be notified as soon as we have more news. http://ap1.pinkbike.org/p4pb7853386/p4pb7853386.jpg http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Cedric-Gracia-Injury-Update-2012.htmlFraser Britton Val di Sole Day 2 - UCI World Cup 2012Jun 1, 2012 Add to my Favorites http://ap1.pinkbike.org/p5pb8203659/p5pb8203659.jpg http://lp3.pinkbike.org/p1pb6168857/p1pb6168857.jpg This one goes out to CG. The old man had a massive crash today at the bottom of the highest speed section of the track and got thrown. He has a suspected broken hip AND femur. Here's hoping the wildman pulls through and we see him again soon.

Not quite sure how this guy got into this position, I was running while laying into the shutter button. http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Val-di-Sole-Day-2-UCI-World-Cup-2012.html Unlucky Hope CG heals up soon

It's going to be checkers or wreckers for a lot of guys come qualifying tomorrow. http://ap1.pinkbike.org/p5pb8203647/p5pb8203647.jpg http://lp3.pinkbike.org/p1pb6168857/p1pb6168857.jpg What more can you say? Brendoggy loves to get wild for no real reason. You just have to love watching him ride a bike.

Tumbleweed Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Update from Cedric's facebook page: It's been three days that Cedric is hospitalized in Trento, for now the news aren’t good because he is losing blood in the fractures, so he isn’t in condition to be transferred somewhere. Cedric is very touched by your post whether sponsors or fans, without forget his family and friends.
Tumbleweed Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Has anyone seen some pics of the XRays of Cedric? Nope, link?
Tumbleweed Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 He's going under the knife today. Here's sending CG some healing vibes.
