Apparently Brad Wiggins in hospital? Hit by a car?

I'v seen nothing in the media myself, but it must have been on Sky news, as my housewife sister just messaged me about it?

You should read thehubsa more often

"It is believed that Wiggins suffered several broken ribs, as well as injuries to his hand and wrist, although Lancashire Police - who attended the incident - refused to give any further details."

Wonder if he had a light on the bike?

"He said he thought he had broken his ribs and while a lot of police cars arrived it was about 15 minutes before the ambulance got there by which time he was blue."

 

Pity.

In other news:

Belgian cyclo-cross racer Sven Vanthourenhout (Landbouwkrediet-KDL) will miss at least a weekend of racing after being injured in a collision with a group of dogs.

Vanthourenhout was training with his teammate Sven Nys in a forest near Lichtaart when he was suddenly confronted with an oncoming pack of dogs and could not stop in time.

"In that forest there is a 'cross course that cyclo-cross racers use. When I turned out of a lane there someone was coming with some huskies in the opposite direction. It happened so fast that I rode right into the dogs," he told Sporza. Following the accident he posted a photo of himself on Twitter showing he had broken the fork on his bike in half.
