Epic lead motorbiker shot

[Tumbleweed]

Just read pre-published a story in the Argus that Brian Pickering, who's one of three lead motorbike riders for the Cape Epic was shot in the neck at his home on Sunday.

 

"Last night he was undergoing an angiogram to ascertain whether any blood vessels in his neck had been damaged, but it appeared the bullet had missed his spinal column and his trachea."
