Tumbleweed Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Spoke to Desere this morning. She said they are up (their time) and awaiting an update from the team this morning (European time). Among other things, she said this: We are grateful for all the message of support and need all the prayers and positivity we can get for our boy. He's a fighter He has to win the biggest challenge of his life now

Ispeed_V Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Read on the team site that he is still critical and not yet stable. He lost a lot of blood Prayers go out to him and his family.
BDF Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Terrible news. I am trusting that he pulls through this. Thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.
Super J Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Grasshopper...... you keep fighting.....!! Des, Wayne and Dylan, my prayers go out to you.
Warren_G Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 That accident sounds truly horrible! Strength to Keegan and the family.
TheJ Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Some websites jumping the gun a bit... http://www.thebikecomesfirst.com/south-african-rider-keagan-girdlestone-passes-away-after-crash-in-italian-race/ If you open the link though, the page is 404. So they must have removed it. A bit upsetting though that something like that can just be posted without proper confirmation.
Gen Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 That accident sounds truly horrible! Strength to Keegan and the family.Terrible.. Thought go out to his family.. come on Kido Keep on fighting.
Super J Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Right Guys, Ive just spoken to Wayne, he is flying out from NZ to Italy ASAP,I also spoke to a very reliable source with in the team, Keagan is in a bad way, lost a lot of blood but he is in good hands in hospital, and he has made it through the first critical hours..... Please keep Wayne , Des, Dylan and especially Keags in your prayers, and the team, they are a bunch of young guys and something like this can be very traumatic and damage them for life..... Keep fighting Grasshopper.....
