virgo Posted February 5, 2010 Share Don't even know this guy, but feel like crying. Sad news indeed. The fact that he's strong is probably what's keeping him going. May that continue to get him through this. Prayers for him ,his family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadster258 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Most of the speculation about Brad's condition has been untrue. Here is the official statement from MTN Cycling: 05 February 2010 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MTN Energade cyclist recovering in hospital MTN Energade Cycling team rider, Bradley Potgieter, was involved in an accident this morning. Potgieter has been admitted to a private clinic in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg. He has been sedated and is recovering in ICU having been diagnosed with nothing more serious than two minor bone fractures and some bruising to his head as a result of the impact. ?Bradley is currently in a stable condition at the ICU. He has sustained uncomplicated ?crack? fractures to his right distal radius (forearm) and left medial maleolus (ankle). He has minor facial lacerations and areas of diffuse minor intra-axial (brain) bleeding, which do not require neurosurgical intervention. He is conscious, communicating and his doctors are satisfied with his current condition,? says Dr Carol Austin, trainer of the MTN Energade cycling team. Neurosurgeons at the private clinic are not concerned about Potgieter?s condition and are confident that he is in no danger from his injuries. They will, however, continue to monitor his progress. ?Bradley simply needs some time to recover from this early morning scare and will be back to full fitness in the not too distant future,? says Ian Wilson, MTN Energade Cycling road team manager.
