Squier Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Well, guess I'll skip breakfast today... Glad he is ok!
andydude Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Tarmac, Spaceboy, me and a couple other riders just crashed at Killarney. We made some skin donations, Tarmac was probably the most generous out of all of us, but nothing as grizzly as that. Hey Luke I also donated some skin to the track (after about 30 minutes) on the back straight with the trees. Got switched. Worst is that my new carbon baby's tob-tube cracked/splintered Earthly possessions I guess and nothing compared to a loss of a life. Condolences to Carla's family and friends. And all the best for Albertus' recovery! Great time to read cycling books.
Tankman Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 All the best of recovery Albertus! @andydude hope your baby was insured, they should be able to replace that (after only what 3 rides on it? )
Chris Willemse Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Nee man Albertus. Hoe lank gaan dit vat om regtekom? Ek kan nie n ander werker op die kreef boot vat nie. Sterkte
splat Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Oooh. That's gonna leave a mark...Hope it heals up OK and he is back on a (NEW) bike soon. After all the news yesterday, I was feeling pretty nervous on my bike this morning. Especially in today's honking South Easter.
DRIVETRAIN Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I'm a bit behind - I heard on the news that a top cyclist was killed yesterday - who was the guy ? and does this accident have anything to do with it ??
Wannabe Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I'm a bit behind - I heard on the news that a top cyclist was killed yesterday - who was the guy ? and does this accident have anything to do with it ??Not a guy, but 23 year old Carla Swart, one of our top female cyclist was killed yesterday when she apparantly lost her cycling computer in some or other way, and got hit by a truck when she turned infront of the truck to retrieve her computer. No, this accident has nothing to do with it.

So is there much muscle or tendon damage? Trusting his collarbone is ok?
BMCfan Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 No bloody way. Whats going on!! Hope Albertus recover quickly. Andydude also going down? Hell bells.Seems like the new Giants (andy & luke) took a beating yesterday

Hell bells.Seems like the new Giants (andy & luke) took a beating yesterday Yep, my new frame is tickets. Going to have to claim for it and a few other items as well.
Fat26 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Albertus, I wish you a speedy recovery. This year started off all wrong with lots of riders involved in accidents. I still have 50 days to go before I'm allowed back on my bike, with a friend still in hospital with a broken pelvis after an encounter with a dog. I hope and pray that it will get better from now on!
Tiny K Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 OMF! I only put two and two together now..... Albertus the dental technician. Flip it. We had chatted Tuesday afternoon when I popped in to get my 32Gi. Was gonna be his first day! Friggin hell! Hope he gets better soon!!
