    this report speculates that it is fairly serious...fingers crossed for Ogrady.

    Didn't he have problems with seizures after being mugged in Biarritz with David Millar a few years ago?

    That sounds very nasty. Let's hope he has a speedy and full recovery.

    Yea I'm not a CSC/Saxo fan but he's a good bloke/rider.

    Speedy recovery and hope it's not serious.

    So David Millar with O'Grady in 1999 - O'Grady gets mugged

    Millar with O'Grady in 2009 - O'Grady has brain seizure.

    Stuey - get well soon and FFS, keep away from Millar in 2019.

    Nice piece with Millar describing what happened on CN, including the following gem:
    “We have christened him One Lap Wonder.”

    Sounds like he woke up on Monday morning feeling completely fine, which is hopefully a good sign.

    With Bellis, two Saxo riders have had motorbike accidents leading to possible brain problems in the space of a few weeks. Someone call Mulder. Yip hope he gets sorted asap, he's an inspirational rider.

    Bellis's accident was about 3-4 months ago... he's back in the press recently because he has been brought out of the medically induced coma and is now back in the UK...
    Already signed up for the following 2010 rides:

    Etape Caledonia (May 16th)
    AMR's Trossachs Ton (June 20th)
    AMR's Cross-Border Sportive (Sept 19th)
