Wow, that's extremely shocking news.

Seems harsh, there are many who have underlying issues that are unknown until the attack. It happens at all levels of sport, you only really hear about the elite cases though.Dorset_Boy said:That's not good for anyone. Hopefully he recovers.
Maybe not appropriate here, just yet, but anytime a pro athlete has heart issues I tie that in with doping.1 -
Talk on X that its epilepsy related, not heart.
Either way, hope he pulls through and his family and others are ok2020/2021/2022 Metric Century Challenge Winner0 -

Jumbo DS has apparently said he is in a medically induced coma0

Shocking news - the fact the injuries to others are described as minor suggests his condition is probably due to whatever made him lose consciousness rather than injuries sustained in the crash. Hope for a full recovery.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

Hope he recovers quickly; fatherhood is pretty special, better than bike racing I'd say. Defintely something to prioritise from his point of view.2015 Canyon Nerve AL 6.0 (son #1's)

He's clearly very lucky to have got away relatively unscathed, but that's an awful lot to take in combined with becoming a father.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)
