Don't know how many of you guys follow road racing.
Saul Raisin, a pretty promising and young American road racer (won Langkawi earlier this year) crashed at Curcuit de la Sarthe riding for Credit Agricole a few days ago. He had some broken ribs, broken collarbone and pretty serious cuts to his face in addition to smashing his helmet in a bunch of pieces. Nobody seems to know why he crashed 2km from the finish.
He is in an induced coma at the moment and I've read interviews with the doctors who are positive he'd be dead if he didn't have a helmet on. Nobody knows how he'll turn out, but it's lmost certainly better than dead.
Just more proof that the rules put in effect after Andrei Kivilev's death were a step in the right direction.
