Don't know how many of you have followed this story at all. I read cyclingnews.com a lot, so there's been periodic stories on there. A few months back, a group of women on the Australian road team were riding in Germany and were hit by a teenage driver. One rider was killed and all were seriously injured.

This is a video link (flash) and a set of interviews and some other things from an Australian TV program that did a story on it.

I assume you mean "le tour"? Think so...twas in July.

A quote from the report from one of the women. She was in a coma for several days and, I do not believe, was the most severely injured:
"I damaged the frontal lobe and had a brain clot," she said, "my lungs collapsed, I damaged some ribs. I landed on my front in some windscreen glass… and some carbon fiber shards and they cut my arms open. My right arm was basically torn off. It was attached by, I think, two muscles. The artery was compressed. As I was landing I was impaled on a stick through my stomach."
