Chad Young dies in hospital five days after horror crash
The promising young American pro cyclist Chad Young has died in hospital, five days after sustaining horrific head and facial injuries in a crash while racing.
The 21 year old was riding in the Tour of the Gila, when he was involved in a multi rider crash during a mountain descent in New Mexico.
He was airlifted to hospital in Tucson, Arizona, but his injuries were not survivable.
“We lost a friend, a team mate and a family member. I have no words that can express my pain over this loss,” said Axeon Hagens Berman Cycling Team manager Axel Merckx, general manager.
“I can only say that I am very thankful to have known him and that I feel privileged to have been able to share in his passion for cycling.
“Thank you for the outpouring of love and support over the past few days. We ask that you keep his family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
“May he rest in peace.”
After an unpromising start, having to be bribed by her parents to learn to ride without stabilisers, Sarah became rather keener on cycling in her university years, and was eventually persuaded to upgrade to proper road cycling by the prospect of a shiny red Italian bike, which she promptly destroyed by trapping a pair of knickers in the rear derailleur. Sarah writes about about cycling every weekend on road.cc.

That is clearly a paraplegic Wookiee with its support human, I applaude its passion to stay active.
Ok, please explain further. Not trying to antagonise but I genuinely want to know when this has happened to you in this country?

Exactly. If you believe he hadn't deliberately let the dog off the lead based on mealy-mouthed wording, I have a bridge to sell you. If the lead...

I think it might be 11th now, the last actual raise was announced in the March 2010 budget
I'm sorry but more than half of these aren't close passes. Ride in the middle of the road. Problem solved.
