Hey Guys,

I was in Europe last week, and this was on the BBC and Sky News. Just wondering if any F-1 or Red Bull Racing fans in the US missed it. It was described as a head-on collision with a 4X4 that resulted in a double compound leg fracture and other less serious injuries. Sheesh!

I read about this on Sunday, it was on a bicycling website. I wonder if he had anything in his contract about bicycling. Luckily it happened during the off season. It sounds like he will recover in time for the 2009 season.
