Must have been horrible road rash:

Mr Richardson desperately clung onto his £10,000 bike and was dragged up to 100 metres by one of the motorcycles. One of the robbers then threatened him with a 15 inch machete at which point he handed over his cycle.

“Luckily I’m used to physical injury, you just get up and get on with it. But I warn others it be very careful. My bike is by Specialized and is very distinctive. I’m hoping I can get it back.”

Such a shit thing to happen. Hope he recovers soon, both mentally and physically.

Slightly irrelevant here but interesting that he was on a Specialized when his team is sponsored by Canyon. No wonder wasn't so quick to let go of it if it was his own rather than a team bike.
