Thoughts are with the family.
Absolute tragedy

This is pretty sickening. Got my fingers crossed for Simon - looks like he is now in a stable condition. The guy is made of strong stuff and will I am sure get back on the bike in time. We're all rooting for you and your family!

Hit and run. The very worst of the cowardly worst! Heal up very soon Simon. You sound, by all accounts like an absolute hard nut. Recovery a cert. Our thoughts with you and yours.

Heal up fast. I hope they throw the book at the hit and run driver.

"critical but stable"... wwwwhat?

Anyway, heal up soon big-man.

"critical but stable"... wwwwhat?

i.e not dead.

Hope he pulls through.

Hope the driver gets bummed in prison.

amazing he is doing well with those injuries, truly heroic, polar fucking opposite to the van driver

bridge end is a total shit hole BTW.

just thought i'd add that fact

Worst thing about this is that he was only a Paralympian because of injuries he sustained when he was knocked off his bike before. Heal up matey...

Terrible ! If anyone can recover, Simon can. So strong, and he's going to need all that strength now. So unfair !
