2012-11-08 - Rider Down (Shane Sutton), A6 (Manchester)

BBC is reporting that Shane Sutton, the head coach for GB cycling has been involved in an accident in Manchester and has "bleeding on the brain".

No other details that I can find at the moment.

Here's hoping it isn't as serious as it sounds and he can make a full and speedy recovery.

Here's wishing for a full and swift recovery.

Crazy days. Get well soon.

Terrible. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Bizarre turn of events. Best wishes to him.

This sounds much worse than Bradley's bash. Wishing Shane gets through it ok and heals up quick.

TS took the words out of my mouth, what a bizzare turn of events.

Lets hope Shane gets through this and has a speedy recovery.

Wishing Shane a full and speedy recovery.

Very strange series of events all this.

GWS Shane!

All best wishes to Mr Sutton!

I cannot believe this!

Get well soon Mr Sutton! Unreal.

Gotta say, I used to train with Shane, and he is the hardest bastard that ever lived. As well as an incredibly classy bike rider. Awesome talent and hard as nails. I don't doubt he'll be back to his scary best ! Get well soon Shane !

Hoping for full recovery for both Shane and Bradley. Get well soon guys.

Wiggo and Sutton are both part Aussie. They'll heal up quick and continue kicking arse.

Heal up coach.
Hope this gives you all in the B.C camp plenty more ammunition to direct at the m.p.s.

I ride that stretch Shane Sutton got knocked off on my commute, the London equivalent of that stretch would be green lanes maybe, it's a stinker, full of pot holes and angry people who think cyclists are just people who can't afford cars
