Chad Young

[smutchin]

Just read a piece online that says Chad Young is "not expected to recover" from his crash on the Tour of the Gila on Monday. He came down on a descent along with a few other riders while part of a breakaway group and sustained a severe head injury.

I don't know much about him but this is none the less very sad news. He's only 21.

No, it looks grim. http://www.velonews.com/2017/04/news/chad-young-not-expected-to-recover-from-gila-crash_436685

Let's hope for the best.

One of my nephew's Australian team was involved in the crash and ended up in hospital but has since been released.
Very sad.
