Default Racing cyclist with previous, mowed down and killed another racer

A CYCLIST and former world championship contender suffered fatal head
injuries when she came off her bike after a collision with a fellow rider in
a timed trial road race, an inquest heard yesterday.

"I have a slight recollection of being aware of something to my left," he
said. "I don't recall any part of me or my cycle coming into contact with
the other rider. The next thing I knew I was on the ground"

Mr Russell, a member of the Fat Birds cycle club, had been disciplined in
the past for riding "head down" in a road race, a practice banned by the
sport's governing body

I have no doubt that Phil Lee will be campaigning for a murder charge
against this rider.
