A CYCLIST and former world championship contender suffered fatal head

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.

That inquest took place nearly 7 years ago. Gruesome cyclist related
stories a bit hard to come by again, are they?


So it was, odd, because when it appears as a google search result it says
may 18th 2013
