Anyone know what happened to O'Grady, and how badly he's hurt? Broken ribs for O'Grady and a dislocated shoulder for Rogers according to Jeffs new site (bikeradar.com). no wonder he was suffering! I felt so bad for him...and the other guy who crashed and went over the rail gets back on his bike and finishes...go figure! |

Apparently he went into the rail while Arroyo went over and got lucky on his landing site (if it had been Charly Gaul he would probably have done a barrel roll and a loop and landed back on his bike ready to continue). |

In the video it looked to me like Rogers just crashed a normal wipe- out without hitting anything and Arroyo t-boned the gaurd-rail avoiding him. Joseph |

Not a good day for the antipodeans. Anyone know what happened to O'Grady, and how badly he's hurt? According to a a Danish CSC press release, O'Grady has a punctured lung, a broken collar bone, a broken shoulderblade, 5 broken ribs and 3 "tapper" in his back. It says it is important to emphasize that his back itself is not broken. I don't know what "tapper" are. Sounds pretty bad, but I suppose it could be worse. He's a tough guy, I hope it doesn't stop him for good.
