Rachael Atherton Air Lifted From National Champs
« on: July 20, 2008, 15:09:03 PM »
Just got back from bala, so thought i would inform you all......
I wasnt there when she crashed, but apparantly she took a very fast berm wrong, just as you come into the wooded section, and hit a tree with her thigh. She was brought down off the track by extreme medics, who then call for the ambulance, who in turn called for air ambulance. Im sure its just a precaution, and as bala is in the middle of no where, would have been quicker than going by road.

Wish her all the best and a speedy recovery.

I'm sure he was only 2 seconds up.

It's an awesome venue though. I'm hoping thanks to the nationals being here, that more races will be avaliable and perhaps an uplift at some point.

maller took youth, not gannicott.

spoke to rachels dad and they are hoping that her femur bone is only cracked, not completey broken. If its only cracked it will be a much quicker recovery!

I for one was very glad to hear Paton back on the mic, he's sorely missed when he opts out!
