If you have ever wondered what happens when a peloton of fast racing bicycles gets untidy you can now ask our Presidente Wadi Nadzri who fractured his collar bone and shoulder blade four weeks ago in such circumstances.

We wish Wadi the best for his quick recovery. Let this be a warning as to the dangers of fitness and exercise. Fear not however, the schedule of great events for the second half of 2010 remains on track.
