Two Olympic gold medalists downed by cars, sad but the publicity might just get the message across to car drivers, I hope.
It should be driver not car...
This. Lets us at least get the identification of the facts right. Cars don't run people over without drivers being responsible for it.
Get well soon Jo.
Think she probably trains on the road though
I suppose it is quite hard to be knocked over by a car in a velodrome.
I was riding with Jo on the velodrome a few years ago when she came off and broke her elbow!
Different degrees of danger...
Poor girl, hope she's fully recovered soon.
