Bad luck continues for Aussies - O'Grady and McGee

[geoff m]

Both CSC riders and both back from serious injuries (McGee with knee and back problems which were finally diagnosed correctly after 2 years in the wilderness). Cycling News Reports in Giro Stage 3

At the start in Catania, there was concern about the stage's technical finish, but the worst wrecks occurred mid-stage. One massive pile-up took down riders such as stage two winner Riccardo Riccó (Saunier Duval – Scott) and David Millar (Slipstream Chipotle H30) while another put Bradley McGee (CSC) out of the race with a broken collarbone. McGee's team-mate Stuart O'Grady, who was doing his first Grand Tour since he was seriously injured in last year's Tour de France also crashed, and while he finished the stage it was later found that he also broke his collarbone

Saw short video clips of some earlier stages. It was amazing how they ride so fast in such large numbers on those super narrow old town roads, interspersed with traffic islands in the middle. Crazy!

Cadel Evans isn't racing the giro. Graeme Brown also crashed near the finish, but nothing serious.
