Assen victor and championship leader escapes serious injury after close shave while cycling
HE MAY have done the double at Assen this weekend but Troy Bayliss narrowly escaped a fatal accident after being thrown from his
cycle and into the path of traffic on Tuesday.
The Aussie, currently enjoying a massive 70 point lead in the series, crashed on his
bicycle while training in Monte Carlo, and came away with cuts and grazes
and a sore back in the process.
The Australian was out doing his regular cycling session with his personal
trainer when he hit a manhole on a downhill stretch and was thrown off the
bike, sliding down the road and narrowly being missed by following cars.
