Today I recieved a call from Race Elements informing me that one of the riders they work with has chrashed today. Rhys Willlemse was out for a DH ride when he chrashed with one of his riding mates. Rhys is currently in hospital with a broken femur. Luckily he crashed at the start of the off season so he will be racing next year, no word on who he was riding with but I expect it to be either Tamryn or Darcy Murell. You can follow Rhys's blog by visiting the Rhys Willemse link on the side, aswell as the Race Elements website. Rhys is an amazing rider who is the Junior national DH champion for 2009. this just goes to show that anyone can crash.We wish you best recovery Rhys.
where'd you get that scoop Peet? I haven't seen it anywhere in the press.

ReplyDeleteHi Mate,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support for Rhys... He really appreicates it. Rhys is out of hospital in record breaking time and recovering really well.. He should be back at race elements in a month working in the pool and taking it easy for the next 3 months... He is a quick healer and will be back on the bike before you know it... Thanks again for your support...
Cheers
Jo (rhys' Mum)
Thats great to here. Wish him even swifter recovery.
