Raisin In Coma After Crash
Quote | Reply
PARIS (AP) -- American cyclist Saul Raisin was in a coma today

after a fall at the Circuit de la Sarthe race.

Raisin crashed Tuesday about one and a quarter miles from the

end of the race's first stage. He had facial injuries and a

fractured hip and collarbone.

Roger Legeay, sporting director for Raisin's Credit Agricole

team, said the rider's condition at first was not thought to be

serious, but worsened this morning.

The 23-year-old native of Dalton, Georgia, turned pro in 2003

and finished ninth overall at the Tour of Germany in August



Hope he's going to be all right. He had a lot of fans at last year's tour de Georgia. And I think I remember Herbert writing about him in a couple of posts.
