Broke his ankle during the Olympics. British Cycling publicly stated that it would be his last Olympics. I guess thats enough to discourage anyone from carrying on.
Roll on 2016 when we will hopefully see Grant Ferguson on the podium at Rio.
About 3 months (maybe less) after recovering from snapping his leg at the olympics, he got hit by a truck and broke his pelvis and maybe his femur too. He’s pretty much retired from competitive XCO now. He was a world class bike rider with some terrible misfortune.
I don’t think there’s any dislike? I can’t find any.
I’m interested in why darkcyan is suddenly so interested. If s/he’s always been this interested, why doesn’t s/he know already? S/he certainly seems more interested than anyone else on the thread, who must all have been a little bit interested in order to look in and post.
Killeen sustained an open fracture dislocation of his ankle at the London 2012 Olympic Games and made his unofficial competitive racing comeback last month at Mountain Mayhem 24 hour as part of a team.
However, Sherwood will be the first cross-country event the five-time British champion has taken part in for nearly two years.
