Cerberus Attacks Again!

Didi's beloved Cerberus had a nice run at le Tour this year, but it seems his blood lust has yet to be sated. Global warming must be luring Hades' creatures to the surface or something.

from the Paceline:

"Tuesday in Valencia, DC mainstay Matt White sustained a double skull fracture after being thrown from his bike--but is doing fine, confirms Johan Bruyneel.
Matt White sustained a pair of skull fractures in a training crash Tuesday. He's resting and OK.

Out for a routine training ride with Julian Dean, "Whitey," 32, fell hard after a dog ran out in the road. Matt's bike made contact with the animal (who walked away) but he was thrown straight over the handlebars and hit headfirst. It appears that the double skull fracture is his only major injury.

Matt will remain in the hospital for at least 4-5 days. Although he is quite "banged up and tired" according to wife Jane, but is otherwise OK. Send "Get well!" wishes to Whitey at dearwhitey@thepaceline.com."

I hate to speculate but
no helmet? I hope nothing but a fast recovery for him, but if it turns out he wasn't wearing a helmet I hope he does from now on. Even a training ride can go bad in a hurry.

I can honestly say if I hadn't been wearing one last year when I got clipped by a car, I wouldn't be typing this. If you ride, put one on.
