    Has anyone an update on the accident at the Roundwood GP? The bunch was maybe 1.5km from the finish. A grey van met us coming around a corner. As we passed I heard it skid and hit the hedge. Apparently it may have hit a rider. I wasn't parked in the GAA grounds so didn't hear anything afterwards. Hopefully nobody was hit.

    Just heard at the race today that the van came off worse than the rider! Everyone got up and pedalled to the finish.

    Sounded pretty bad from where I was but glad everyone is ok.

    Terry Ferris (Murphy & Gunn) came off the bike due to the van, but he's grand i'm told.

    that was my point beasty - love d cycling n all that goes with it - sorry if i came cross as provocative - was just playin devils advocate- nothing shud be said here that wud prejudice such a case - for all we know that driver did nothing wrong

    let's see - guy driving a van - ehhh maybe just maybe he is on the correct side of the road

    bunch of cyclists in a race (was it near the finish??) chances are .... just maybe - ah i wont say it .... may be too presumptious .... :)

    Jeez, theres always one, just wouldn't like to be him explaining to the insurance company, that's all,so you took me out of context. As I didn't witness the event, I can't speculate on who was at fault, or the circumstances.
