Rough weekend for the Hutchinson United Ride in Val D'Isère for
the 6th round of World Cup, Tracey crashed and she crashed hard…
Everything started well with Wednesday track walk and after Thursday practice, Guillaume, Tracey and Mick felt confident for the race on Sunday. That's on Friday that things went wrong. Tracey crashed during a practice run and broke her femur and collarbone. She's been airlifted to the hospital and get a leg surgery. She's now doing pretty good and she gets better everyday.
The race was not over! Mick had a big crash during qualify but
he is a protected ride so he will race on Sunday anyway. After a huge
storm it was Guillaume turn to go but the track was just to slippery,
none of the 30 guys after him qualified, he crashed and made a hole in
his leg.

So finally on Sunday weather was just perfect, Mick had 5 practice runs cause he didn't ride on Saturday to stay with Tracey in the hospital, and it was already time for the finals. He had an amazing run and after an exciting race he ended up at the 6th position! Pretty good considering what happened!
Now everyone is going to rest during this month off before worlds. Fabien's arm surgery went pretty well too and his ankle is almost good now. Good recovery to Tracey, she's really happy with all the support she gets, keep it coming!
Check back for more news about Tracey's recovery.
Bye!
