GeneralMIRACULOUS ESCAPE
In January 2013 he was involved in what initially appeared to be a horrific crash while racing at Kitzbuhel, Austria. He lost control as he went around a corner and somersaulted backwards into the air before crashing back to earth, but remarkably escaped without serious injury. "I have some pain in both my wrists, especially the left, but the X-rays have ruled out any complications." (fantaski.it, 26 Jan 2013)
BONE MARROW SPONSOR
