Bend, Ore. - Ben Brooks was conscious and breathing on his own Friday night, a marked improvement for the Team Type 1 rider who was critically hurt in a crash on Wednesday's opening stage of the Bend Memorial Clinic Cascade Cycling Classic. "Ben still has a long ways to go, but he is making great progress," Team Type 1 Sport Director Ed Beamon said.
Brooks was traveling at more than 30 miles an hour when his front wheel got caught in a cattle guard that crossed the race course. The 29-year-old was thrown from his bike and knocked unconscious for several minutes.
Beamon said the outpouring of support Brooks and his wife, Rachael, have received from the cycling community, people with diabetes around the world and Team Type 1 sponsor representatives has been incredible.
