Hi

Sorry for not posting for a while everyone

Im getting conflicting reports - http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,26329730-23218,00.html had him collapsing and 10 news here in Adelaide said it was a seizure - hes still in hospital at the moment I believe

yours is the 3rd theory ive heard so to cut a long story short I have no idea

 

[Nick777]

If I am not mistaken, this isn't the first time something like this has happened. I recall a similar incident back in the late 90's (in Noosa..??) - perhaps linked to when he & Henk Vogels were bashed in France.

 

[sportzchick]

twice i think

they still dont know yet and the tests will take a couple of days from what Cycling SA's manager is saying

the majority here are closer to Spain that what us Aussie's are - someone shound know somthing

 

[LukeSchmid]

Some more info and it looks like things are not too bad.

Thanks

Nice work

 

[Four Winds]

Sounds like an epileptic seizure, particularly if this is the second time it has happened. I would presume he'll be having brain scans and other tests to make sure there is nothing underlying it.

Could be serious enough. Certainly wouldn't be allowed to drive after something like this so could have potential implications for a cyclist?

John Trevorrow has received a text from Stuart...

Me thinks he should stay off the motos and just concentrate on the peddlies

Glad he's doing okay. And even after riding shotgun in my instructor's race car I was woozy and a bit nauseated by the g-forces. But it still makes you nervous hearing these things.

Hope Stuey recovers soon, Saxo Bank are having a rough time of it with first Bellis and now O'Grady having unfortunate episodes. Hopefully, we will see both in 2010 at some stage.

get well stuey all of Australia is behind you......................

 

[lagartija]

really good to hear stue is well and coherent, i have always considered him to be a great pro and a class act all around..............

Hope he does well. As someone how has had a couple of grand maul seizures it is a scary thing waking up in a hospital with no clue how you got there. I hope that it does not affect his ability to keep his contact.

Second that. I've seen the worst end of the condition. Not fun.

 

[350Watts]

Wasn't he also diagnosed with super ventricular tachycardia about 10-15 years ago? He is one tough dude.

 

[usedtobefast]

certainly wish him well.

 

[Bikefan]

Great replys and info guys, thanks. And its good to see that he seems to have come away from a very scary event with his sense of humour intact. I'm not too sure that there is anyone out there who doesn't love Stuey and way he does things!

Good to hear things are not looking to bad, hope he has a quick and full recovery. Now off to get a VB, this vegemite pie is making me thirsty.
