    Very sad news....



    FWD: "EVERYONE...One of SoCal's top MTB racers YOSHIO GARCIA age 22, was struck by a vehicle early yesterday morning while commuting to work on his bike. He is in critical condition and in a coma. Please pray that he pulls through."


    He took 3rd place in his first Pro race at Southridge just this last weekend

    The Sho-Air note says it happened yesterday, but I'm not seeing it on the OC Register or LA Times sites. Anybody know where it happened or how?

    Healing vibes and best wishes to Yoshio.

    There is a story at the Daily Bulletin.

    UPDATE: Bike rider seriously injured in Ontario traffic collision

    A friend just visited Yoshio at the hospital. Broken pelvis, possible ruptured stomach, still in a coma. Waiting to find out extent of brain injuries. MRI was this morning.

    Yoshio's one of the nicest guys around, and a fantastic bike rider. He took 3rd this past weekend at Fontana in his first pro race. He's been known to remove the granny ring on his bike because it slows him down.

    I raced with Yoshio in the CAT 1 19-24 and I wish him a speedy recovery. Through racing, I have gotten to know Yoshio as a competitor and as a person. Hang in there man.

    Sorry to see that it was the cyclist's fault this time. Best wishes also to the driver - that has got to be some emotional trauma to deal with.

    I've only spoken to him once or twice at races. He is a genuinely nice guy.

    Best wishes.
