SA mountain biker on road to recovery after horror crash

Cape Town - South African mountain biker Stefan Garlicki is on the long road to recovery after a horror crash saw him hospitalised in Germany.

Garlicki, 27, went down heavily during his seeding run at the iXS Downhill Cup in Ilmenau late last month and broke his femur/hip and suffered a bruised lung.

On Tuesday, his 10th day in hospital, Garlicki tweeted that he was "mobile and can use crutches to get around" and thanks everyone for their "messages and support".
