FORT WILLIAM, Scotland (transcendmagazine.com) -- It's a given that the course here can take it's toll on equipment, but it's now becoming clear that it is also taking a tolld on riders.
Cedric Gracia of France went down hard in 4x last night and slammed into the face of a jump. His wrist and hand are broken and he is extremely dissapointed, as he was feeling great on the Dh course (as well as looking fantastic on the 4x course). American Chris Van Dine has a badly beaten wrist after crashing in practice yesterday. English rider Dan Stanbridge is nursing torn ligaments in his ankle and many other riders are wandering around the pits with ice on various body parts.
In Fort Willian, you earn your rainbow stripes.
