"UK Amateur Dan Fleeman injured in training Dan Fleeman, a 20-year-old Elite rider and member of
Team Lichfield, was seriously injured by a motorist during a training ride last Wednesday. Dan was
returning home when a motorist pulled out on him in the village of Armitage, near Lichfield. Dan
suffered severe damage to both his legs and was rushed to hospital in Burton upon Trent, where
x-rays revealed that he had smashed both kneecaps. An operation on Friday wired up one kneecap,
while the other was completely removed.
Dan was riding with Team Lichfield after he spent last year riding full-time for the French UCD Nord
'87 Division III team. He had highlighted the British National U23 series and championship as his
main objectives for the year. Two years ago Dan rode for a Belgian team based in Ghent, but decided
that in 2003 he would ride in the UK as part of Team Lichfield.
Team Lichfield and Lichfield City CC wish Dan a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on the bike
as soon as possible. Dan has already made great progress since the accident and subsequent operation
and is very determined to fully recover as soon as he can. Cyclingnews also extends its best wishes
for a full recovery."
Let's hope he recovers completely and soon - and the driver gets charged.
