Greg wrote on social media, “When you are a parent of a cyclist, it is the worst phone call, when you hear that your son has had a bad crash. That’s what spoiled our Sunday morning today. Racing the French Cup, a massive crash at the front of the peloton in rainy, cold weather, and Kaden trying to avoid the crash at 65kph, hit a tree head on. The race was stopped for 35 minutes to help the riders, and Kaden was taken to the finish to see a doctor. Battered and bruised but not deterred. It will be a while before we know the full extent of his injuries but is in good spirits.”
