i found out while at work, i know Michael through being in the trade as a dealer, really top guy, having looked at his facebook there was a picture of him enjoying a 60mile sportive ride on his brand new Orange Carbo on it's first ride, he'd finished building it a few days before, as i understand it he crashed about 15 miles from the end of the ride, no one else involved.
he was airlifted from the scene, is currently in a specific head trauma ward,
i really hope he gets better, it would be a great loss the bike world, not to mention his family and friends.
