The Head Coach of British Cycling Shane Sutton was injured after being hit by a vehicle this morning.
Sutton was involved in an accident on the A6 near Levenshulme in Manchester.
He was taken to hospital and treated for bruising and bleeding on the brain. Sutton is to have more tests and is expected to stay in hospital for a few more days.
British Cycling issued the following statement following the second incident of a cyclist being hit in two days, following the accident involving Bradley Wiggins yesterday.
"It is extremely rare that our riders and coaches are hurt while out cycling on the road, even rarer that two incidents should occur in a short space of time, and we wish Shane and Bradley a speedy recovery.
"Cycling is not an intrinsically dangerous activity but there is much more to be done to improve conditions for cyclists on the roads. British Cycling is calling on the government to put cycling at the heart of transport policy to ensure that cycle safety is built into the design of all new roads, junctions and transport projects, rather than being an afterthought."
