Meares recovering well after accident

By Les Clarke

World record holder and Olympic gold medallist Anna Meares has recovered well after an encounter with a hay truck. Riding back from a velodrome session, Meares had to swerve off the road to avoid being swept into the truck's draft. After hitting some loose gravel she went over on her side, injuring her hand, buttocks and knee, which required stiches. "I was a bit sore for a couple of days afterwards, but I'm okay now," Meares said. "I'll get the stitches out on Monday which will be good, because they've hindered my pedalling a little bit."
