I just happened to be listening to Radio Havana Cuba on the shortwave radio when they announced this:
Cuban Top Road Cyclist in Serious Condition
PINAR DEL RIO, Cuba, July 15 (acn) Cuba's best road cyclist, Pedro Pablo Pérez, six times Vuelta a Cuba (Tour of Cuba) winner is in a serious condition after having a car accident Monday morning.
