The Velonews report is the most sobering and disheartening to read. I know there are many racers in this area who are friends with Saul and grew up racing against him.

I'm certain Saul and his family would greatly appreciate everyone praying for him to recover from his injuries. So take a knee and pour out some heartfelt healing energy Saul's way.
