Just for those that have enquired about Marcel, having just spoken to him he has said that it is OK to pass on this info.
He has suffered a broken collar bone and a couple of ribs as a result of the accident at track last night.
He was released from hospital early this morning. Although being slightly dizzy occasionally he is feeling alright and will be back on his bike in time.
We all wish Marcel a speedy recovery.

The NZCT New Zealand Cycle Classic’s standing as New Zealand’s only UCI registered tour is reflected in the quality of the overseas teams entered each year and 2013 will be no exception.
One of Australia's most successful Continental teams, the Drapac Professional Cycling team, has finalised their line up for the 26th version of New Zealand’s premier cycle tour in 2013. Given the consistent success of their riders in 2012, the tour’s overall winner might well come from the Drapac Cycling team for the second time in five years after Peter MacDonald won the tour in 2009. Leading the charge is multi-race victor and one of their new members in the team, twenty nine year old Bernard Sulzberger; a very accomplished tour rider with a few years’ of experience after racing in many countries around the world. He is a former Australian Criterium national champion.
