Cumbria Police: 'Not as serious as first thought, the cyclist suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital by North West Ambulance Service' cycling
An air ambulance was called to an incident on the infamous Hardknott Pass during Sunday's Fred Whitton, the iconic Lake District sportive that takes in all the area's toughest climbs and is regarded as one of, if not the toughest event for amateur riders in the UK.
The air ambulance attended an incident near the fearsome upper slopes of Hardknott Pass, a YouTube video by one participant, mile2k, showed riders waiting patiently behind as the helicopter left the scene. "Not as serious as first thought the cyclist suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital by North West Ambulance Service," Cumbria Police told road.cc about the Hardknott incident, the event's organisers confirming"nothing too serious, only one rider kept overnight in hospital".
This year's edition also saw the course record broken as 17-year-old Finlay Hawker set a quite incredible time of 5:26 at an average speed of 33.5km/h .
