2011 World Cup track, Manchester, Azizulhasni Awang

Not so Azizulhasni Awang, who crashed and collected a seven-inch splinter through his left leg. He still managed to cross the line and win the overall keirin title. Photo: Andrew Yates | AFP

Patrick O'Grady

Patrick O’Grady joined VeloNews as its cartoonist in 1989 and a succession of editors has failed to dislodge him. He was a newspaperman from 1977 to 1991, but it felt too much like work, plus he never got any free bike parts. So he quit for the carefree life of a free-lance rumormonger, and now you have to deal with him, as do we. Sorry ’bout that. O’Grady lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with his wife, Shannon, and their cats, Turkish and Miss Mia Sopaipilla. He has more bikes than chins, but only just barely.
