World Champion and Olympian Andy Potts was involved in a major bike crash on Sunday, August 31 at the Chicago Triathlon. Following placing first in the swim, Andy was involved in the bike crash at approximately mile 8 on Lakeshore Drive when an age-group athlete drifted to the left causing the collision as Andy attempted to pass. At the time of the incident, Andy was riding with a tail wind and traveling at 37mph which upon impact, caused him to slide 150-200 feet on the grooved pavement. His helmet protected him for head injury, but Andy did suffer road rash and received stitches in his right elbow from doctors who compared the crash to that of a motor cycle collision. Read More »
