Mountain biker Brook MacDonald: The broken back comeback

From Checkpoint, 6:25 pm on 1 September 2020

Almost a year ago to the day, Brook MacDonald broke his back.

The New Zealand downhill mountain biker suffered the worst crash of his career and lay semi-paralysed on the side of a Canadian mountain.

Testamant to the strength and determination of the man they call "Bulldog", MacDonald has just left New Zealand for Austria, with plans to compete at October's World Champs.

Joe Porter has more.
