The dreadful news that Caja Rural - Seguros RGA's 23-year-old rider Josu Etxeberria was run over whilst on a training ride has now seen some light at the end of the tunnel as thankfully he has begun to breathe on his own.

Just eight days after his crash, Etxeberria remains in the Intensive Care Unit, but can now at least breathe without the help of the hospital's machines. Since arriving in the hospital, the Spaniard has been receiving round-the-clock care, with two successful surgeries required to his face following the front on collision with a car.
