Australian cycling ace Jay Vine has revealed his high emotion at being able to take his first steps towards recovery after the dreadful crash he feared might prevent him ever walking ever again.
The 28-year-old Canberra-based rider, who suffered a fractured skull and vertebrae in his high-speed spill into a roadside concrete ditch at the Itzulia Basque Country race last week, revealed that he's been able to take his first tentative steps around his hospital ward in Spain after a "scary" period of uncertainty about his future.
