Alex Zanardi fighting for his life - again

[gm99]

Apparently, Alex Zanardi is in critical condition after suffering major head injuries in a traffic accident in Tuscany earlier today. https://www.espn.com/racing/story/_/...4686/undefined
C'mon Alex - you have defied all odds before and you can do it again!

This truly is terrible news. We can only wish him all the best.

He is one of the main inspirations for my book, as said in the foreword. It is dedicated to the likes of him, Billy Monger, Robert Kubica, Niki Lauda and many, many others who have experienced accidents behind the wheel and came back fighting. As well as to those who sadly didn't.

Zanardi is one of the toughest there is.

Terrible news. But he's won battles before. I'm praying that he wins this one. May God watch over him.
