Matti Lehikoinen seriously injured

by Stu Thomson
Sep 26, 2011 at 7:18

It’s with great sadness to let you know that Team ChainReactionCycles.com/Nukeproof rider Matti Lehikoinen was involved in a serious crash while racing at the Nordic Downhill Championships in Kungsberget-Sweden over the weekend.

Full details of the incident are as yet unclear, but the crash happened during the finals of the event in which local rider Robin Wallner and Matti were battling it out for the win. Robin wrote on his blog: “As I was about to exit the woods I saw Matti on the ground next to the track.”

We’re glad to say that although Matti has undergone two brain scans already, doctors have confirmed that no brain damage has been done and he’s currently in a stable condition in hospital. We spoke to Matti’s partner, Anna, who told us, “Matti’s jaw, cheekbone, teeth and nose are pretty badly damaged, and he will have surgery on Wednesday.”

Leave a message for Matty below, hope he recovers quickly.

 Just as he was creeping to the top again! This man's confidence has taken many huge knocks and every time he gets back out on that bike on the world cup circuit he gains even more of my respect.

Get well soon... and don't stop throwing huge whips at Fort William.

 Can't believe it - terrible news. Such a talented rider and seems like such a nice guy too. If he wasn't so unlucky with injuries I reckon he'd be right up there in the world rankings.

Get well soon Matti - we're all rooting for you.

 Def my favourite rider, he has the worst luck with injuries ever. First spine, then both wrists, then collarbone in '09, and now this? Unbelievable.

If he managed to do that much damage to his face, it sounds like the jawpiece of his helmet gave out on him.

 I've met Matti dozens of times at the races ad not only is he flat out he is also one of the most polite and professional racers out there and for that we love you. We all know he has had some bad luck in the past crashing yet he still bounces straight back up. Thinking right know of that Chumbawumba song! Anyway on behalf of all the British riders and myself we look forward to welcoming Matti back trackside and will him a very speedy and full recovery. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and girlfriend, friends and family. Come back soon and i'll even buy you a nice English cup of tea and a bacon sandwich with brown sauce. Now thats something to look forad to. To all the very best. Si..

 Hi Matti,
sad to hear that you crashed again, I wish you all the best for your recovery and hope that we will see you again racing against any clock out there. Don't care about what all the "I know it better faces" seem to know about you. in the end it is you who will stand up after each crash and show the guys that you are still a sick f*ck on the bike and hell yeah you can ride fast we all know that. So take you time for the recovery and we will all watch how you will get back on track and on speed. I defiantly wish you all the best for the hard time that may come.

But you did show that you can recover well after the crash in Canada in 2009 so kick the youngsters asses and get out for some riding soon.

 Matti is one of the best riders out there with an upwards momentum that gets (temporarily) paused due to these serious crashes. I hope he gets well soon, he's proven he has the mental strength to get back on top and once he does he will be unstoppable again.
