The only things I have heard so far is

QuoteLast I heard was broken neck and 2 broken vertebrae. Can feel pressure in legs but cannot move them. I talked to his team and told them to post up on CCS on any help they need.

and

QuoteI got an update last night on the way home. The racer was in surgery around 7:00pm. At that time, they were giving him a 50/50 chance at paralyzation from the waist down.

I spoke with his family Monday night and he was in surgery at the time.
I don't feel it is my place to provide information on his condition, but suffice it to say he and his family needs our thoughts and prayers.

We are with you Zsolt!

Guy that went off in T3 of race 10 during warm-up lap, that was my team mate. He is ok, but bike is not. We are currently rebuilding as we speak.
