Just got word that our Scottish correspondent and team rider Pete 'wee man' Scullion has taken a hit.

Wee Pete was riding through the mean streets of Edinburgh and was cruelly cut down in his prime by some ned in a white van. The police are on the scene and Pete is off to hospital for an op on his finger which is currently Z shaped. Get well soon buddy!

Read more for a wee montage of photos I've found of Pete when he wasn't bust up...

Yo! It's World Cup weekend and the Wideopen team will be out in force at Fort Bill to bring you the latest action... With any luck we'll be beaming heaps of great pics, video and updates to you through the webby and our facebook..... There's a tonne of coverage available all over the web so be sure to include us on your list to check out - especially if you wanna see how the UK young guns are getting on - we like them the best... I'm currently 30 minutes into my journey and sat on a train to cardiff to hook up with paul and tim from footout flatout... Soon as we hook up we'll start the mammoth 12 hour drive north! I'm pretty sure that's longer than the flight to whistler. Shit. Proper updates start tomorrow... But if you want to see some words from the road stay tuned. The boarder I get the more i,ll update! Stay tuned! Jamie - Wideopenmag's travel sick editor
