Olympic champion Dani King is recovering in hospital after suffering a collapsed lung and five broken ribs in a freak training accident.
The 23-year-old from Southampton, who is based in Cardiff, crashed on a regular route in the South Wales Valley after a member of her training group hit a pothole.
She is been kept under observation by doctors and it is understood she has not yet been given a release date.
King wrote on Twitter: "Crashed whilst out training yesterday resulting in 5 broken ribs and a collapsed lung. Being looked after by the amazing NHS ICU in Wales."
King won team pursuit gold at the London 2012 Olympics, but has opted out of British Cycling's track squad this season to focus on the road. The accident has occurred in the road off-season.
The track team, including King's fellow Olympic champion Laura Trott, are currently at the first round of the Track Cycling World Cup in Mexico.
Trott tweeted: "Sending lots of best wishes to @DaniKing1 this morning after a horrible crash #speedyrecovery X."
