I didn't see or hear about this on Sunday.  I believe Ryan is out of Duluth and races for Georgia based Blue Competition (Norcross).  I believe he is a Cat 1/2 racer. 

 

From ST:

Blue Bicycles' Ryan Barnett was hit by a truck and landscape trailer while warming up for the Roswell Criterium on Saturday night. He apparently now has several skull fractures, broken ribs, a chipped pelvis and a compression fracture of T3, which is seemingly causing some paralysis. He is currently at the Gwinett medical center in Atlanta, GA, and it is planned to move him to the Shepherd Center at some time tomorrow. The Shepherd Center is where Saul Raisin was treated after his terrible accident in Europe. The prognosis from the doctors so far is 60/40 for his chance to be walking again. Ryan is a very nice outgoing person and is an amazingly fast talented cyclist. He works for Blue Bicycles as their marketing manager and is very passionate about his work.

DANG!!  That's awful!  I'm surprised we/I haven't heard about this sooner.  I was at the Crit for a while on Sunday and didn't hear anything.  Keep us posted on any more news and he'll be in our prayers for sure!

My club's forum said it didn't happen at the crit..He was riding on Jimmy Carter. Blech. I hate hearing about stuff like this. Hope the man makes a complete recovery.

Thanks for the update.  The blurb does make it sound like he was out on a training ride prepping for the next day's event.
