McGee back to racing

Australian Bradley McGee is back to competition. The Francaise des Jeux rider participated in Sunday's Châteauroux Classic de l’Indre in France, his first race since he had to abandon the Tour de Suisse in early June this year due to a back problem that had already caused him to withdraw from the Giro d'Italia earlier on. McGee suffered several inflammations of his sciatic nerve, ruining his 2006 season, and is now hoping to get some form back for the last part of this year's calendar.
