Injured Aussie cyclists fly home
Alexis Rhodes
Australian cyclists Alexis Rhodes and Louise Yaxley have returned home after suffering serious injuries in a fatal road accident in Germany last month.

Rhodes, 20, and Yaxley, 23, spent the past month in the University Clinic in the German city of Jena.

They were badly hurt in July when a car ploughed into them and four other women training for the Tour of Thueringen.

Rhodes and Yaxley both suffered chest trauma and other injuries. Fellow rider Amy Gillett was killed instantly.

The other injured women, Kate Nichols, Katie Brown and Lorian Graham, were treated in hospital for their injuries and have already returned to Australia.
