CS Santosh can now walk and run - gross motor skills that he had nearly lost two months ago. In January, the Indian rider met with a brutal crash in Stage 4 of the Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia - he was thrown off his bike, briefly lost his pulse, was resuscitated by two riders, chopper-flown to a medical facility within 15 minutes, and spent close to ten days in induced coma. The 37-year old has little memory of any of this.
