Amy Pieters has shown encouraging progress in her recovery from a serious brain injury after walking for the first time since waking from a coma.
The Dutch cyclist spent four months in a coma after crashing and hitting her head during a training ride near Calpe, Spain with her national track team last December.
Pieters, of Team SD Worx, underwent a life-saving operation and was put in an induced coma, but regained consciousness in April and was moved to an intensive neuro-rehabilitation centre in August; the Daan Theeuwes Center in Woerden.
