Apparently the rider in front was sprinting off the front (so probably
actually holding onto the bars quite tightly) and hit a manhole cover.

Oh well, it's looking like you're right about the tosser thing then -
there's not much that's silly about sprinting off the front of a group.

You'd have thought early retirement on medical grounds from the prison
service would have been a cause for quiet celebration rather than suing
someone.

I make him a tosser regardless. The other guy obviously didn't kick him
into the hedge on purpose or try to decapitate him with piano wire. It
was an accident and you don't sue your friends who happened to be around
at the time when you have an accident.
