Douglas cyclist Jonny Bellis returns to stage racing today a year after a crash that almost cost him his life.
Jonny was seriously injured in a scooter incident last September.
After time in a coma and months of rehabilitation the 22 year old will today be taking part in the Tour Of Britain.
He told 3FM 'considering I was nearly dead a year ago to be able to race is amazing.' (audio above)
