That is a tough break.

Hope he recovers better that Doctors expect.....it has happened before.?

This is so sad, I remember watching him win the Polka dot jersey for Barloworld at the Tour, he was a hero and unfortuantly never had any signifigant results after that.

very sad - Barloworld were incredible that year and Soler was a big part of it.

 

Nice to see he has things in perspective - and at least he can walk away having achieved something special
