gummibear Posted January 24, 2016 Author Posted January 24, 2016 @Cyclingnewsfeed: Chad Haga is in a stable condition after the @GiantAlpecin accident in Spain.
Bonus Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Too soon dude, too soon! Shame man, hope they come right. From the reports coming out, the guys seem to be in good spirit... Sorry! :-) I actually only noticed myself a short while ago when I was re-reading the thread.
Larry King Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Following rumours that the collision with an oncoming car during the team’s training camp in Calpe had resulted in crush injuries to his hand and could lead to the amputation of one digit, he clarified the situation via his Facebook page. “Because of the many well-wishes and messages to me, I want to briefly update things,” he stated. “I’m all right, considering the circumstances. Earlier wounds to my thigh, forearm and lip were stitched together under general anaesthetic. “Now I’m in the ambulance heading to Valencia, where my left index finger should be fixed in a bigger hospital. It was barely hanging on to my hand. I don’t remember much.” So now he can only order 4 beers?

gummibear Posted January 24, 2016 Author Posted January 24, 2016 TEAM GIANT-ALPECIN REPORTS THAT WARREN BARGUIL (FRA), FREDRIK LUDVIGSSON (SWE), RAMON SINKELDAM (NED) AND MAX WALSCHEID (GER) HAVE LEFT THE HOSPITAL IN SPAIN AND ARE CURRENTLY TRAVELING HOME. “Warren is doing relatively well,” said team physician Anko Boelens (NED). “In France he will undergo an additional examination to determine whether surgery is needed on his fractured scaphoid. His recovery will take a minimum of six weeks, after which he can restart his buildup to competition level.Fredrik has multiple bruised ribs, as well as bruises and scratches all over his body.Ramon is recovering from cuts on his knee and chin, which have been stitched, and wounds and bruises all over his body.Max will have additional examinations in Germany on his tibia and thumb, which are fractured. He is expected to need surgery, and his recovery will also take some months. CHAD HAGA (USA) AND JOHN DEGENKOLB (GER) ARE STILL IN THE HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT. “Chad did well over the night. He had a successful surgery on his neck and chin wounds and is completely approachable. In several days to one week, he will have surgery on his orbital fracture too. Until then, and to recover following the orbital surgery, he will stay in the hospital for treatment. “After yesterday’s successful surgery on a cut in his upper leg, John had operations on his hand and fractured forearm this morning, which were successful. He will travel to Germany in the next few days for further treatment to his arm and hand. Then he will also start his recovery process. His immediate focus will be on recovery, which will take time, but it’s difficult to make an estimation at this point.” CEO Iwan Spekenbrink (NED) said: “Obviously yesterday’s accident had a huge impact on the team. The recovery of the riders is the first priority, as well as the emotional processing of the event for those who were there. It is clear that the team has been set back some months. It will certainly take time for the team to return to full strength, but everybody will work hard, dedicated and closely together to get there.”

T-Bob Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Great to see Chad Haga is keeping his twitter banter going from hospital on the whole series of events.
T-Bob Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Chad Haga @ChadHaga I was kinda expecting helicopter rides to be more fun than that. They must have a great marketer.
T-Bob Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Chad Haga @ChadHaga Someone should investigate the effect of crashes on phones. Mine didn't break, but it weighs 10kilos now.
T-Bob Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Chad Haga @ChadHaga Whoever said "lead with your face" is an idiot. Definitely don't do that.
