High speed crash into a wall

Unable to speak

Airlifted

Breaking the largest bone in the human body

 

And Marianne also crashed

Laceration to face

 

Cycling is one tough sport

No ways I’ll give the wife my social media log in details! [emoji15]

At least give here LeHub password and have her come talk some sense here for a day or two.....Now that would catch us off guard.

Broken femur, elbow and ribs, going to be a long road to recovery.

That a serious amount of damage... hoping for a speedy and full recovery!!

Yep.. this is the part where we say, at least he gets to tell the story..high speed crash like that, it could have been much worse.

This is not good at all.

 

Good luck Froome!

Will he? 

 

Things at 35 don't heal as quickly as they used to. Lets say whole season out, so back to pro racing at 36. Can he afford to 'rebuild' for a year and come back at 37?

 

Shoe in for a Di Data contract, but realistically, this could be the end of Captain Elbows.

 

 

I do hope I'm wrong.

Might come back but suspect this was his last opportunity to add another TdF win to his palmares

Hope he heals up soon.

 

Reading the write ups last night, they were saying that he took his hands off the bars on a down hill section to 'blow' his nose and a gust of wind came up and caused the crash at +/- 60kph.

Apparently the second hospital picked up a hip fracture too (not confirmed)

 

Note to self.. Never blow your nose when you ride a TT bike..actually just stay off a TT bike
