DieselnDust Posted June 2, 2021 Share Nah he'll be in Tokyo. If a ballie like me can be on an indoor bike 4 days after surgery and ride the DC 7 weeks post op he can make Tokyo althought I would say its touch and go. Will his shoulder be strong enough to the handle the strain of manhandling the bike over an XCO course? He's young and fit so he should be able to recover in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he would have a car following him? Or is he not that 'big' yet... Also, its a TT bike, which might explain the extra speed needed to bomb the frame like that, although I hope he wasn't giving it the beans through town. Weird. Sucks.

Mark James Posted June 3, 2021 Share Really sad to read, the guy is a machine and I was really looking forward to seeing him in the Olympics after watching him destroy the course and opposition in Nove Mesto. Hopefully 8 weeks is enough for him to recover ???? Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he lives in Andorra now - so goes out for training rides solo. Much like Willie Wallie documents in his vlog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
