epoh Posted August 15, 2007 Share ag nee! Dit is baie jammer. Hy doen so goed en nou dit. Ek hoop hy herstel gou want hy is die ou wat dit gaan groot maak in die tour de france oor 'n paar jaar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dog Posted August 15, 2007 Share That really is sad and will be a major setback for the youngster. He was going quite well in the tour at around 19th place.This type of injury takes a long time to heal properly - took James Perry over a year to recover most of his form after a similar break. Hope the lad gets good doctors in Portugal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewep Posted August 15, 2007 Share Austin, get him back to S.A. Let him see Dr Saragus in Johannesburg. The guy is VERY good and will try to get him safely back on the bike in the quickest time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted August 16, 2007 Share Hanlie and James Perry will look after him over there. Corti also very fond of him, so I am sure he is in good hands.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrispy Posted August 16, 2007 Share Hope he has a speedy recovery. That boy is the next BIG THING from SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dog Posted August 16, 2007 Share Same place as Perry (and Floyd Landis) had their breaks. The re-alignment has to be very precise otherwise there is a blood flow defficiency to the ball joint and can end up as with Landis, where a replacement eventually becomes necessary. So good docs are important!!Sure JL will bounce back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
