Vando posted:Froome out of the Tour? Nah. Poels, Kwia, and Bernal will just drag Thomas up all the mountains instead. E - Apparently he crashed cause he was blowing his nose and there was a gust of wind. HappyCamperGL fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Jun 12, 2019 |

That's a confident thing to do when you're him. He's a much better downhill racer than he was, but blowing your nose on a windy day at full pelt is a technical manoeuvre.

It does remove the drama of froome v G unfortunately He's been riding solo round the lanes a lot here the last few days, we keep bumping into him on club rides e: not actually bumping into him physically

It's all the snails in his blood weakening his bones to build their shells out of the calcium.

There was a very interesting article on pro cyclists relative lack of bone density and why this correlates to a lot of fractures after crashes. https://blogs.bmj.com/bjsm/2018/02/27/cyclists-make-no-bones/ Basically we've got the skeletons of someone about 10-15 years older than we actually are.

serious gaylord posted:Froome is in intensive care. Could be precautionary stuff after what happened to Michael Schumacher and bleeding/swelling, but I also hear the femur was a compound fracture, so that could be a bit dire. -- Anyway here's a change of subject. Remember van Schip's insanely narrow bars last year? Well his poo poo is even weirder now...

That whole '45kph directly into a wall' makes me think there's possibly bruised organs etc in there in addition to the fractures, it's not a fun time

obviously never want to see people get hurt, let alone that hosed up, but this still makes the tour at least a little more interesting also will never stop being entertaining to me that my asthma drug is what got froome in so much trouble

I can't see Froome ever truly coming back from this. And you know what? I actually do feel quite bad for him.

Yeah not the best way to end a career. I read he had an open fracture of his femur, which is very serious and can be deadly. He's going to need pins etc at the very least.

This is like twice as bad as what happened to Taylor Phinney, though I guess the pre-injury talent isn't quite comparable.

Scapula fractures amount to <1% of all bone breaks. Ask me how I know.
