    ****. I'm very sorry to hear that man. The f*cking randomness of life and cycling eh. There's your answer to the 'nah, leave it and it'll probably get better' scenario at least. Sometimes these things take a bit to show their severity, I fractured my wrist when I was younger and it seemed ok for a couple of days till one day I tried to lean on it and it was agony. It's definitely best to take the time to heal up properly and look after yourself, although I know that will suck for various reasons. Hopefully you'll be good to go soon. You sounded like a castaway until I read further along <laugh>

    Superman to the rest of the world but I bet that was one of those 'slow motion moments' where 1.78 seconds feels like a day for you <whistle>

    Just helped a cyclist who had collapsed opposite my place.Luckily there was a doctor passing by and she took care of him until ambulance came.He looked to me as if it was heat exhaustion but I'm no expert.Got his Dogma £££££ bike in garage for safe keeping and messaged his missus my contact details.
    Hope he recovers done my good deed going to have a few beers now.

    insane, no point spending that much on a bike even if you can, i know that's hardly the point, but there's no way anyone who isn't a top level pro cyclist benefits from that high end a bike, and there's no way those level of bikes are worth that much in comparison to 'cheaper' ones

    Froome not so much of a surprise as he's still getting his form back following his very bad crash and he's also leaving Ineos

    Thomas is more of a surprise but they've obviously gone for the younger, new generation of riders with Bernal as No 1 which was always going to be the case, and Carapaz as back up

    They've said it's so that Froome can go after the Vuelta and Thomas can try for the Giro, and the team and both riders are saying the right things, or the ordered things to the media, but there's clearly much more to it than that

    Personally I hope another team can get their rider to win the yellow jersey this year
