Ouch
Life May 10th, 2008Well, not quite what I’d hoped for up here. I ended up hitting the deck yesterday in a solid 60kph stack right in the middle of the bunch. Nothing like center-punching a stack of guys on the ground and superman-ing over the top. Managed to get up eventually, swap bikes and get an uber tow from the medical car, and then the team car, back to the field, but once the gas went back on ended up in the caravan for 15k, dangling off the back. Finally they slowed down, we stopped for a pee, and when I tried to get started again the knee completely locked up. A little one legged riding up to the waiting car and that was that. Now a lot of ice, advil like smarties and rest for a few and hopefully it’ll end up not being too bad. Power of positive thought, and stuff… Off to watch the rest of the guys on a really hard circuit today and hopefully catch the Giro ttt on tv this afternoon - go guys go!

Damn Will - that looks a bit painful. Keep the ice going and heal it up. Hopefully a couple days and you’ll be back at it with Picardie. Can I just say I am really jealous you guys get the Giro on TV. CTV for us here.
There should be some goodies for you back in Girona once you get back there (early bday stuff).
