He will undergo a 9 hour long extensive facial surgery tomorrow for his broken nose, upper & lower jaw and teeth. After that he can't talk for 2 weeks.

Kris Boeckmans’ face has been put back together with 50 screws and eight plates in more than five hours of surgery. The Lotto-Soudal rider will remain in intensive care for 24 hours at the ZOL Hospital in Genk, Belgium.

Surgeons repaired fractures to the nose, eye socket, and upper jawbone, as well as “some internal fractures.” The jaw was blocked for two weeks to aid recovery.

On Monday his condition will be re-evaluated, with doctors deciding when he might be allowed to go home.

That really must have hurt like hell.

Just reading that is painful. Hopefully he'll be cycling again soon!
