Kneecap? Huhm.
Stetina was out 4 months when he broke his. But otherwise he was back the next year.
Henao was out for the season, but was back to his best early the next year.

Terrible loss for Quintana and the TdF. Hopefully he recovers well enough to continue racing--would be a bummer if this was his last race.
EDIT: I think it's important to remember he's 37. He's going to take longer to heal and may never regain his top form again

Just a bad excuse for not winning the Vuelta I guess. Huh.
Terrible. I feel so sad for Alejandro the Great, may you have a quick recovery campeón!

Re:
A clean break means his season is probably over. The issue is whether it's a clean break or if additional damage has been done.

Very sad to see this. We've been robbed of more great moments from him in 2017. Hopefully he can fully heal.
If it is a simple clean break of the kneecap it should be ok, if it is a shattered kneecap that is whole different scenario.
This is very bad. 
Now it's time for his protégé Betancur to step up.
I think he will return strong. That's what he always did!

Re:
Of course he could beat him today, the desperation stems more likely from his inferiority in the GC battle. He was (likely) desperate to show who was the best in the most important race of the season. His hubris bit him in his arse though.Valv.Piti said:
It's also shocking because Valverde rarely crashes. And never crashes out with serious injuries.
But a broken kneecap is horrible. Hopefully it's a clean break, but at his age the chance is there he will never return to his old level

Wow pathatic reactions from Netserk in the last few pages.
Such a shame for the race that Valverde and Izagirre both crashed out. The seriousness of the injury is a major disappointment for other reasons as well, I hope Alejandro can make a full recovery.

Froome's, Valverde's and Quintana's fans were almost celebrating Contador's crash last year.
that's just blatant lies

Re:
Enough of it. I don't remember such things happening either, but if that poster feels that way, so be it. There is no need to go further down the road. Lets try to stay on topic, its getting pretty petty lately.rick james said:
Re: Re:
I also do think his comments were particularly insensitive and frankly disrespectful after such a bad crash which potentially is career-threatening. But what can you do - I think in the future its best just to completely ignore such posts, but its hard in the wake of it all when emotions are running high.Blanco said:Ruudz0r said:

Re:
I don't think Fuglsang's reaction was bad really, but the question was. For those interested, while Fuglsang was warming down and Valv basically just had crashed, the interviewer says (with a huge grin on his face) that thats one rival less. It was pretty ugly, but I think Fuglsang handled it okay considering the question and all. I don't really want to blame him, rather the very stupid question from the interviewer.Hugo Koblet said:
Re: Re:
I agree that the reporter was out of line, but I think that Fuglsang was as well. He certainly didn't try to hide his smile at least.Valv.Piti said:
Fuglsang basically replied that he was more focused on the fact that it was colleague being hurt, rather than a competitor being out.
Really *** but not surprising, it was just very dangerous out there
If it makes his fans on here feel any better, I cheered for him when he came by
