Seven broken ribs. A fractured sternum. His collarbone in several pieces, a broken finger and both lungs punctured. These were the doctors' verdict when Vingegaard was rushed to hospital. But on the trip to the hospital, Vingegaard feared the worse.

- ‘I can't breathe for the first ten seconds. Already then I know that something is wrong,’ Jonas Vingegaard says about the moment after he hit the ground on a descent.

- ‘When I can finally breathe again, I cough up blood. That's when I realise that something is wrong.
The doctors keep Jonas Vingegaard in hospital for twelve days. The first eight days in intensive care.

In addition to the many broken bones, there is a small puncture on his left lung, the right lung is almost completely collapsed. He has a drain in his lung for about a week due to internal bleeding.
 

Even worse than we thought from the reports. Absolute miracle he was at the form he reached for the Tour. If Pogacar wasn’t there it’d have been a legendary comeback story. It’ll be interesting to see his shake this season and how much he can improve on.
 

He was going to win the Tour without the crash.

Imagine the shape he was going to be in the Tour, without the crash.

The injuries were worse than what was reported.
 
Whats new same as been reported all the time? puncture on his lung isnt uncommon and many worse injuries to cyclist to recover from. He and his wife cried again just as in the Tour and was in schock? understandable it was a bad injury.

You dont need to go further then Steff Crass same time this year, check him up, same time and same injury with even more complications for evidence how common it is so not very legendary at all and normal within this sport of that type of injury.

In the sense equally impressive comeback for Crass as he aswell was back at his best and better than ever just as Vingegaard (which btw kudos to both, these athletes are impressive not saying I would) its not a uncommon injury to recover fast from tho for these guys when its so many cases of the same happen- he even was more injured so in that sense more impressive comeback than Vingegaard if were being real, alot of smoke and little substance in the sense of how special.

Dont get me wrong awfull crash and injury which I hope dont happen to anyone but in terms of legendary recovery its not very special if you look at others with exact same injury and worse and within same time better then ever before even its not rare or special(even less when you see how many tihin the same timespan, its alot with same kinda injury its seem very comomon infact) its more a norm than the opposite in pro cycling with that typ of injury.

I don't see Steff Crass podium the TdF though ? Let alone winning a single race. That's not taking anything from Steff, at all, it's merely putting things into perspective.

You cannot compare the riders. Not on injury, not on shape or form and not on whoms wife cries the most.

Your perspective is wrong for that matter alone, and your knowledgeable hand waving around Jonas' injury is based on what ? The press, the medical journal ?

Whether or not you believe either riders come back is better than the others, at least have some decency in your rhetoric.

When people die or lose their careers due to injuries, others should simply stfu and have some respect.

I will say though, and I am not a particular big fan of Jonas as a bike rider, but he seems angry and he seems lit. From where he comes from, the northern, when people there get angry they usually inflict the pain on others, slow and over a long time. But certain.

Happy new year
 
So, definitely i think No Giro.

Tour-Vuelta as should be.


"It's difficult to compare to the spring because i lost a lot of muscle mass, so i don't have the same power as then, i couldn't do the sam watts as then, but i was lighter because i lost a lot of muscle mass. It wasn't a advantage in any way."

Unbeliavable what he did in the conditions he did the Tour. Nobody would do what he did on those conditions.
 
He was going to win the Tour without the crash.

The injuries were worse than what was reported.

He said " when he was as good as he was this year, even without my crash it would have been difficult to beat him ".

Now imagine this year with NO GIRO. It is raising from difficult to > extremely difficult.
