O'Grady's bones

Another broken collarbone but "back on the home trainer in a week...and then the Tour de Suisse"!

Anyone venture a guess on how many times the lad has broken a bone? You gotta love your craft to put the body through so much stress. Truly a Man of Mettle!

maybe he should just get his collar bones replaced with titanium or something..

i'm sure by now he's got more metal in his body than the titanic

Unfortunately since Titanium is lighter than bone UCI regulation outlaw more than 10% of any bone to be replaced by metal without a TUE. True fact.

That could be a problem the colar bone is not that big is there enough room for more titanium.

Super glue maybe the answer.

Will he suffer after cycling days are over.
