He was 2 weeks in the hospital for some reason, certainly because the injuries were very serious.
His lung issue was pre-eminent in need for evaluation. Once healed it's usually good to go.
Its the 2 weeks of inactivity and reported slow start that suggests it was more serious.
As for broken/cracked ribs and collarbone: I can count half a dozen amateur riders that raced well within several weeks as long as they could pull on the bars. It's the down time in recovery that requires serious work to regain fitness. If there was a period that justifiedly was under wraps by Visma and Co.; it makes strategic sense. Jonas and JV don't owe us exact fitness status and should take advantage of improvement.
If there is a heroic movie about "miracle comebacks" then they'd probably do Jonas a favor and be direct. If he wins he doesn't owe me an explanation as I wouldn't tell opponents sh*t either. It's the fans and a little hyper-press that tend to take this to extremes.
If, however, I hear Phil Liggett breathlessly declare: "we haven't seen a COMEBACK LIKE THIS SINCE LANCE'S VICTORY OVER CANCER1..." I will want to break something.
We'd all like to see an epic Tour and it's building tension so sit back......
