Thanks!
you mean he was flying on Strava KOMs 6 days after the "surgery". Someone needs to explain to me how this is possible. The position on a roadbike puts a lot of pressure on the collarbone. Sure you can go on the rollers or so, but only a few days after the surgery going outside and riding all out?Red Rick said:Bernal was flying on Strava KOMs during like the 2nd week of the Giro

Probably because the collarbone is one of the least important bones in the body.
This Charming Man said:Just terrible for Geraint, hoping he can race full throttle, in LeTour. Frank Schleck, Tyler Hamilton, Lance Armstrong came back from collerbone injuries and excelled in tour. Hoping ro the best for Geraint.
I dont mean to be men, but if he recovers from accident and is able to ride tour, it will harden him up....accidents hardened up contador, merckx, etc.RedheadDane said:This Charming Man said:Just terrible for Geraint, hoping he can race full throttle, in LeTour.

And it might not even be that bad for G.

Hes broken his broken his collar bone and pelvis in the past amongst other things. I'm sure this is no worse

Yeah, didn't he ride basically the entire Tour with a fracture in his leg once?
Leinster said:He came 2nd to Dumoulin in the Giro TT the day **after** the crash on the stage to Blockhaus that put him out of the race. He’s ridden through pain before, I just doubt it’s an ideal recipe for going into the biggest race of the season.
All I read was that he has a cut over his eye, where did you read about the clav?This Charming Man said:Just terrible for Geraint, hoping he can race full throttle, in LeTour.

That’s the new special bubble wrap that Ineos have developed in conjunction with Castelli, for greater aerodynamics, breathability, temperature regulation and muscle support. Marginal gains.Lequack said:Hope Geraint can start the Tour. We've already been robbed of the Froome vs Geraint spectacle.
