My view is that Tyler had a much bigger problem than a fractured clavicle, and that was mental anguish. For him, getting on his bike to train or race was likely a greater challenge that he faced everyday. Whatever the level of physical pain was due to the fracture, I'm certain that the guy was determined enough to get through it. Now, whether he had some unorthodox pharmacological assistance is anyone's guess.
He lived upstairs from us in Girona and was exceedingly nice. His vibe was definitely the nice guy type. When my wife was sick and pregnant he went to a number of local pharmacies to find Pepto Bismol for her after our failed attempts; he did this without asking!
I was out motorpacing LA and GH near Girona on one particularly blustery day when we came upon Tyler on a fixed gear BMC. It was impressive and would have been painful. He was the only rider I ever saw using one.
