Thought we had a general pro cycling thread but only found the pro tri thread.
Not good news coming out about Egan Bernal. Looking like a possible career ending crash. Just hope itās not a huge life changing crash. Fingers crossed for the guy.

It doesnāt sound good at all, especially the spine issues. He already has issues in that area.
Fingers crossed for a full recovery.

So young, hope he pulls through and recovers well, hopefully to race again. Doesnāt take much to have life changing consequences on a bike, as we all see here more than once. Look at Kristina Vogel also. Does make you consider life choices sometimes, especially for our children.

Yes, sounds hideous. By coincidence I watched the Pantani documentary: amazing the injuries he came back from - with a little help mindā¦
(PS How wrong does he look in the early days with thinning hair)

Saw that a while back, very odd look.
Watched that the other day and thought the same, much better with the shaved head!
This will mess up IGās plans for the Tour, Iād say Bernal was their only hope to defeat Pog and Rog.
I hope they still let Carapaz do the Giro, heāll rip that up. However, he may just do the job, totally unpredictable.
there was this one:
Probs worth starting up a 2022 one soon though, as the road season proper kicks off in Feb i think (with the normal Tour of Oz cancelled this year).
Awful news about Bernal though. I saw something on SM the other day from Ineos saying heād been in an accident, must have been very soon after as there were zero details.

Seems to be a bit of detail being released from Colombia but not sure how reliable it is. Some of it is pretty scary, potentially life changing.
I saw this a few days ago and it down played the injuries. Had no idea it was this badā¦
Sounds like āwill he ever ride againā rather than will he ride the '22 Tour

Yeah, it sounds like a long road back from that list of injuries. Just look at what happened to Froome
