Holy smokes!! When I first saw that immediately after the crash, I knew it would be a little black & blue the next day......but that just looks nasty!! Yikes. I hope it heals quickly. How's the shoulder scrape doing?? Will you be back in racing action soon??
You guys are komikazi out there! I have been racing for 10 years and have had 3 crashes on the road. Only 1 was in a race. The rest were my own stupidity on a decent.
You are a big dude, lean on people more and stick them elbows out, it works. Even for a little guy like me. People move, you just have to invade their space a little.
Looks to me like on that last prime you got some eggplant parmesan. I would have much prefered you went for the Continental tires prime instead...

ReplyDeleteIt doesn't really hurt, just looks...well, you see!
ReplyDeleteI rode yesterday for 1.5 hrs. Luckily this is a rest week so I'm doing mostly low intensity/active recovery stuff.
I've got family obligations for the next few weekends otherwise I'd be out there this weekend.

Unfortunately in this case the crash was in front of me and I don't think the corner diver was even involved in the crash. The domino effect.
ReplyDeleteI usually don't have too much trouble with guys trying to push me off line.
Cripes! That doesn't look fun. I hope you skip the rest of the rainbow & go straight back to healthy pink.
