Looks a nasty one (collision with a bus). End of his season for sure.
Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Very sad news.
May be out for sometime.

Re: Egan Bernal crash in training
Will we ever see an on form Bernal start against Pogacar on a Grand Tour? I think it's one of the more exciting prospects for racing this year.

BBC Article. Very, very nasty.
"The 25-year-old had spinal surgery, as well as procedures on his right leg, a fractured knee-cap and collapsed lung."

Apparently on his TT bike so even more headlong than usual. Every injury listed made me wince: femur & cervical vertebrae in addition to what they say.
I hope he doesn't lose his nerve. A few years back a very strong rider I knew broke her neck when her fork snapped: she needed bone grafts to repair it. She hasn't got onto a bike since.

Have we got time for another cuppa?

Surgery described as successful on the TV news at lunchtime. Still too early to speculate how long recovery may take.

Will he ever be 100% even after recovery?I suppose he has age on his side but that is a nasty list of injuries
