It was absolutely awful watching Lindsay Vonn's crash just now. I had a relatively negligible ski accident a couple of years ago and strained the interior knee ligament and bruised the knee bones. The pain was unbelievable, to the extent that I only realised a few days later that I'd also fractured my ankle.
Vonn was, incomprehensibly, racing with a ruptured ACL and crashed at speed. She was still screaming in pain 15 minutes after so the painkilling effect of the adrenaline shock clearly wasn't touching the sides. I almost had to vomit seeing it.
It's beeǹˆ a fantastic giro. Two lessons - you never know what might happen if you can make it to the end; and you won't outbluff tricky dicky carapaz.
Happy Christmas everyone from Switzerland. I post once a decade these days but rely daily on Clive's writing and cat herding and all your humour and insights to keep up with all that matters in Blighty, so cheers all!
