Minor Setback CRASH

So all was going good yesterday. Finally getting settled into the french life style, training and form was on the up until on a team training ride i hit the deck pretty hard. We were told to sprint into the town which was all going good until the guy in front of me took himself out some how and i went over the top of him going about 50 km/h. My right hip took all of the impact with my front wheel breaking every spoke and the hub come separate.

After the crash was when it all got exciting! Ambulances were called and people rushing around. Was a mission and a half trying to explain to the ambulance staff that it was only my hip that was sore (in France there are 4 staff to an ambulance so its pretty hectic inside!). Off to hospital it was where a lot of waiting around was done while the doctors and nurses talked away which i had no idea what was about. I got a few x-rays done and was told that all is good and will just need 4-7 days off the bike until the swelling goes down.

After all this i was pretty guttered as i was building a little form to a "Federale Junior" Race on the 10th March which is a major race to get noticed in by bigger teams. Hopefully my hip heals faster than expected and i can still post a good result in this race!

Anyways now I'm just recovering at home playing on and x-box Chad an I brought today for a few days until i can knock out some k's next week.

Oh and the only bright side bout going to French hospitals is that the nurses are banging which makes the experience a lot more enjoyable.

Bored! Even got a sweet gown
