Kinda find myself stuck in an Itallian hospital after putting the bike where it shouldn't be.

Does anyone have any recommendations to a live stream site I could use to watch the TDF this afternoon

Much appreciated

Cheers, appreciated.

Yeah Airlifted out of mountains. CT scan. Severed the main atery to the spleen, emergency surgery to fix. Along Three fractured ribs. It's very sore. Six days in hospital so far and looking at being discharged mid next week for repatriation.

Riverria Cycling have been truly awesome. The medical team also outstanding. Friends amazing. And snow card insurance who are just arranging everything with zero involvement from me thus allowing me to recover without worry such a slick outfit to the point they will fully expense my girlfriend to come out

Oucheroo OP!

Hope you heal fast.

Enjoy the attention of the Italian nurses - you can even try your best "whaddabeautifullaydeeeee" comedy Italian accent.

Severed artery to the spleen. Sounds like you had some good riding partners to get you out of there so quick.
Heal fast

Ohh get well soon.

I need to organise my insurance for Italy for September. Which level of Snowcard cover did you get? There seems to be several options for 'mountain biking'. Very impressed with the way they are looking after you.

Graham. felt like an eternity for the medivac to arrive. We gave them lat/long coordinates which quickened there arrival I suspect they were in the area too. hardest part for them was locating an entry point through the tree cover. Rivers is guide helped massively too. Surgeon did say it was a matter of saving the organ, from that I'm taking it was borderline. Swelling to abdomin due to internal bleeding which is dispersing gradually. Alls heading in the right direction which is good

Can we ask what you did ? Impale yourself on a tree or bike bars (?) ?
