Damn man. Hate hate hate seeing that. Hope kid has successful recovery.

Sounds like a deep slash into the muscle fiber... Ouch. Not like the butt is an important functional group for cycling.

Unfortunate, but not at all surprising. When I saw the crash, I figured he'd be done for the season. That barrier ripped an enormous tear through his leg.

Good interview with him in the hospital...scary stuff for a young kid.

it was stated at one point to be the "muscle capsule" which needed to be closed. so yeah, a very deep slash. I think it's further down the leg though, judging from the dressings.

hope he's back soon, but it's more important for him to get a full recovery, however long that takes. kid's got massive talent and a very bright future.
