Great that he is back. You might notice that his knees are no longer symmetric. Those injuries in [url= http://cyclingtips.com.au/2014/06/phinney-discusses-long-road-to-recovery-hopes-for-a-successful-return/ ]full[/url]:

There have been a lot of rumours that I have seen, at least from Twitter, about what the extent of my injuries were. I just thought I’d clear that up quickly.

I had a compound fracture to my tibia, just my tibia. It was a clean break. Basically in surgery they just inserted a nail to keep it in place, put it back together. It was a simple procedure. So I have a nail in my tibia and a couple of screws screwing my tibia back to my fibula.

The other thing was that I severed my patellar tendon in the crash, I think on impact with the guardrail. Ironically, in surgery they would have had to sever that tendon in order to put the nail into my tibia anyways.

So along with that severed patellar tendon I did cut off about a centimetre of my patella that I am not planning on getting back any time soon.

Doctors are always joking that I have overly large patellas anyway. At least my left one is the normal size now!

Jesus wept, just read that article. Didn't know that the accident had been directly caused by a Moto rider, and there hasn't been a direct apology. Absolutely disgraceful behavior. WT actual F 😡
