    Or has he. Is it not a secret ploy so be can go to Sky's top secret regeneration plant over the winter? Skybot Deignan reporting for duty Sir.

    Hopefully not, TWH. He hasnt need an op, and Tommy V - who did - was back racing at Tour Med just 4 weeks after he came a cropper in Oz

    From the team website earlier this week:

    The climbing specialist is understandably disappointed not to be making his second Team Sky start on Wednesday but it expecting to make a speedy recovery.

    He told us: “The medical team have taken a good look at it and we’ve decided not to have surgery, so I’m back home in Donegal now getting ready to go again.

    Team Sky’s Lead Doctor Alan Farrell couldn’t confirm exactly when Deignan will be back in action, but is pleased with the progress being made with the injury, and doesn’t expect it to affect his longer-terms goals.

    He said: “Collarbones to tend to heal quite quickly but it’s difficult to say at this point exactly how long he’ll be out for.
    “This particular fracture is not a bad one though...


    The team really want him at the Giro - so that's an added plus

    Good news

    Talking of Irish riders, seems Felix English has WT teams interested in him. I did hear that he lucked out last year - had an offer from a ProConti team but it was pulled when other ProConti and WT teams collapsed and they were able to get in a WT rider cheap instead.
