Get well soon to all concerned. It's early in the year, be positive, there is some time before the season starts in anger.
These young, fit lads heal quick (I hope) and they'll be back out in no time. 'Specially with the names in there.Ecrasez l’infame0 -
Degenkolb has lost a finger (tip?) on his left hand.
Re-attachment hopefully."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

I thought some of the stuff on this forum was bad...
Bad way to start the season, hope they can pull something out just so there can be a good feeling in the camp.
Do wonder how it happened.
Hope they all come back race fit sooner rather than later0 -
It's worse than a thread about leg strength on here.0

Some of the people who post comments on the telegraph are not the most humane to put it politely. The comments by "you want working on boy" are actually fairly benign for his/her usual standards.0

I would sadly concur, it's descent into clickbait and dumbed down celebrity nonsense has neutered what was once a great newspaper."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

To be fair a lot of those comments are obviously trolling, and there's plenty of that on any online forum.0 -

Degenkolb reported to be out for 3 months after crash, though will spend his time usefully by nurturing his tash!
