He did it white water rafting, not falling out of a bar off his t1ts at 3am. Sounds like one of those unfortunate freak accidents, he was just unlucky.
hey admin can i call people idiots and other nice things without any problems? please let me know, i restrain myself, but i see other people do it and i really want to have a chat with few idiots.
At least it's near the end of the year. I remember Marconnet missing the rugby world cup after breaking his leg on a skiing holiday. *that* was stupid.

this guy is very agressive on twitter, seems he is the same irl.
i hope Sky doesn't pay him a cent while he is injured because of his own stupidity.
Interesting. I checked his posts back to March. Nothing there at all that was aggressive. Did he take your Strava KOM or something ?
I was thinking the same, I can't remember him ever being anything approaching "agressive" [sic] on Twitter. Maybe EnacheV
can provide us with some examples (although I doubt it)
I'm sure Sky would never do anything about it because Rowe is such a force....but you'd imagine he has something in his contract to avoid "extreme" sports*.
*I know he wasn't injured because of the rafting element.
He needs to consult Bertie's doctor. He worked miracles to get Bertie back on his bike to win the 2014 Vuelta after he broke his leg in the Tour
*sideways glance to camera*
Birtie would have swam to the bank . towing the raft behind him . chopped his leg off because it was slowing him down and got back in the raft using his severed leg as a paddle to singlehandedly steer the raft to the finish.
Rode most if not all the cobble classics + MSR
He'll need replaced PDQ if this is a longer term injury
Id have said it was a long term injury, Taylor Phinney was out for a year wasnt he ? so youve got to assume its going to be around a year,but its all about if the tib knits back together again and how much metalwork they have to put in, and then take out again and all the complications that can lead to, and all of that causes soft tissue damage which takes ages to heal, which is why they cant give a timeline yet
Based on the description it is one of those injuries that will mean 12+ months before he can ride well again, if not career ending. He is lucky that it wasn't a compound fracture. At 27 he at least has time on his side, unlike Valverde with his injury in the Tour.

Out in the Balkans, I think.
Sounds like a nasty break, hope he has a speedy recovery with no complications.
Oh the irony.

Hope he wasn't going to feature heavily at Dani and Matt's wedding

I also wondered that......could be euro's though?

How does insurance work for this? I know in rugby and soccer, the pro contracts aren't insured for skiing (or at least weren't)

was his Sky contract up for renewal next year ?
That's what I was thinking.....
Immune system is much more variable than musculoskeletal. No-one is going to recover from a bad break in a few months (except Bertie).
Sucky for him though
Slightly sobering for me too as the rafting trip our guests go on involves a lot of jumping off stuff...

I've been canyoning a few times and you have to just trust that the guy taking you has checked that the water is deep enough...
