Me & Cav

Broken ribs and a collapsed lung - I’ve had that outcome from 2 separate crashes.

Interesting journalism.

It says Cav's injuries were treated with medication. LOL.
Pain medication!?. They don't typically treat a pneumo with just medication. Been there, done that, also. If that is true, they must be talking about a lung puncture so minor that it sealed itself??? Maybe Cav had some Stan's inside his lungs?

Kinda reads like no drain was needed.

It does indeed sound like Cav missed out on a lovely chest tube. However, they likely gave him one of those devices you inhale thru a mouthpiece to raise the piston inside the cylinder. Those things are painful when your lung is punctured. What do they call those ? S-something-meter??

I hope you never need the upgraded Voldyne 9000. ;)

Like Contador, Cav is a rider I was always MEH about, yet felt different last years of careers some how manifesting a modicum of adoration..

Well, it seems that all the issues he's had in recent years have helped him transform from a self-important, reckless, douche back to his original mode of being stunned and grateful for every result he gets. As much as I disliked him for years, I have to say that he's apparently back to being a respectable human being.

That said, I still don't want him to break Merckx's stage win record, unless he does it in a TT or a climbing stage. It just seems wrong to lose the record to a one-trick-pony.

Yeah, Merckx had a lot of solo mountain stage wins. So the 'comparative' maybe not so fair of one...

In my mind, it's not even close. Merckx could do it all and didn't need to be sheltered and shepherded to the end of a stage in order to win. The only one I can think of in today's peloton who's got that versatility is Wout Van Aert (another Belgian, of course).
