“The happiest day of my life,” writes Egan Bernal after his first bike ride since that brutal fall in training.
The Colombian mountain goat collided with a parked bus during a descent 2 months ago.
The medical bulletin: a fractured spine, a fracture to his right femur, a fracture to his right kneecap, a chest trauma, a perforated lung and several broken ribs.
Bernal went under the knife several times, needed a cane to move around, but 2 weeks ago threw his legs on the rollers.
Yesterday, the 25-year-old Colombian made his first road bike ride. And so Bernal is quietly working on his comeback.
