On the descent, coming into Carros Village, I had just bunny-hopped the speed bump and slowed down to 29.3 mph coming into the hairpin that's in the middle of the village when someone slammed into me from behind with tremendous force. We both hit the deck. I was laying on my back screaming "F**K" over and over again. I could not really move, or even crawl off the road. The guy who hit me came over and repeated twice something like "You moved over" and then he got on his bike and continued the race.
Im just back from the hospital. I can't walk (or even really sit) and am in extreme pain in my ribs and my hip/pelvis, but apparently I'm in pretty good shape, considering. May be a minor pelvis fracture that often does not turn up in imaging, but nothing to do about that anyway. Ribs are excruciating.
Would love to hear about it from someone who witnessed it, if any of those people see this.
