Click on the Le Photo link. Somewhat hard to navigate through all of them. After seeing the photo of the guy on the pavement with the airway I think I know why we don’t here the pros complaining about the helmet rule anymore.

My Italian is worse than poor, but it says Alberto Lopez? It is a Spanish team guy not Robbie.

I think he is still in the hospital although it is supposedly nothing “serious”.

Well, not serious if you mean not fatal, but he has some very serious injuries, including a collasped lung and a *#$ed up collar bone/shoulder. He’s still in the hospital, not yet OK enough to be flown to a hospital back near his home in the Basque region.

“…Alberto Lopez de Munain was diagnosed with a hydropneumothorax caused by nine broken ribs, a broken left collar bone, a broken shoulder blade, damage to the left shoulder as well as grazes and cuts to his back, knees and face. He is conscious, in a stable condition and out of immediate danger, as he is getting drainage to improve the hydropneumothorax…” (Ibid.)
