Cycling Injuries @ 2014 Tour de France

July 9, 2014/in Physical Therapy /by badams

It has been a crazy first few days at the tour, with record crowds in England and some excellent racing. But it hasn’t come without a price.

For those out there that believe cycling injuries are merely the result of overuse, ill-timed training or poor fit, think again. Two big names in the peloton are out of the tour already, and headed to the operating room. Both are due to crashes. Some will argue that they were preventable (reckless sprinting and intruding spectators)…but the fact remains that traumatic/catastrophic injuries will occur.

Mark Cavendish

Sprinting specialist. High speed crash resulting in separated AC joint in his shoulder. Headed for surgery to stabilize. Out for 6 weeks.

Andy Schleck

Tour Overall Contender. Benign fall after the peloton scuffled with a fan taking a picture. Headed to surgery to repair and debride the tissues in his knee. Out of the Tour, unknown prognosis.

With all of the injuries, it’s no surprise that the Tour organizers/jury have pulled 2 cobble sections out of today’s stage to increase the safety for the cyclists.  http://bit.ly/1swo62v

Best of luck to the remaining participants!

Weekdays get tricky sometimes. And injuries happen Weekdays get tricky sometimes. And injuries happen late in the week, and it’s not always convenient or ideal to wait until the following week. 

Call and set up your appointment time for PT evaluation, follow up or consultation visits, along with appointments to optimize your recovery: Normatec/@normatec_anz , AlterG/ @alterginc unweighting treadmill, or a sports massage.
