| Roche after the crash which forced him to retire from the Critérium du Dauphiné. Not ideal preparation three weeks before the Tour de France! |
Just as he did last year, Nicolas Roche is keeping a daily diary in the Irish Independent following the thrills and spills of the peloton. Check out the first entry.
Here's a snipet from the diary where he descibes his injury after his first race back.
It was my first race back after a crash in the Criterium du Dauphine had left me looking like something you'd see hanging in a butchers window. Battered and bruised, I had cuts running literally from my shin to my finger tips and they're only beginning to heal now. I needed an operation to repair a hole in my elbow and two stitches in my chin. Having banged my head off a concrete road bollard I was in a daze for almost three days afterwards and had to take five days off the bike because I could hardly walk.
He's also keeping a video diary which is basically a brief chat about the previous stage. First video below.
Allez Nico!
