Hi everyone \ud83d\udc4b I just wanted to let you know you I had a pretty bad crash last Thursday during a training session in one of my favorite track. To be quick, I broke my cervical vertebrae C5 and C6, got a compaction at my dorsal vertebrae D4 and D5 and had a concussion. I had a surgery in Nice Hospital the same day. I\u2019ll have to wear a corset and a neck brace for several weeks and I can\u2019t estimate my return on the bike yet but I know I was lucky and that\u2019s the most important thing. Thanks to @peferry and @gaetan_vige, who helped me after my crash and thanks to Cedric to bring my mother’s homemade compote every day to the hospital. Ride for me and see you on a bike in a few months \u270c\ufe0f — Salut tout le monde, Je souhaite simplement vous avertir que j\u2019ai lourdement chut\u00e9 jeudi dernier en m\u2019entra\u00eenant pr\u00e8s de chez moi. Je me suis fractur\u00e9e les cervicales C5 et C6 en plus d\u2019avoir eu un tassement des vert\u00e8bres D4 et D5 et de me faire une commotion c\u00e9r\u00e9brale. J\u2019ai rapidement \u00e9t\u00e9 transport\u00e9e \u00e0 Nice pour me faire op\u00e9rer et je d\u00e9marre une longue convalescence. Je vais devoir porter un corset ainsi qu\u2019une minerve pour plusieurs semaines donc je ne peux pas estimer mon retour sur le v\u00e9lo pour le moment mais je sais que j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 chanceuse. Merci \u00e0 @peferry et @gaetan_vige qui \u00e9taient pr\u00e9sents pour me secourir et \u00e0 C\u00e9dric pour m\u2019apporter la compote fait maison de ma m\u00e8re tous les jours \u00e0 l\u2019h\u00f4pital. Roulez pour moi et \u00e0 dans quelques mois sur un v\u00e9lo \ud83d\udeb2 #coupdurdanslavilla #racinglife #vivelacompote<\/a><\/p>\n
