Hey, and what a nice photo that you got.  And with lots of nice Nikon yellow as well.

Good luck with your recoveries - may they be both swift and and complete.

Many thanks Thomas and Hugh - I was a bit shattered last night but slept like a marmot and feel like biking today … so all good

Today I went to the French part of Switzerland by train to photograph Tadej Pogacar at the Tour de Romandie. Glad it finally worked out despite some hurdles. In the morning I cycled from the Train Station to the Start place and was in midst the security motorbikes - tried a one handed video with my handy and fell over at a bump in the street. There's no better place to crash than a pro race. So off to the para medic to get the wounds sorted. Then I knocked at the Tudor Pro Racing team bus door and asked the mechanic if he would please repair my bike which he gladly did. Then off to the arrival location to get this picture. Luckily my two cameras in the backpack survived the crash
On the train home the shoulder and fingers got more and more sore so that I decided to visit the hospital for a check-up.
A luxated finger, another finger (camera release finger) with chipped bone and the shoulder needs further exams by MRI.

Great shot despite the malheur, Daniel.  Get well soon !

Quite the 'Hals-und Beinbruch' story, get well!

Dangerous age we seem to be in, feeling youth/fully but truthfully are not 28 anymore ... next time try a salto on a skateboard maybe?
All the best
