Stuey "HtFU" O'Grady will miss the rest of the spring

by Christopher See on Mar 23, 2009 3:02 AM EDT

Stuey O, everyones favorite hardman, has been told that he is done for the classics season. His crash 29 KM into Milan San Remo has cost him dearly. The early diagnosis of bruises has been updated to a fractured rib [edit], collar bone and an edema between the lung and ribs, which required surgery. The surgery appears successful, but further invasive work may be required. Although the injuries are being down played, the earliest the Aussie speedster might be able to return is 30 days. Full details here at Cyclingnews.com and here at Team Saxo Bank.

It's a fractured Rib not Hip...probably typo, but such different injuries..

And yes i’m upset that I won’t get to see my SexyBank boy riding the cobbles.. Get well Stuey and hoping for a quick recovery..

My question is who is going to replave him in April??

On a good note for SexyBank, JJ Haedo won the GP Cholet.. Some good news finally.

Now to get to Europe and bring those SexyBank boys some goodluck …HaHa

umm yeah I'll fix that..

It better explains the edema… it’s what I get for reading in the early am after a long shift.

Very odd feeling. It's a strange kind of impotent rage

…probably best expressed by the statement: “Just Not effing FAIR!”

sigh

It did strike me as odd, when the first report came out stating ‘no fractures, all good’. … Now hang on, Stuey abandoned and was carted off in an ambulance. STUEY abandoned. This is Stuey we’re talking about here. Mr Finish-the-stage-with-a-fractured-clavicle-‘Well-my-legs-weren’t-broken-were-they?’ O’Grady.

Bugger. Just bugger.
