This is not a picture I want to see from an athlete during a 10 day stage race 😭😭😭 @heidivolpe is unstoppable!! Stitches, loaner bike ➡️ finished #justfinish #lwathlete 🚴🏻♀️🚴🏻♀️🚴🏻♀️ #Repost @heidivolpe with @get_repost ・・・ Day 3️⃣ Raga to Daporijo. 89km, 4239 m of climbing 🤔 Fresh jungle mud spa, banana leaves the size of skyscrapers. Jubilant children, curious village elders. Day 4️⃣ Daporijo to Basar. 102 km 5059 m of climbing 🤔 Better days. 50 m from the finish line in 2nd position I collided head on with a motorcycle. Knocked out unconscious; surrounded by the villagers until med team arrived. Once I came to in a state of shock and slight confusion walked across the finish to avoid a DNF. Front wheel and frame took most of the impact. Thanking my lucky stars and sending so much love to everyone that helped me. Paid a visit to the army hospital, got a few stitches and antibiotics from all the scrapes. Good to go. Once you begin a stage race, bonds form. I ❤️ how cycling brings people together anywhere in the world. @ninerbikes @lwcoaching @mdarter @celia.ferguson #mtbarunachal #cycling #mountainbike @rajeshthakur @theloamwolf @truckerco_usa (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqm_48XFgQq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hsa8yydcxa11
