The doctor checked me and he was very very happy, he was saying that this<br \/>\nisn\u2019t normal, a collarbone recovery can usually take more than eight weeks. He<br \/>\nwas pretty surprised at my situation, I am super human,&#8221; Abrahamsen said.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old\u2019s optimism, perhaps bolstered by adrenaline,<br \/>\nperhaps by sheer physical freakishness, seems to have been matched by his<br \/>\nphysiological response. While most collarbone fractures, particularly those<br \/>\naffecting the shaft or central area of the bone, would rule out a rider for<br \/>\nweeks, his break occurred at the end of the bone. That made all the difference.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I managed to get back outside to ride my bike very<br \/>\nquickly, I\u2019ve been so lucky that it was the end of the bone, not the middle,\u201d<br \/>\nhe explained. \u201cAt the Tour I will try to get in the breakaway again now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abrahamsen has been a breakout name for Uno-X over the past<br \/>\n18 months, and his performances at the 2024 Tour de France, where he featured<br \/>\nheavily in breakaways, earned him widespread praise. That made 2025 a clear<br \/>\ntarget from early on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Tour de France has been the biggest goal for me<br \/>\nsince the start of last November. I\u2019ve trained hard every day to be good for<br \/>\nthis moment,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was such a shit time to then crash in Belgium, but<br \/>\nthat\u2019s cycling sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The crash came at an awful moment, and with only a short<br \/>\nrecovery window, Abrahamsen admitted his chances looked slim. \u201cI did not then<br \/>\nhave much hope of being able to go to the Tour but every day since then has<br \/>\nbeen fast, I\u2019ve got better and better which is crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a lot of strong guys, sprinters and others,<br \/>\nbut if I can get in the breaks again then I will for sure try,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe I\u2019m a super hero,\u201d he joked. \u201cIt\u2019s not very<br \/>\noften that stuff like this happens and you recover quickly so maybe my body is<br \/>\ndifferent. I think having positivity in this situation is important, you should<br \/>\nnever give up when injured.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The recovery, he insists, wasn\u2019t a miracle, at least not<br \/>\nentirely. It was grounded in consistency and control.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrust yourself and your body and the rest will come. I eat<br \/>\nhealthy, I did everything perfect with training, eating and sleeping so<br \/>\nanything was possible for me in the end.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; Abrahamsen revealed to Cycling Weekly that he was assessed by a specialist in Manchester, whose reaction to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":228520,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4104],"tags":[4230,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-228519","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cycling","8":"tag-cycling","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114776412289370658","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
