seems odd 4-6 weeks, when Albarado missed about 3 months with same injury.

well, all heel fractures aren't the same. the doctor we used said he had another operation after my husbands on a guy who had broken both heels when he fell off a roof.
he said it 'looked like gravel in there'.
so, there's a fracture, fractures....and then there's gravel!
so, altho a busted heel is no picnic, the less fractures the better obviously. gomez is over a foot shorter,and well over a hundred pounds lighter than my husband. i doubt anyone heard his pop when he fell, like i did when tony jumped down off the truck....

see that gomez is finally coming back this weekend. two months off, but the doctor cleared him.
a plate and ten screws. he'll always know when the barometric pressure changes.

so gomez rode one race friday but pain was greater than he had expected. said he was going to give it another week to see how it goes.

in other news, pedroza given 7 days to reflect on his ride the day after the big 'cap:
