Adrien Dailly has announced on social media that he broke his foot at last weekend's opening round of the EWS.
The French rider was just coming back from a
dislocated shoulder last month but now his racing plans are on hold after a big crash broke his foot. Any injury is tough for riders at the start of the race season but two dislocated shoulders and a broken foot in the space of one month is a pretty tough start to racing.
| Big crash yesterday I broke my foot, I couldn’t finish the race. The tracks are sick here I hope to come back! 2 times dislocated shoulder and 1 broken foot in one month it’s not the best way to start a season…— Adrien Dailly |
We wish Adrien all the best with his recovery and hope he is back on the bike soon.
....But I do see what you are trying to say. I am the same way. I get hurt all of the time not that, bad but still.
i purchased an EVS SB03 brace (www.evs-sports.com/products/sb03-shoulder-support). it seems to help keep the shoulder centered in the socket to avoid impingement, but i doubt it's going to do much if you crash. it is reasonably priced and seems decent quality, just be aware that it runs small. i'm a slim 6'/170 pounds and usually wear medium shirts/armour, and the medium was a bit too small for me even with the adjustable straps maxed out. large fits well, so you might want to size up.
i also looked at the leatt brace, seems decent but read a few reviews that said it was overly restrictive and it was 2x as expensive, so i thought i would try EVS first.
