Loris Vergier has shared in his Instagram Stories that he slid out during practice ahead of the French Championships this weekend in Les Orres, France and slammed his hand into a stump. The result is what looks to be three broken bones, bringing an end to Vergier's season.

Vergier was in fine form coming into the weekend after winning the final round of the World Cup in Val di Sole by an incredible +3.008 seconds and taking second in the overall despite missing Mont-Sainte-Anne with a shoulder injury.

At the 2021 French Championships, Vergier finished fourth behind Benoit Coulanges, Antoine Vidal and Loic Bruni. He'll have to wait another year to try and secure the red, white, and blue sleeve.

Luckily, there are over eight months until the World Cup DH season kicks off in Lenzerheide June 9-11. We wish Vergier all the best with recovery during the off-season and look forward to seeing him back on track come June.

 Loris talking to the ER doctor: "My hand hit the stump like 'Bu-da-dak-kak-kak'."

 Ya know, if I'm gonna get an x-ray for an injury that ends my season, I too would give the finger in the x-ray.

 Avulsion fractures!!! I had two of those earlier this season slamming my hand into a rock during a crash. Long slow and painful recovery, but you're able to ride through it after a few weeks. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

 He needs handy McAskills custom smooth levers, so if he jams his fingers in there…

 Is Loris secretly a posh English man or does his hand just look like someone drinking a cup of tea...
