Good call on the monochrome look. Arms make bad brakes. It was a crazy course this year, and I've seen way too many images of broken cyclists. California can be beautiful and brutal at the same time. Get rested and heal. California will be there when you're ready, and the weather is better after June.
I've heard some people say "there's no such thing as a bad day on a bike". I think you've sufficiently disqualified that statement. Wishing you a speedy recovery with no lingering ailments.
Dear Francis, i watch your vlog on a regular basis an i am a sub. But i did not feel the need to comment on a single video of you. But, this time i want to wish you the best of luck on a speedy recovery. cheers Jörg
Title wasn't even clickbait! Dude! High FIVE! Wait... make that a careful high five. All the best with the recovery... can I interest you in an ergo or 50? ;)
I know how maddening it is to be immobile when you’re used to always staying busy, but give your body the rest it needs to heal dude. Everyone will be here when you return. Sorry to see you like this, but thanks for keeping everyone updated.
Your videos bring me so much joy that I booked a trip to bike all of Kansas in June. Hope you have a speedy recovery and come back stronger then before! Much love from Texas!
Francis, I have watched all you’re videos for the past 18 months, you inspired me to get on a bike. This week I lost a total of 9 stone. Seeing you down and in this spot is sad, but you’re an inspirational individual, don’t forget that, it’s going to be a mentally tough few weeks for you.
Really hope u feel better quickly, currently nursing a track bike collar bone break myself so know how frustrated you must be feeling. Thanks for the great videos, get well soon and don’t try and do too much too soon.
Francis, feel ya. Last summer chipped my elbow as I was beginning my summer which was to end with a trip to Spain. In the end all was well best fitness, best time on trip.
Aw Francis :/ sucks to see you like this. Wishing you a really fast and smooth recovery, you've got this man. We'll see you back smashing it on the bike and the guitar solos in no time.
Hope you start to feel better soon and have a speedy recovery, man. It’s got to be maddening to have both arms in a state, but chin up. Lot of random internet folks are sending good vibes your way.
I feel your pain man! 12 months ago I broke both my arms in a bike crash and has surgery on my right. Before you know it you will be looking back on the bike amazed at how resilient the body is and loving cycling more than ever! Get well soon!
Mate so sorry to hear of your crash, rest up, get better, then worry about the Vlog, we’ll all still be here 😃 Thanks for all the great content, its been a treasure.
So sorry to hear Francis. I totally sympathize with you. If its any consolation, I broke my C2 vertebrate in cycling race last August and had to have emergency surgery to install a 40mm screw in my neck. 16 weeks in a neck brace following the surgery but I was back on the trainer despite doctors orders a month after the accident. Stay positive and look for support from the people around you. Without my wife and two beautiful daughters, recovery would have been much harder. Cheers man and I'm sure you'll be riding, racing and posting videos very soon :)
I was at the red hook crit that day and your friend told me what happened, I was shocked to find out about your accident. Sorry Francis wishing you a speedy recovery and everything goes well while you're recovering.
Have to say I respect you for not instantly posting up the GoPro footage that would undoubtedly get you millions of views. If it was someone else's fault they're going to be feeling bad enough as it is. Gnarly crash bro, speedy recovery.
All the best Francis! I had plan a 4 days cycling long weekend and downhill crashed 10 minutes into the first ride... Nothing more frustrating than not being able to do what we like! Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Smart trainer and Zwift, that's what I did when I separated my shoulder in an MTB crash just before Christmas, highly recommend it ... speedy recovery to you.
Thanks for taking the time to upload this, seen some of the other vlogers vids and have been hoping you where ok, best of luck with the recovery and hope you get well soon and get back on the bike asap
Frequently watching subscriber and felt compelled to wish you well, sympathize with your predicament and encourage you to see this as an opportunity to speak to other injured cyclists and coping mechanisms you might learn through this journey. Quick and complete healing to you my friend.
I knew that this video was coming when I saw you in other u/l's vids. At a time like this, I know from my own experiences that you come to realize & appreciate the family & friends that you have in your life that we all take for granted sometimes...to be there for you in a time like this. Get well soon Francis. Pain is only temporary & the spirit is strong & willing...better days are ahead mate, cheers.
Sorry to see you like this Francis, I know how it feels, one minute you are Mr Invincible, the next you are brought down to earth with a bang! Top tip which I learned whilst recovering, DON'T RUSH recovery! that's from a sports physio in London who worked on my knee and shoulder. All the best and chill out to some soothing tunes whilst you get back to fitness. Peter
Following you on a regular basis. Wondered why there wasn't a video after the race but now I know. I've had all types of bruises, aprains, broken bones and even lost a finger but I couldn't imagine breaking both arms, thousands of miles away in a foreign country. Best of luck and get well soon .
Hey man, don’t let this bring you down. You’ll be good! Rest up, your come back will be better than ever! It’s gonna be hard to wipe your ass and shower. I know this from personal experience, I broke both my arms skating and had cast up to my shoulder for 3 months!
balleur you have clearly not seen Juliet Elliot’s video or anyone else that was at red hook. I’ve been waiting on a video from him to see that he was ok and what his diagnosis was you idiot
So good to see you back on screen, really strange not to have a new brill video everyday! look after yourself and take it easy - easier said than done I know!
I feel sad cos I have fked up both my legs on a cycle crash and I feel fking both up both hands is harder than it happening to me legs. Heal and come back stronger Francis. THANKS TO LAWRENCE ALSO!!!
So gutted for you to crash like that a rhc! Wishing you a speedy recovery so you can get back on your bike and get back to vlogging! I watch your vlogs as often as you upload. Will have to sift thru past vlogs to watch the few that I may have missed. Fyi, I’ve broken my scaphoid on my right and left arms as well as my left elbow but only one break at a time. Bones heal pretty quickly though! Cheers!
had broken scapiod bone in the left. was on the bike after 6 weeks but couldn´t handle any big load on the wrist. count another 6 weeks of rehab on top. good luck!
The same thing happened to me months back. I managed to keep my arms whole, but I broke ribs and collapsed a lung. Months ago, and I still feel it, but I'm also much, much older than you. I know you will bounce back well, Francis.
We've missed you Francis and have been concerned. I/we heard mention of your crash in videos by Juliet and Levi. Please take your time and nail the recovery. All the best to you my good man.
Francis, you are THE MAN. Hope those upgrades on the Pain killers work magic for you.
cheers for shooting!
Top man Lawrence!

Shane Miller - GPLama someone needs to give Zwift a nudge cause the boy has some spare time... 6 weeks is enough time to get the Tron bike!
I know how maddening it is to be immobile when you’re used to always staying busy, but give your body the rest it needs to heal dude. Everyone will be here when you return. Sorry to see you like this, but thanks for keeping everyone updated.
Matt Hayman won Roubaix after breaking his arm. You can do it, Francis! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Your videos bring me so much joy that I booked a trip to bike all of Kansas in June. Hope you have a speedy recovery and come back stronger then before! Much love from Texas!
