Yesterday news broke that Alejandro Valverde had been hit by a car whilst training near his home in Murcia. He and two training partners were hit by a driver who fled the scene, however luckily consequences were not too bad.
Valverde shared on social media a message saying "I want to thank you all for the support and affection I have received. Fortunately, I was just very shocked and I'm fine". He has in the meantime already returned home, with confirmation of only minor injuries that didn't require further medical attention.
The driver, 69 years old, has been arrested, having turned himself in to the authorities. According to witnesses the hit-and-run was purposeful, after the riders reacted angrily when he initially drove by the group - having afterwards hit the three riders with the vehicle.

But it's no poisonous since you breathe it everyday. You get too much water in your lungs and you ALSO die of asphyxiation. But tell me, other than bonding with hemoglobin what is deadly about carbon monoxide?Sweep13-11-2024
- No, it's not poisonous. You breath it in every single day of your life. If you live in a dense city you breath in 10X what a rural person breathes. It kills you by asphyxiation. You breathe in water and it also kills you by asphyxiation. Poisoning is a misnomer. You drink too much water and that kills you also. Is water poisonous?Sweep13-11-2024
- Different eras, different equipment, wildly different training with nearly robot-like nutrition requirements, and so on. The thing you can compare is the relative success of riders against their rivals. Maybe it’s fine to just say they stand above the rest of their generation, and be happy with that.RidesHills13-11-2024

- Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is poisonous and flammable. It is produced when carbon-containing fuels like gasoline, natural gas, or wood are not completely burned. CO is a common hazard in the home and the leading cause of poisoning deaths in the United States.awp13-11-2024
- Eddy also rode a 23 lb bike whereas Tadej has a 15 lb one. Also new insights into training and selecting races rather than racing 11.5 months a year like Eddy used to do.MrCampy13-11-2024
