Jo Balls Down and Out for a While

Jo Balls had quite the accident last night and has multiple injuries which will keep him off the bike for a while: a scan revealed 4 broken ribs, bruised T12, bashed lung, lacerations & scrapes. He is in the hopital cantonal in Geneva.

If you want to send him an sms of encouragement and don't have his number, contact me and I will send it to you.

Finally, a huge hats off to every one who helped get Balls off the saléve and to the hospital, especially Old Jo (Papy) who stayed with Balls at the hospital until early this morning.

Meanwhile; everyone ride safe and keep two wheels down!

Lastly, get well soon Balls.
