Jay Vine, a cyclist with UAE Team Emirates-XRG, experienced a life-threatening accident that left him with multiple fractured vertebrae last year. Despite the severity of his injuries, Vine made a remarkable recovery, expressing his gratitude for being able to return to cycling. Initially focused on competing in the Giro d'Italia, his priorities shifted following the accident. He began riding again just four months post-crash, eventually participating in major competitions, winning stages, and even celebrating the birth of his son, which contributed positively to his comeback story.
Vine started off riding uphill and then ultimately progressed to pinning on a number again, just a little more than four months after the career-threatening crash.
"I was disappointed that I didn't get to do that with Tadej, but after the accident, I mean, every day was sort of like a blessing."
"I'm the luckiest unlucky person around, with the way that whole accident played out in the end - being able to first walk, then ride, then race again."
