Everyone at Wideopenmag is sending Loris Vergier’s mechanic P.A. major healing vibes after he broke his L1 vertabrae in a riding crash on Sunday.

The good news is that the L1 break has not affected his ability to walk, so we would like to wish P.A. a speedy recovery.

Unfortunately I had a really bad crash on Sunday… I managed to break my L1 vertebrae (type chance) and other really superficial. Also lost vision for 5 minutes. They got me in surgery in priority. Docs manage to do an awesome job. Just able to walk again really slowly. It will be a long recovery. Can’t thank enough everyone that was here for me on Sunday. And all the amazing messages from all of you guys.
