Steve Morabito's shoulder (via YouTube).jpgSteve Morabito yanks dislocated shoulder back into place and finishes stage of Tour Down Under
“I was just looking behind, calling the car for having some bottles, and I was in the air and I did a flip. I was on the floor, my shoulder dislocated and it was quite painful.” Steve Morabito therefore did what most of us wouldn’t and popped it back in again himself.
The Swiss rider says he’s dislocated his shoulder two or three times before and he was sufficiently unfazed by this latest experience that he was able to complete stage two of the Tour Down Under.
He told Cycling News that he waved medics away in the immediate aftermath of his crash, because he knew what to do.
“I did it by myself. The guys behind in the ambulance don’t want to do it, I know how to do it and so I did it by myself with the help of my team.
“I grabbed my handlebar and some guys were keeping my bike straight and I just pushed a little bit the shoulder and it came in. It was really painful before and when it’s come in it’s again ok.”
Cyclist are hard as f ***k just look at @steve_morabito popping his shoulder back in place and finishing the stage. Hope u are alright

He didn’t start stage three, however. He had trouble putting on a T-shirt, so he’s going to take a few days off the bike.
Alex has written for more cricket publications than the rest of the road.cc team combined. Despite the apparent evidence of this picture, he doesn't especially like cake.

My 2 Favorite sports are full of hard men, Glasgow Warriors v Munster a few years ago, real tough man (Sean Lamont) just pops his shoulder back in, to top it all the penalty goes against him for the poor tackiling technique.

I had this papercut once, couldnt ride for weeks
Did the 3 Peaks the other year and on the Whernside descent saw my mate Ed Burkitt on the side of the trail. “Are you okay Ed?!”
“Yeah be alreet lad, just popping my shoulder back in” was the response. Top lad, hard as nails
I know a guy who raced Cycle Speedway, his shoulder popped every time he fell off (a weekly occurrence), disconcerting seeing him pop it back in but once the rotator cuff is stretched you need an op to fix it, which he had 18 months later
Pfft...
Many years ago i came a cropper coming down a rock strewn path on my belowved but useles Gary Fisher Joshua x. Hit shoulder hard and it dislocated. It hurt. Popped it back in. Felt much better. Strangely no issues for 25 years until last year when it popped out again and now is a little loose. I must do something about it.
