Gerry Ryan must be a happy camper at the moment. Great start by them, and the surprise is different wins than what they expected, and was expected of them !!!

From the GE FB page.MichaelB wrote:Was it femur or tibia/fibula ?
Poor bugger. Broke his shoulder at their training camp
Team Doctor Peter Barnes visited Julian Dean at the hospital in Valencia on Sunday, the day before his was discharged, and he had this to say:
Julian has a fracture at the head (top end) of the fibula and a displaced fracture of the lateral (outer) part of the upper part of the tibia with the fracture line extending to the knee joint. This is obviously a direct impact to the lateral aspect of the left knee.
Surgery on March 23, put the fractured tibial fragment back into place, and it’s now held in position with a titanium plate and eight screws. The fractured fibula was not significantly displaced and did not require specific treatment.
Julie’s leg will be immobilized in a back slap for ten days after which moving the knee joined will be permitted to minimized stiffness and muscle wasting.
Julian was in good spirits, all things considered, but is realistic about his recovery and fitness – having done this before. I estimate that he may be ready to start gentle cycling on a trainer around the three week mark. Healing of fracture will still take up to eight weeks to get solid.
Julian’s wife Carole has been updating his personal blog. You can read more details here: http://www.juliandean.co.nz/diary.php
