Damien Touzé returned to Belgium following a horrendous 60 kph crash during stage 4 of the Tour of Oman, but the Cofidis racer said his career was now on hold and his season over as the battle to recover from his injuries continues.
Touzé, 29, suffered a perforated intestine, ripped spleen and broken knee in the crash and remained in hospital in Oman for 10 days before doctors decided the French pro had recovered enough to be put on a flight back to Europe. During that time, he's had two operations and lost 10 kilos in weight.
