The chef also added before and after shots. It start’s with him looking happy behind his green Specialized Roubaix SL8. It ends with a photo of the smashed back of his helmet and a torn jersey. The caption again urged riders to wear a helmet, saying his likly saved his life.
“I’m lucky to be standing here,” Ramsay said in his video, adding “I’m in pain, it’s been a brutal week.”
