Australian cycling star Jay Vine has revealed he feared he'd never walk or 'play with my kids' again as he took his first steps in recovery from a 'scary' accident in Spain.
Vine remains hospitalised after the crash, which also took down reigning Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard and double world champ Remco Evenepoel at the Itzulia Basque Country race last week.
Vine, 28, suffered a fractured skull and vertebrae in his high-speed spill into a roadside concrete ditch and his wife Bre, also a former cyclist who is pregnant with their first child, said it was a 'miracle' he wasn't injured more badly.
After a 'scary' period of uncertainty about his future, Vine said he had started walking in his hospital room in Spain and had avoided long-term damage, but his recovery would be a 'long road'.
