I don't think there's any cyclist who's never fallen before. I'll make an example of MMA. The great russian Fedor Emelianenko had a perfect fighting record. Well, he lost his last fight. And during his press conference he said: "You need to fall in order to get up. "

Well, I've fell and some of my falls have been pretty hard. The first one is always the most difficult one. So consider it as an experience behind your back, and ride on. Just don't think about it, as it already happened to you. That's how I look at it.
