Editor’s note: This article, on the individual variability and treatment of traumatic brain injuries in sport, originally appeared in the December 2012 issue of Velo, The Danger Issue. The concussion assessment graphic was adapted from a chart created by Medicine of Cycling.

The physical abilities of professional cyclists are hard to fathom. Many riders will have nearly a hundred race days in one season, not counting the thousands of training miles they will log. Crashes happen. Usually they’re minor, but too often, they can be deadly serious.
