Eddy Merckx and Greg Lemond both came back from potentially life changing injuries at older ages. Egan's physiology will still be broadly the same as it was.

I really hope he comes back strong but he broke, what, 20 bones?

Do you know who else came back from a similar situation and won 7 Tour de France?
Nobody

Me too, but seems to have recovered quickly so who knows? I guess he's had the best treatment available at the very least, which will help.
