Doctors have confirmed that he currently has no sensation from the chest down. His medical team has said it is too early to predict what his long-term recovery will look like. They are waiting to see how his body responds over time.
Right now, the focus is on his rehabilitation. Silva is under medical supervision and starting therapy sessions once doctors approve each step. His team and family are staying close to him through the recovery process.
The freeride community has come together to support him. The Road2Recovery Foundation, a nonprofit that helps injured professional athletes, has launched a fundraiser to cover the cost of Silva’s therapy, travel back to Barcelona, and adaptive home equipment. The foundation confirmed that his recovery will need daily therapy, medical assistance, and modifications to his living space and vehicle to help him move independently again.
Silva’s friends and fans describe him as a rider who never gives up. He has already come back from life-threatening injuries before—a coma and a broken leg earlier in his career. Those who know him believe he will bring that same strength to this recovery too.
Messages of support have flooded his Instagram. Many from the biking world, including fellow riders and brands, have sent their wishes. Several fans are encouraging major sponsors to contribute toward his recovery fund.
For now, Silva’s journey is focused on physical healing and emotional strength. His supporters hope ongoing therapy can help his body regain as much function as possible.
