That does not look good. Maybe once you get it into a stand and carefully remove the derailleur and gently realign the hanger you will be fine. The rear der pully cage can probably be bent back into shape. Issue is probably trusting it. Hope things work out. Glad you were not hurt. Thanks,

Haha! You can indeed be shocking. My point is that the Platy is not really a club rider. It can be made to be closer to one but you don't have it decked out that way. If I was going to use it for fast rides I would lose the fenders and racks, go to light drops with brifters, even lighter wheels
