Vicenzo Albanese suffered a fall in Oliva during his concentration with the team. This has been the reason why Albanese has had to modify his calendar and has not been able to be present at the Challenge. “I’m very sorry because I was in excellent condition to be able to face the first races and now it’s time to rethink everything and postpone it. But these things happen, I know. And I am also sure that I will come back even stronger”, declared Albanese.
The Italian had to go through the hospital, and this week he will have an escan to rule out serious injuries and be able to schedule your return to the bike without running any risk. “The objective is to verify that there is no internal injury and that you can resume cycling. In this case, 15 days will have passed since the fall and you will be able to gradually recover your training. If we see that there is an added problem, you must wait 2 more weeks, always seeking that when he resumes his activity it is already with the maximum guarantees”, affirmed the EOLO KOMETA doctor, Fabián Sanchís.
