Pre-race
“I have been nine days without cycling following my crash during training in Spain which resulted in a concussion. I started to ride again gradually. I still had headaches at the beginning, which then disappeared gradually, and I started to ride intensively again last week. In any case, if I take part in a race it is with the aim of doing the maximum, otherwise I prefer not to line up at the start”.
