The dream of facing the North with professionals for Jacopo Mosca broke into the first stage of Three Days of La Panne.
The neo-professional of Wilier Triestina Selle Italia fell together with other colleagues, got up and arrived at the finish line, but the radiographs showed the fracture of the left radial cap.
The 23-year-old from Piedmont, who relies on Olgiate Olona’s Mapei Sport Research Center since he was junior, was in good shape and had race Milan-Sanremo. Unfortunately, the crasch stopped him from participating in the Flanders Tour he had planned. With Andrea Morelli, head of the Laboratory of Analysis of the Movement and Cycling Industry, has not lost his mind and is defining his path of recovery from the accident.
«Back home from Belgium I immediately mounted on the rollers waiting for the operation to reduce the fracture, which I submitted on April 5th to the Torino Clinic. With Andrea and Matteo Azzolini, with whom I have a daily contact, we have studied a training schedule. I submit myself to two roller sessions a day and from yesterday I have taken up the gym that I will carry forward for two-three weeks not to lose strength, which at this time I can not exercise with specific work. The doctors told me that in a matter of ten days I should regain elbow mobility, optimistically at Easter I will be able to go back on the road» he said, pointing out that Mapei Sport specialists will play a key role in recovering from the accident.
«I have been entrusted with this qualified center since I was 17, at the time of the junior team Biringhello and under 23 Viris. From this year, with the transition to professionalism, I am individually followed by 200%. Thanks to Mapei Sport I improved my bike position and I’m learning a lot. Andrea and Azzolini explain to me why one day I have to train in a certain way, because that other I have to rest and so on. I appreciate their approach to work, making me more aware of what I do».
