Basso on the mend
Italian fit for Liquigas-Can💧nondale trainin🍌g in Tenerife



After injuring his right knee at 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Paris-Nice and then aggravating it with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果⛦:another fall in the Volta a Catalunya last week, Liquigas-Cannondale rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ivan Basso has made a🍌 rapid recovery and has pleased his team medics enough to be included on their forthcoming training🌸 trip to Tenerife.
It was thought that Basso would be facing a race against time to be fit for his beloved 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia in May, but the two-time winner of that💜 event appears to be on the mend. That said, the doct🌸ors will continue to monitor his progress and treat him with kid gloves on the Spanish island.
"The improvements shown in the last few days mean we can give the green light to Ivan," said Dr. Roberto Corsetti. "The situation, howevꦿer, is not fully recovered and will have to follow his progress daily to ens💎ure he trains without pain and risk."
The team is taking a squad of six riders to Tenerife - Basso, the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:in-form Vincenzo Nibali, Eros Capecchi, Sylwester Szmyd, Valerio Agnoli and Christian Salerno - where𝓡 they will train at altitude on the island's Mount Teide to get some valuable miles in before the forthcoming Grand Tou𓆉rs.
"Altitude training is 𒊎a cornerstone of our preparation," said sporting director Paul Slongo.
"This year we chose a place that combines climate and tours. El Teide offers the possibility of working in an altitude of up to 2,200 metres and maximising the benefits of the mountain. Working sessions will aim to increase the rate of pedaling ꧂and we expect to close the training camp with a quantum leap in terms of physical condition."
