168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giulio Ciccone has admitted he will have to start his 2024 training from zero after surgery for a nasty ♑saddleౠ sore means he will spend four weeks off the bike.
The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lidl-Trek rider was supposed t🐻o head to altitude at Mount Teide and then target Tirreno-Adriatico in early March. He underwent surgery on Monday and now he is even unsure about riding the Giro d’Italia in May.
as he began his recovery from surgery.
"I'll have to start from zero after such a long peri🅘od off the bike. Everything will take time and when I start training again, I can't go at 100% with a heavy training programme."
Ciccone revealed that he first felt problems in January and h🌄e and Lidl-Trek tried other treatments before surgery became unavoi꧟dable.
"I just couldn't ride my bike. There wa💛s no alternative," Ciccone admitted.
He underwent surgery in Milan with the same surgeon who treated 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fausto Masnada last year. The Soudal-Quick Step rider was out of action for most of the summer and was unabl💎e to help Remco Evenepoel in the Grand Tours but has now made a full recovery.
Ciccone was supposed to lead Lidl-Trek at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia, with Tao Geoghegan Hart and Mattias Skjelmose the team's GC riders for the Tour de France. Ciccone could perhaps return to the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France this su🍬mmer, with Lidl-Trek focusing on stage victories at the Giro d'Italia with sprinter Jonathan Milan.
Ciccone could race again as soon as 🃏April but neither he nor Lidl-Trek want to take any risks.
"I want to make a full recovery and that's why a long period off the bike is needed. Rushing things could be risky," Ciccone, who last June extended his contract w🍌ith Lidl-Trek through the end of thꦇe 2027 season, explained.
"At the moment it's difficult to thin𒁏k about when I'll be back racing. For sure it'll be im⛎possible to get ready for the Giro as I'd planned. For now I want to recover, get back on the bike and then see what happens.
"I don't want to throw away the whole season, I want to achieve something. It's true I've𒈔 got to start from scratch, but there is a long season ahead of us.
"After all the problems I've faced 🥀in recent years, I think I've 'paid' enough. When I get back racing, I want to get some payback for everything I've overcome. I✱ think I deserve it."
