Kreuziger withdraws from Worlds road race
Czech's wrist💖 not fully healed from Tou𒀰r de France crash
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Roman Kreuziger announced today that he has withdrawn from the UCI Road World Championship to be contested in Copenhagen, Denmark on Sunday. The 25-year-old Czech is still recovering from a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:double microfracture in his left wristꦕ suffered during a crash in stage 7 of the Tour de France, an injury which wasn't diagnosed🌸 until after he had finished the Tour.
While he hasn't competed since the Tour, Kreuziger was ple♑ased with recent training sessions and hopefu𒈔l that he would return to racing at the world championships, but he decided the risk of re-injury was too great.
"We have evaluated the circuit and it is very technical and therefore dangerous," he ꦬsaid on his website. "The world championships is also a race with a lot of falls and it would be a great risk of injury if I start the race. If I fell I would have to start my treatme🥂nt again from the beginning. I have suffered with it enough and I don't want it to happen again.
"I will continue to train with a splint for two weeks and we will do a further examination in Italy with the team doctor. Based on the results I will dec♚ide if I will race in October at Emilia and Lombardy. If there are any problems I will e💙nd my season."
Kreuziger kept in regular contact with the Czech national team coach Ren🥀é Andrle and he was grateful for the support.
"We were in daily contact. He knew about my problems and I thank him that he waited this long. I do not know if they will be able to have a sub for me or not🎃, but until the last moment I believed that I could start."
The Astana rider's season had been highlighted by a sixth place overall finish and first in the best young rider classification at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia plus a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:stage win in the Giro del Trentino.
