Landa found to have also fractured rib, but expects quick recovery
Spanish Movistar rider crashed at Clasica San Sebastian and fractured verte🍌bra
The injuries sustained by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mikel Landa (Movistar) in his crash at last Saturday's168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Clasica San Sebastian are slightly worse then previously thought, but the Spaniard's tea🌊m is nevertheless hoping that he 🙈will recover quickly.
Landa was involved in the same high-speed crash that took Team Sky's෴ꦬ Egan Bernal out of the race, and was initially diagnosed wiജth what Movistar confirmed was "a non-displaced fracture of the spinous process of the lumbar vertebra L1".
However, in addition to the fractured vertebra, further tests ꦡhave revealed that Landa has also fractured a rib, although it's not expected to prolong his recovery time.
After undergoing an ultr🧜asound on Wednesday, Landa was found to have "a non-displaced rib fracture on his right-hand side", according to a team press release.
"Under careful monitoring from the Telefónica-backed squad's medical staff and attention from Javier Barrio, head doctor of the Deportivo Alavés football club, anꦜd traumatologist Mikel Sánchez, Landa is following various exercises of breathing mechanics and strengthening of the injured areas, in order to reduce inflammation, ease pain and ultimately fuse ꦡthe fractures," the team said.
"Mikel remains in good spirits and optimistic towards his g✅oal of recovering completely and as quickl🐽y as possible," it added.
Landa finished seventh overall at the recent 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France, and it was 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:orig🍰inally hop൲ed that he might be able to recover from the crash at San Sebastian to still race at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Vuelta a España, which starts in Malaga on August 25. Although the disco💯very of the broken rib isn't expected to prolong his recovery time, Landa's long♐ period off the bike must surely count against him being ready, and indeed fit enough, to race.
