With a renewed focus on the road, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Travis Meyer (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Garmin-Cervélo) had been hoping for a solid year in 2011, however the 21 year-old will instead spend the rest of thꦆe season on the recovery list, having undergone surgeꦗry on his left external iliac artery.

Meyer hasn't raced since the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Bayern-Rundfahrt in late May. The five-time junior world champion on the track had been starting to exper🔯ience a lack of power in his left leg, but at the same time, a lot of pain and general discomfort which was heightened whenever time trialling or climbing.

"The pain in my left leg g💞ot so bad that after about five minutes into a TT I would barely be able to use my left side," Meyer said.

Further investigation revealed that Meyer had a major narrowing of his external il🎃iac artery, which was stopping the blood flow to his leg. It's th💞e same condition suffered by , and he also required surgery.

"I got the surgery done in Lyon on the 8th of June (my birthday) andܫ had to stay in hospital for a week and then in a hotel in Lyon for another five d൩ays before I could get driven back to my apartment in Girona," Meyer explained.

"I have to have a good two months off the bike in order to recover, and then a nice slow progres🌄sion from there. It is quiet a delicate procedure and one which should not be tak💯en lightly. If you over do things to early then it can lead to more serious complications."

Meyer, who has serious potential as a classics rider, walked away from the boards for the 2011 season. He was unable to defend his 2010 Australian road race title (he finished 7th) before going on to ride the Tour Down Under which was won by his brother, Cameron. The Tour of Qatar and Haut Var followed. Meyer then finish♓ed with the main bunch in Kuurne-Brussel-♏Kuurne, before finishing 112th overall at Bayern-Rundfahrt.

"My season is basically over but I am mak🎃ing sure I am fully recovered so that I can hit the 2012 season running and hopefully with two good legs, I can have a better year."
