Now this story about two broken vertebrae appears a bit weird…
Can you break two vertebrae at the beginning of July, and still start to win a three week bike race from mid August on? Isn‘t this too early?
Is his Vuelta start unhealthy or even dangerous? Wouldn‘t it have been better to skip the Vuelta?
Or were the vertebrae not even fractured? I don‘t know what to believe. I hope everything works well now.
Speeding with 60 km/h in a TTT through Utrecht, possibly in the rain, is never the safest thing. Five weeks after a back fracture - I don‘t know if it is smart. Time will tell.
The next questionmark is his shape. Normally, after these last five weeks, he might have no chance against these strong opponents who‘ve had a perfect preparation. Maybe Primoz shall just get one full GT in 2022 into his legs, maybe that‘s the plan?…
