On Tuttobici they wrote he was near Mendicino, the town of my uncles.I swear he has the worst luck for the Vuelta: hit by a car in a small village in Calabria and he's broken his arm and leg. Pretty serious injury at his age and naturally skips the Vuelta
Anyway he was very unlucky to be there, being in an hospital in Calabria can be even worse than the accident itself, I wonder if he can ask to be taken somewhere else since having a surgery (I've read he needs at least one for the leg) there is like playing the Russian roulette "game".
