Life is not fair man

No fracture, only a contusion. Will he be ready for milano torino?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Too bad about the crash. Would have been fantastic to see him battle with Pidcock for second in a perfect world. Now we have to wait a bit.

Highly likely he will miss both Milano Torino and Coppi e Bartali.

Any update about his condition?

Not in the roster for tomorrows race

Notorious Youtuber 'Cycling Highlights' noting how he found a temporary alleviation from his financial woes by betting on Christian Scaroni in early-season 1.1 races, until of course the bookies got-wise to the Italians cycling prowess.

Anyway here is an interview with him, he looks ok but had to take a bit of time off, and will be targeting the Ardennes races then the Giro I believe.

 

[danielzu]

Still not riding tomorrow. He will have no preparation for the ardenne classics. Lets see whether he will have a chance to compete for top 10 under that circumstances

 

[SafeBet]

Despite missing altitude training before the Giro, his shape is improving as the race goes on exactly like last year.
Tomorrow is probably his best shot at a stage win. Whatever happens, it's nice to see him regaining his early season level.

 

[KZD]

Huge win for him today and for Astana.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

My slovenian son is crying tears of joy

For once the crap, 'getting carried away' predictions based on things that happen at Challenge Mallorca are paying off. It's a black day for anyone saying we were sad acts for watching Trofeo Calvia.

Scaroni must go to the tour from here with Champou, Velasco, Bettiol and all the other lads, think of what he can do uninjured and with a proper 2025 Astana preparation.

I was pretty emotional today. He has quickly become my favorite rider out there. Very kind person.
