Didnt know he had a serious car accident (i understand not cycling related) two monts ago. Five surgeries and two pending.

He wont race 2022 i think. The UAE colombian sprinters going through bad times.

He what? I knew about him being injured - it's the reason the team temporarily extended Richeze - but I wasn't aware it was because of a car accident.

Or... did he get injured again?

 

[Nacho23]

I understand that hes injuries were only do to that car accident and that they - for some strange reason - kept the accident in secret.

 

[RedheadDane]

This is the info you get from PCS:

Current injuries

• Out with Fractured ankle,Fractured wrist (Crash)

Of course, I guess "crash" doesn't specify "bike crash", I just... sort of assumed it.

 

[rodanafrenteguigs]

Any news regarding Alvarito?

 

[Bonimenier]

Any news regarding Alvarito?

I believe his last surgery following his crash was planned 2 weeks ago or so.

 

[rodanafrenteguigs]

Thanks fot the update!

 

[Salvarani]

Anyone know how he is doing? Will he be able to ride as a pro again?

He's still riding with UAE next season isn't he? Unless something else has happened since I last read anything that prevents him from doing so contractually or physically.

Question was if he will be able to ride again and if there has been any more news about how his recovery is going.

Álvaro José Hodeg zet nieuwe stap in zijn herstel: Colombiaan zit weer op de fiets

Er is licht aan het einde van de tunnel voor Álvaro José Hodeg. De 26-jarige Colombiaanse sprinter zit, een jaar na een zwaar ongeval op training, weer op de fiets. Hodeg kwam dit jaar helemaal niet in actie voor zijn ploeg UAE Emirates, maar hoopt volgend seizoen weer een rugnummer op te...

Apparently, it's news that he can ride a bike. It sounds like a horrible period he has been having.

Iljo Keisse said in a podcast 2 months ago that he does not expect to see Hodeg back at a high level ever again so yeah that says something about his situation.

Oh my. I mean, I think Keisse and Hodeg never got along well, but he might be right. I am so sorry for Hodeg. I feel so sad.

Keisse actually was very positive about Hodeg as a person so I don't know about that.
And it was a podcast from 2 months ago and I don't think they have daily or even monthly contact so his situation could be better now (hopefully).

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

I didn’t realise his injuries were quite so bad.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He's making his comeback in Giro di Sicilia this week, 18 months after his last race. Maybe he'll never get back to his previous best level, but at least things seem to be moving in a better direction.

 

[BR2]

8th today... he didn't really push for the win... but just to see him able to keep up with the pro peloton again when the stage today was not that easy, it's nice.

 

[rallybanana]

Álvaro Hodeg is currently in last place in the UCI rankings with 0.14 points.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Any indication as to whether he maintains ambitions to remain a pro?

 

[Potomac]

I have to confess that I totally forgot about this guy, I didn't even recognize his name at first.
It is sad to see a promising career cut short by injury.
