Some definitive answer in Toscana prolly, looks grim though.

Then maybe you will put me in the favourites giving four, five stars or also the comet star. But I am tired of this situation. I feel good in health, but you saw my condition there"

We can't know for absolutely anyone whether he will be competitive in Innsbruck. I am sure, though, that his form is improving. We are yet to see if he will be good enough. Just have patience and wait for the race.

I doubt he is playing games. We all saw what he has day after day and it isn't even 70% form . The man had a back operation and is still in recovery. We hoped for a lot, he hoped for a lot. We didn't see it in this race.
He is supposed to ride 2 more one day races before Worlds so that will show if his condition is going up high enough to have any expectations.
In the meantime the idiot with the camera should be found and Punished.
There is still Lombardia. And I wouldn't count him out of the WC already now. Where was he before Sanremo? That's my little last hope to see Vincenzo competitive in Innsbruck.Oliver said:Sad news. No Olympics because of a crash and now not even a chance for the WC because of another crash.
2018 what a bad season only MSR .
I hope next year he comes back strong from the beginning!
