... out due to health reasons requiring an operation... or so the corriere della sera news flash tells me.

- to think he got 8th in the Giro in 2002 when EPO was rampant..... and he's clean as a whistle... posts all his blood data up on his website....

Don't think Bradley Wiggins will be to unhappy about this.

Still, pity to see a rider taken out by injury.

Yeah it completely blows 🙁

His back has been dodgy for ages now. Hopefully the surgery will get it sorted out once and for all. It's been very frustrating to see his talent not be fully realised.

He lifts too many heavy weights in his training from what I could see on his website... No need for that...

Hope he can get it right. He thought it was ok until a month or 2 ago then it went bad on him again.
I even bought the core strength book he used fo rhis recovery. I wonder if he still recommends it?

Sucks big time, hopefully he will come back to his best, wonder if FDJ will give him enough time though.
