Christmas leg fracture means Giacomo Nizzolo set for lengthy injury lay-off
CyclingTuesday, 02 January 2024 at 11:30
Giacomo Nizzolo will have to wait to make his Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team debut after the 34-year-old Italian suffered a leg fracture over the festive period.
“On December 23rd, Giacomo Nizzolo had an accident with a fractured tibial plateau on his right leg," explains Lorenz Emmert, Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team Chief Medical Doctor to the team's official website. "He underwent surgery and was released from the hospital. The healing and rehabilitation process has already begun. We are very optimistic that we will get him back to his usual performance level within the next months as quickly as the injury allows.”
Nizzolo signed a two-year contract with Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team following his departure from Israel - Premier Tech although he will sadly no longer be able to join up with the team at their pre-2024 season start training camp in Calpe, Spain this January.
Having undergone successful surgery on the 27th, Nizzolo was discharged from hospital on the 31st of December and for the Italian, the long road to recovery is now underway.

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024

- A bit much to suggest that Pogacar is better than MvdP on most terrains. The only terrain Pogacar is clearly better is long climbs, on any other terrain they are pretty even except flat cobbles and short and steep climbs (max a few 100 mtrs) where MvdP is clearly better than Pogacar.Velovibes21-12-2024

- That’s the most stupid thing I’ve read for a long time, did you not go to school and learn even the most basic physics? Aero depends on one thing only, drag, drag depends speed and the relationship is squared and apart from maybe at zero or the speed of sound or due to side winds that relationship is valid at all speeds, it dies not “suddenly” start at a magic number. Very simply, the faster you go the more the effect becomes important. If you think 25km/h is needed to have noticeable effects you’re delusional, athletic WR are cancelled as soon as winds top 2m/s that’s 7.2km/h, why because the assistance is already too important at that speed and the times prove it. You don’t even consider wind which can significantly increase the effective speed for aerodynamics and you underestimate speed of climbs, 6% is ridden more at 30 than 25km/h, a speed at which early generation high rims were considered to have more advantages than disadvantages. And finally, as in normal races you can’t just switch bikes according to terrain, it’s pretty pointless to discuss climbs as a separate situation, the aero will have justified itself plenty during the rest of the ride.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
