Domenico Pozzovivo returns to competition at Giro dell'Emilia

Domenico Pozzovivo has fully recovered from a broken rib and collapsed lung that he suffered in the Vuelta a Castilla y Léon at the end of July. This enables the now 40-year-old Italian to make his return in the Giro dell'Emilia on Saturday.
Pozzovivo crashed on July 26 in the opening stage of the Vuelta a Castilla y Léon. Examination in the hospital showed that the little climber had suffered a broken rib and a small collapsed lung. The recovery from those injuries ultimately took more than two months.
On Saturday, Pozzovivo returns to the race as part of strong Israel-Premier Tech lineup, in the Giro dell'Emilia, alongside hill specialists Dylan Teuns, Michael Woods, Jakob Fuglsang and Stephen Williams. Pozzovivo is also on the provisional start list for Tre Valli Varesine (October 3).
After Pozzovivo's contract with Intermarché-Circus-Wanty was not extended at the end of last year, it took until March of this year before he signed a contract with Israel-Premier Tech. Since then he has finished sixth in the Coppi and Bartali Cycling Week, seventh in the Mont Ventoux Challenge and fifth in La Route d'Occitanie.

- Oh, so now you know Pog better than he knows himself? Saying that when at the same time you can see an article quoting Pog saying “sometimes I don’t know why I attack” and not ever analysing emotions as men tend to is really rather naive and reductive. Hardly worth wasting our planet’s energy and ressources for. How about elevating the discussion to think over things a bit deeper?Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- They couldn’t convict him criminally because he paid up to escape it (that weird American possibility that ensures not all are equal before the law). He was convicted civilly but technically for committing crime. I on the other hand live in a country where unexplained damage to a baby in your care in theory leads to minimum 5 years of prison, if you admit an accident it’s more lenient but telling the truth that you don’t know how a bump on the skull happened exposes you to the as much risk as some who murder and rape. The developed world doesn’t deserve that designationMistermaumau20-11-2024
- Doesn’t deserve criticism considering all he won with all the crashes plus how close he got to a TdF (Pog had luck). If Pog and Jonas battle and wipe each other out we have Remco and Primoz to put on a show.Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- Agreed. Until he can stay upright on his bike, he’s at best an incomplete for a grade. That doesn’t mean that on his best form he can’t win it all. We just haven’t seen it.mij20-11-2024
