Franck Bonnamour returns to competition at Boucles de la Mayenne after months of injury
Cycling
Franck Bonnamour will be at the start of the Boucles de la Mayenne on Thursday (25-28 May). For the Frenchman it is his first race since the Tour des Alpes Maritimes et du Var, where he broke his foot.
Bonnamour, who is in his first season for AG2R Citroën, crashed in the second stage of the Tour du Var. He suffered a fracture in his right foot. It was expected that he would be able to make his comeback again in early April, but the recovery turned out to take longer. "I didn't expect this foot fracture to keep me out of the peloton for so long," says the 27-year-old rider.
“I have waited three months for this moment. The fact that I have been able to focus on my rehabilitation all these weeks does not alter the fact that I am looking forward to the races and I am full of adrenaline," Bonnamour is very excited pin on race numbers again.
But he's just as motivated to pay back the trust of the team that effectively saved him when B&B project collapsed: “I just finished a two-week training camp in Corsica. There I had great conditions for training and for fine-tuning my physical condition. The season is still long and I want to perform well in the AG2R Citroën shirt.”

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
