Giacomo Nizzolo suffers fractured collarbone after training ride crash
Cycling
Israel - Premier Tech's Giacomo Nizzolo has sustained a fractured collarbone after an off-season training ride ended in disaster when he crashed hard.
In an official statement made by his team on Sunday, it was stated “Unfortunately, Giacomo Nizzolo was involved in a crash yesterday while training in Switzerland. X-rays have revealed a non-displaced right collarbone fracture". A silver lining for the Italian is the fact that it seems surgery will not be required. The official statement continued by saying that the injury "fortunately, will not require surgery and can be treated conservatively,”
Thankfully despite the unluckiness of the injury, Nizzolo can count himself lucky in a weird way due to the timing of the incident. Being in the off-season, the 33-year-old has plenty of time to rest and recover. "The injury is not expected to impact his preparation for the 2023 season.”
