A number of professional cyclists retired from the sport last weekend, including Mikel Nieve. The Caja Rural-Seguros rider wanted to make his last race memorable, but this wasn't the case for him as he ended up broken in a dramatic fall in the starting hours of Il Lombardia on Saturday.
“I arrived wanting to do it well, Lombardia is a race that I like, but a bottle crossed the road, and we could do nothing to do it. It’s obvious that I would have liked to finish in a different way, but cycling is like that, and it’s time to accept it,” Nieve said.
He was later diagnosed with a broken collarbone. It is now time for the rider to rest up before embarking on his new adventure. “Despite the blows and the broken collarbone, I’m fine,” he said. “Now it’s time to look forward, my stage as a cyclist concludes here, and I’m satisfied and proud of everything I’ve experienced,” concluded Nieve.
