Judging from the severity of his injuries, it wouldn't be surprising if the 27-year-old Moschetti was not to race again in 2024.
The dynamics of the accident are not yet clear, for Matteo Moschetti, who according to what the Gazzetta learned was hit by a truck on Tuesday. The 27-year-old sprinter from Lombardy with 9 professional victories to his name, was transported by helicopter to the Niguarda hospital in Milan following the accident.
