Marta Cavalli suffers another injury blow with training camp fall in Benidorm
CyclingMonday, 05 February 2024 at 23:30
FDJ - Suez's Marta Cavalli has long been regarded as one of the brightest talents in the women's peloton but sadly for the 25-year-old Italian, her career has been consistently blighted by injuries.
Bad luck has once again struck for the former Amstel Gold Race and Fleche Wallone winner among other successes after a training camp crash in Benidorm. "Medical examinations confirmed a bone contusion to the pelvis," confirms an official announcement from her team.
"Marta is an exceptional athlete and a key piece of our team. His health and recovery are our top priority," says General Manager of FDJ - Suez, Stephen Delcourt. "We are all behind her to support her during this difficult time. Her courage and determination inspire us, and we are confident in her ability to come back stronger than ever."
Cavalli previously had a very serious fall during the 2022 Tour de France and struggled for a long while afterwards, suffering from mental anguish and anxiety as a result of the crash. Some positive results towards the end of 2023 looked to have signalled a return to form and hopefully, this new setback won't cause too much damage.

- Rules are very different from country to country and evolve with time. At one point I couldn’t even give my son my nationality because being unmarried, you’d have to register at least 3 months before the birth, a time when many people know neither the name or sex, and actually, no-one even knows if the birth will take place. In England there is now a kid with the wrong sex on his birth certificate as mistakes (even if by an administration) can no longer be corrected. I just had a 3rd child, we discovered a bump on his head at 2 weeks that wasn’t there 24h before, we ended up at the police accused of child abuse and about to have him taken from us due to staff incompetence and inexperience. Luckily a pediatric neurosurgeon has now confirmed this is not so uncommon after natural childbirth without instruments but most medical employees aren’t informed of it so automatically accuse parents of negligence/lying whatever. We discovered an association that already helped over 1000 wrongly accused couples (just those who found the association in just one country). I almost got arrested in one country for forgery after trying to convert my driver’s license as they thought I must have tampered the dates to get it aged 17 which isn’t possible for them. I can’t access half official services because the online forms are not set up to accept foreign phone number as data but a number is obligatory. That’s just a quick start, anyone who’s ever had to move internationally will confirm, there’s very little that’s not done differently elsewhere than “at home” The world is full of bureaucratic shit destroying society.Mistermaumau23-11-2024

- you was so exhausted, ok, then why to ride third-class races immediately after the Tour? do a mix of rest, relax and soft-medium training in your family environment and after the birth of your baby, a month of full, intense training for the world championship! prestigious and suitable race for you (even MAS did well). Sometimes I don't understand Jonas's calendar.
maria2024202423-11-2024 - it’s just a brutal sport, and if you don’t believe in yourself — especially when you’re young — then what’s the point. i get it. that said, the voice of ultra competitive Mads Pedersen after last year’s Roubaix does echo in one’s ears. “mathieu was LEAGUES better than the rest of us… Yeah, i’d like to BELIEVE i could win this race one day, but after what mathieu just did i think that might be difficult…” and that’s MADS PEDERSEN. still, what can pithie do BUT believe?OCexile23-11-2024

- It happens all to often. My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib. Somehow I still train and do some races every year, mainly time trials these days.awp22-11-2024
