The Slovenian, positive as always, has been active around his place of residence in Monaco and has since returning to riding on the rollers. He was given around five weeks off the bike days after his injury, and is likely to return to riding on the road in early June. This is currently preventing him from joining his teammates who are an altitude camp in Sierra Nevada preparing for the Tour.

"I will update you all once I get back on the bike outside. But for now hard work continues in my kitchen and garden," he concluded. He's had to forego plans of travelling to a wind tunnel for aero testing and a recon of some Tour de France stages, but is likely to return to competition before the Tour, before his final preparations for the hunt of a third title.
