Misfortune on Greek roads for Alexandr Vinokurov Jr. The 22-year-old from XDS Astana Development was hit by a car while training in preparation for upcoming races that will engage the Kazakh team in Rhodes. Transported to the hospital, the son of the 2012 London Olympic Champion underwent instrumental tests that revealed a femur fracture.

According to the XDS Astana Team, the rider is in stable condition and will soon undergo surgery; subsequently, he will fly to France to continue his recovery process.

Definitely a tough blow for the young Vinokurov, who had started the season by participating with the World Tour formation in the fifth edition of the Alula Tour, where he had distinguished himself by animating the first and fourth stages and finishing 25th in the inaugural stage of the Visit South Aegean Islands won by his teammate Mattia Negrente.
