The medical report for Lorenzo Ursella, rider of the Sc Padovani Polo Cherry Bank team, who crashed during the 108th edition of Popolarissima held yesterday in Treviso, indicates a right shoulder fracture. After clinical examinations at Ca' Foncello Hospital in Treviso, the athlete has been discharged and returned home.

The medical staff of the white-green team is now evaluating the most appropriate treatment to ensure a full and prompt recovery of the athlete, which will be defined in the coming days.

"It's a shame to have to give up Lorenzo precisely at this moment when he was in excellent physical condition" - declared team manager Alessandro Petacchi - "We know he is a fighter and has a great desire to return to the group, which is why we will wait for him for as long as necessary to ensure his complete recovery. The team is by his side and, as in the most important sprints, can count on a train of experienced and prepared doctors who will accompany him through these days. From my side, I can only wish him a speedy recovery".
