"Hi everyone, yesterday was an unusual day. I fell badly during training and was transported by helicopter to Verduno hospital. I want to let you know that I'm fine and would like to sincerely thank Massimo and Luca Rosa and Alessandro Perugia for their help. I'm also incredibly grateful to the entire medical staff who took care of me, both during and after the accident. A special thanks to the Red Bull BORA-hansgrohe team and their medical staff for their constant support. Thanks to everyone for the many messages".

This is how Matteo Sobrero describes his day on social media: the Piedmontese rider from Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe fell during training on a downhill section while cycling with the Rosa brothers, who were the first to help him. For Sobrero, the diagnosis reveals microfractures to the nose and cheekbone, resulting in a forced withdrawal from Milan-Sanremo.
