Davide Formolo is forced to undergo surgery due to an incredibly trivial domestic accident, and the Veronese rider from Movistar tells the story himself: "There's nothing you can do, life is strange sometimes: you ride about 30k km a year with trucks nearly brushing your handlebars like it's normal, you throw yourself down wet descents like not even Valentino Rossi at Mugello, then one evening a tea cup slips on your foot, causes a small cut and you can't lift your big toe, so surgical operation to suture the tendon followed by a long rehabilitation that involves at least six weeks off!"
