An unfortunate incident during training that costs participation in the year's flagship event. In terms of the Giro Next Gen, the Team Biesse Carrera Premac - a Continental team from Brescia - loses Michele Bicelli, who fell victim on Sunday to a crash during a training ride at the team's altitude camp in Livigno, where they were preparing specifically for the prestigious stage race. For the 2006-born rider, the medical report indicates a compound fracture of the right kneecap and a right shoulder subluxation, with recovery times currently estimated at one month.

"Beyond obviously the disappointment for the rider - said Marco Milesi, sporting director of the team alongside Dario Nicoletti - there is that for the team: we lose an important piece for the Giro, our general classification rider and a cyclist particularly suited to the hard mountain stages".
