INJURY FOR MANUELE TAROZZI.
Following the fall that occurred to the Classica Comunitat Valenciana, Manuele Tarozzi returned to Italy to undergo medical examinations which revealed the fracture of the left greater trochanter. The first prognosis for him is a 30 day stop. This Wednesday, January 26, the riders will carry out further tests to confirm the first diagnosis.
