The Veronese: "The helmet saved my life"

Good news for Elia Viviani after the fall at Paris-Roubaix . The Team Ineos Grenadiers rider, taken to hospital for tests, suffered a muscle injury, which should not compromise his next commitments: "The tests carried out in the hospital ruled out fractures and after returning home I carried out other tests with the Team which they highlighted a lesion of the left gluteal muscle and a large hematoma which I will recover in a few days, like the various abrasions on the body - the runner wrote on his social media - As for the head, I immediately passed all the necessary tests - said Viviani – It may seem stupid to say it over and over again but the helmet saved my life in Sunday's fall. It exploded at the moment of impact, ensuring that the impact did not reach my head."

So the next commitments on the track have been confirmed: I'm leaving for Canada – Viviani confirmed to La Gazzetta dello Sport – I don't know yet which races I'll run. In Canada I will be followed closely by the national team's physiotherapists, so I decided to give it a try."
