Russian cyclist Red Bull – BORA – Hansgrohe Alexander Vlaso told that the fracture was not yet fully healed, but that the injury no longer interfered with pedaling.
Vlasov, 28, fractured his ankle in early July during the Tour de France. He will start the Vuelta a España on Saturday.
— There was a fracture, and I won’t say it’s healed 100%, but I’ve been training for three weeks now, there have been no problems, there’s no pain when pedaling, everything is fine.
— What goals do you set for yourself, knowing that you are not even fully recovered from your injury yet?
“But we will know from the first week: we will see how I feel when I start riding, but I would like to be healthy already in the second half of the Vuelta,” Vlasov told .
The Vuelta a España stage race starts on August 17 in Lisbon and ends on September 8 in Madrid. Vlasov finished seventh overall in last year’s Vuelta.
