Rigo reappears
This Saturday Rigo reappeared to tell with his usual grace the details of what happened to him.
“I’m already at home in the process of recovery. The truth is that it’s a very simple injury, so there’s no need to operate, no need to swing a knife, no need to put screws in, this will heal quickly. About five weeks on the bike and then we’ll be in great shape.”Rigo said in a video on his social networks.
“How did the fall happen? I was just going downhill fast, rrrrr, my front tire slipped and I was left there, but it’s okay, there are worse things. I thank the team and the Vuelta organizers for their support. I’m now in the recovery process and we’re moving forward. It’s time to keep working hard,” he said.
Finally, and with humor, he showed the crutches he has to use for support and said: “This is a little support, but I can pick up the broom, the mop, I can wash dishes, we are ready guys, thanks for your messages.”
