Italian sprinter Alberto Dainese, from the Tudor Pro Cycling Team, will not take part in competitions this weekend in the Spanish region of Murcia and Almería and in the Volta ao Algarve next week. The information comes through a statement issued by the Swiss team. According to the note, Dainese suffered a fall during training, which resulted in injuries to his face and jaw.
Dainese is in its first year of contract with Tudor
Last year, Alberto Dainese won the 19th stage of the Vuelta a España and soon after, he switched from the dsm-firmenich team to Tudor. In his debut for the new team, the Italian cyclist achieved an impressive performance, finishing second in the Trofeo Ses Salines-Felanitx race.
Convalescent status is still unknown
It is not yet known what the recovery period will be and when the cyclist will be able to resume competition. Despite the accident, the team confirmed that Dainese did not suffer any fractures. However, it is certain that he will be out of racing for the next two weeks.
