The 2007 season has ended for Raffaele Ferrara with a crash in the Giro di Lombardia. The Italian of Team LPR had three fingers of his left hand seriously injured, with suspected tendon damage.
"It was an ordinary crash, one that you see in every race," explained Ferrara, who makes his home in Castelfranco Veneto. "However, after I was on the ground I felt a strong pain in my hand, without quite knowing what happened. Probably my hand ended in the middle of a wheel or the chain.
"I am upset that I have to end my season in such a way. Anyhow, I am already pointing towards the next year – for me it will be an important year."
