Davide Formolo suspects that he has a fractured wrist as a result of colliding into a wild boar while training in Monaco on January 3. According to a report in La Gazzetta dello Sport, the UAE Team Emirates rider was descending at 60 km/h when he said he hit a baby wild boar and crashed.
"We are still working a lot on the right wrist, we are afraid that there is some fracture," Formolo said.
"Fortune is blind, but misfortune sees us very well. I was descending fast, going to the right and a baby boar crossed the road running. I couldn't do anything about it, he hit his head on my front wheel," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I fell over. I was going downhill at 40 mph and was on the ground. We are still working a lot on my right wrist, we are still afraid that there is some fracture. It looks like nothing is broken, but there are a lot of bones in the hands and it takes ten days to show any fractures.
"I did a week with the time trial bike, but I still can't stand up on the bike."
