Ivan Sosa (Movistar Team) thanked his followers for their support on his social media channels five days after being assaulted by a gun-wielding truck driver and is expected to have no complications from injuries to his chin. However, the 25-year-old is facing charges alongside the driver in the case.
"I want to thank you for all the messages of support that I have received in recent days. It was a shocking episode, but I feel good now," Sosa wrote on Tuesday.
A report by the Cundinamarca police described the January 5 incident, stating Sosa was assaulted by the driver of a tractor-trailer after complaining about the driver "making dangerous maneuvers on the road".
The driver accused Sosa of squirting water in his face and damaging the truck's windshield with a rock. Sosa accused the driver of exiting the truck to bludgeon him in the face with the butt of his gun.
