How did you live the race weekend, having to live with these ugly wounds?

Unfortunately the crash has ruined the whole program of work and back in the saddle with all these bruises was difficult but the team has helped me develop the bike and managed to stay on schedule! The right arm and leg were burning but with the help of the mobile clinic I fought back and running smoothly!

The wounds have not healed completely, one in particular, that of the arm. Unfortunately it is still very evident because the crash left me with a burning asphalt. For the rest I feel very good, I just hope I do not have much discomfort in the arm when I am on track.
