‘I’m having surgery to stitch the tendon’ – Davide Formolo sidelined for six weeks after teacup falls on big toe

Davide Formolo is set to undergo surgery and a six-week recovery period after accidentally dropping a teacup on his big toe. The Movistar rider confirmed the delay to his winter training due to his injury in an Instagram post on Tuesday.

“There’s nothing you can do about it; life is strange sometimes. You ride about 30,000km a year with trucks brushing against your handlebars, as if it were normal, you dive downhill on wet roads like Valentino Rossi at Mugello…” he wrote.
