Giulio Ciccone has admitted he will have to start his 2024 training from zero after surgery for a nasty saddle sore means he will spend four weeks off the bike.
The Lidl-Trek rider was supposed to head to altitude at Mount Teide and then target Tirreno-Adriatico in early March. He underwent surgery on Monday and now he is even unsure about riding the Giro d’Italia in May.
