A little operation forced Fabiana Luperini to stop for a few days and prevent her from tanking parte in Gran Premio Brissago-Lago Maggiore, swiss race that would have represented her racing debut this season.
«This operation was necessary - as chairman Walter Ricci Petitoni explains - because Fabiana had a problem that does not let her pedaling efficiently and then tranings were not good. I spoke with Fabiana and we decided together to do it now because the main goals of the team are still far and a brief stop does not affect anything.» Fabiana Luperini will observe a rest period of about a week but she will be racing in the three race of GP Costa Etrusca, where she was often protagonist.
Meanwhile, the overall physical condition of the girls has been steadily growing even though it is obviously not the best one yet: The first great goal of the team will be the Flèche Wallonne (April 22) and then the girls will focus completely on the Giro d'Italia.
