American cyclist Chris Horner has been released from the hospital in Lecco, his Lampre-Merida team announced. The 2013 Vuelta a España winner suffered injuries to his ribs, lung, and head in a training accident last week. [ Link ]
Horner is currently at his home in Como with his family. “I’m glad to be home. It was a bad experience, but I also think I was lucky: the fall could have been much worse.”
The American's first goal of the season, the Giro d'Italia, is a long way off due to the fall. He may be back in the peloton for the Tour de France though.
