While training on the roads of Santa Rosa de Viterbo, the town where he lives in Colombia, on Friday 5 December, Germán Gómez was involved in a collision with a van. After undergoing surgery for fractures to his left clavicle and the first metacarpal of his left hand, the Team Polti VisitMalta rider was unable to take part in the training camp currently underway. Medical checks scheduled for next week will provide a clearer timeline for his full recovery.
Saddened by not being able to be with his teammates in Spain, but fully motivated to recover and get back on the bike as soon as conditions allow, Germán wanted to send a message to motorists: “Please pay the utmost attention. You are not the only road users — human lives are riding those two wheels!”
