Turns out even pro riders suffer from the mundane effects of increasing training load too much. Of course, I don't have a team physiotherapist to work with when I get tendonitis. :crap:
Still, kind of refreshing to hear about the kind of over use injuries that most amateurs can identify with, and how even pros aren't immune to having their season impacted.
“I worked very hard this winter and was ready to start racing even sooner, in Argentina (Tour of San Juan), but the last couple of weeks I suffered from tendinitis," Nizzolo said.
"This knee problem forced me to reduce my training volume and even kept me off the bike for a few days. I am having intensive treatment with the physiotherapist and that will help me to get back on track as soon as possible.”
