Roman´s hand in cast

“After being examined by two specialists, a decision to put my hand in cast was made. The next check is scheduled for Monday and until then I will spend the time to rest in the Czech Republic,” Roman revealed on his way from the hospital.An operation was not needed since it wouldn’t have sped up the recovery. “This was the best solution possible. There is nothing I can do. I´m going to skip the Classic San Sebastian where I was going to race on Saturday.  I hope that I will be able to start riding on the stationary bike, or preferably, on my regular bike next week. I would be happy if I could ride the races in Canada in September which was in my original plan because this is not the way I want to end the season,” Roman admitted.If he had known the extent of his injury during the Tour he might have abandoned the race. “I could have had my hand in cast for two weeks now but I had no idea how bad it was. I wanted to finish the Tour. Now the most important thing for me is to get my wrist together.”
