Fractured left scaphoid for Aleksejs Saramotins

After falling heavily in the first sector of cobbles during Sunday’s Paris-Roubaix, Aleksejs Saramotins suffered a fractured left scaphoid.

The diagnosis was confirmed after the specialists at the Geneva’s University Hospital (HUG) examined the Latvian champion.

Aleksejs will have to wear a special splint to aid in the healing process and will not be allowed to race for four weeks, though he will still be able to train.

IAM Cycling wishes him a fast and good recovery and looks forward to see him back on the saddle, even stronger than before!
