Paolo Bettini Fractures Rib In Fall At Tour of Basque
PARIS, April 12, 2008 (AFP) - Italian rider Paolo Bettini fractured a rib when he fell in Thursday’s fourth stage of the Tour of the Basque country, his Quick Step said Saturday after he had hospital tests in Cecina, Italy.
“I have suffered a lot this past couple of days. I hurt all over but today I am a little more optimistic. Last year I rode more than two weeks at the Giro with a cracked rib,” said Bettini in a statement, promising to get back in the saddle as soon as possible.
