"Since the operation, I started feeling a bit better every day. I’ve been doing exercises to gain mobility and reduce the inflammation," he said in a team statement.

"Little by little I'm recovering muscle tone, and this allows me to see some progress. From here it’s difficult to know our real possibilities.

"We're going to a difficult track and until I’m back on my bike I won’t be able to really know my situation. But what’s clear to me at this moment is that it’s well worth it to travel and try," he added.
