Sad news to share. On Sunday during Paris-Roubaix I crashed hard in the Arenberg cobbled sector, suffering several fractures in my left elbow.
I had surgery last night and everything seems to be going well. We don't know exactly how long it will take to get back to racing, but my mind is already geared towards recovery and I'm sure I'll come back stronger than before. A special thanks to all the people who have been close to me in these difficult days – Philip Columbus

famac@famac.ind.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
