Giada Specia: broken pelvis and two vertebrae

At the start of the opening short track of the World Cup in Araxá yesterday, an important name was missing among the Italians: Giada Specia.

The biker from Veneto, in fact, had fallen on Friday during her last training session and had been rushed to the hospital. This morning, unfortunately, confirmation of the seriousness of the accident arrived: a fractured pelvis and two vertebrae.

Specia herself told the story through social media, where she explained:
"During Friday's training on the track I crashed quite violently and the result is a fracture of the pelvis and two vertebrae. Now I'm in bed and, together with my entourage, we are organizing the return to Italy scheduled for a week. Then we will evaluate the next steps. Thanks to everyone for the messages and a special thanks to the KTM Factory MTB Team for the support they are giving me here."

ppgad@pucrs.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').
