Though hit by a car during a training ride on April 10th, Thomas Löfkvist has started to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The day after the accident which resulted in an open fracture of the 1st phalanx and the index finger of his left hand, Löfkvist was operated on at the Geneva University Hospital (HUG); today the Swedish IAM Cycling rider was able to return to riding on the road.
The doctors gave him the green light to resume his training after having taken an x-ray and removing the stitches. Thomas Löfkvist has made happy use of his free time by visiting his friends and teammates, currently racing the Tour of Romandie, at their hotel in Freiburg, and congratulated them on their performance.
Unless the medical staff in charge of his recovery decides otherwise, Löfkvist should be able to return to competition at the Tour of Bavaria (22-26 May).
