Filippo Baronicini (UAE Team Emirates XRG) has made a full recovery from serious injuries to his face sustained in a crash during the Tour of Poland in August, but expressed serious concerns about the treatment he received at the race in an interview with Sporza.
The Italian crashed along with other riders on a tricky descent through a forest with 22km to go on stage 3 to Wałbrzych, suffering numerous fractures to bones in his face after crashing into a wall.
Baroncini expressed his gratitude for Michał Kwiatkowski, who was also involved in the fall, for asking his Ineos team doctor to attend to him, but added, “There’s still something that keeps nagging at me. I was in a stationary ambulance for 45 minutes – incomprehensible when you know the condition I was in.
