June 29, 2020 Alex Zanardi underwent a second neurosurgery. This was announced by the Sienese hospital Le Scotte where the Bolognese rider was hospitalized from 19 June following the accident with the handbike in Pienza.

After the intervention, which lasted about 2 and a half hours, Zanardi was again hospitalized in intensive care "where he remains sedated and intubated: his conditions remain stable from the cardio-respiratory and metabolic point of view, severe from the neurological point of view, the prognosis remains confidential ".

The new operation, explain the health workers, was decided following a control CT scan. The diagnostic examination "showed an evolution of the patient's state which made it necessary to resort to a second neurosurgery". "The intervention carried out - explains the medical director of the Aou Senese Roberto Gusinu - represents a step that had been hypothesized by the team. Our professionals will evaluate the evolution of the situation day by day, in agreement with the family the next bulletin will be released in about 24 hours. "
