F1.Fernando Alonso, transferred to Bern with injuries to his jaw and teeth after being run over while training on a bicycle
Pre-season Cycling, key in Alonso's plan
Fernando Alonso underwent surgery at the Bern hospital to reposition his upper jaw, which was fractured, and extract several teeth damaged by the brutal impact.
It is the latest news after being run over while training with his bicycle, near his home in Lugano (Switzerland).
In the absence of the official statement from the Alpine team, the deadlines for his recovery are still unknown and how he will get to the start of the season, in Bahrain, in a month and a half (March 28).
"Fernando Alonso is conscious and well. He is waiting for the new medical tests," the team assured hours after the accident, on their social networks.
This newspaper learned that Alonso was calm, accompanied by his partner, the model
Linda Morselli
, and responding by WhatsApp to his colleagues, family and friends, such as the Italian
Flavio Briatore
.
This accident could compromise the Spanish presence at the start of the World Cup, on March 28 in Bahrain.
The race at the Sakhir circuit would see Alonso's return to F1, after two seasons where he focused on the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Indianapolis 500.
Alonso's passion for cycling dates back to his beginnings in the Gran Circo and since then it has only increased, until it became a key element for his physical preparation.
This same winter he redoubled his demanding schedule with daily sessions of more than 80 km.
MARCH 12 IN BAHRAIN
Alonso's misfortune occurred on the same day that the French team started the A521 for the first time, which it will put on track on March 12 in the first day of official tests in Bahrain.
A date marked in red by Alonso, who could only get on the car for a day and a half, according to FIA regulations.
The ignition of the engine at the Enstone factory is an important step for the team led by
Davide Brivio
, which next season should fight for third place in the Constructors' World Championship, in a contest with Ferrari, Aston Martin and McLaren.
