Good news for Brice Roger is coming, although the transalpine sprinter will still have to rest for some time.
After the fall remedied at Ciuk, in the second descent of Bormio (he had finished the first in 7th place, among other things by signing the best time in the Thursday test), the 29 year old from La Plagne suffered pain in his left knee, with the fear that the damage could be serious enough.
Today the decisive visit to Lyon, with the statement from the French federation which is all in all positive: “Brice Roger suffers from a bruise with spillage to his left knee - reads the note - On Thursday a knee infiltration will be carried out for a quick return to skiing â€.
The goal is to be there already for the next descent, the fifth season of the World Cup, scheduled for 18 January in Wengen, with the Team de France which, among other things, is doing very well with both veterans Clarey and Theaux but, in addition to Roger, also with Muzaton and the young Bailet, protagonists of great races in Bormio.
