The start of the cyclo-cross season for Andri Frischknecht also means a start in a new category for him. In Madiswil, Frischknecht competes in the elite category for the first time and shows a strong race around 16th place. On a steep descent, however, he goes over the handlebars and comes into contact with a barrier post. His collarbone is no match for this and breaks, which is confirmed by an initial examination at Balgrist Hospital.

An MRI scan is carried out to rule out further injuries to the severely damaged shoulder. Either way, with six weeks of rehabilitation, Andri Frischknecht's cyclo-cross season is over. The 19-year-old should be back to his old strength for the start of the mountain bike season.www.scott-swisspower.com
