Simone Petilli successfully undergoes surgery after Strade Bianche crash

Simone Petilli underwent successful surgery on his right collarbone at the BG Klinikum Unfallkrankenhaus hospital Berlin on Monday 10th of March, following a crash during the Strade Bianche last Saturday.

Thanks to close collaboration between the hospital in Berlin and Intermarché-Wanty, the Italian climber received prompt care after his crash from the team led by Philipp-J. Braun, head of the Department of Sports Traumatology.

"Simone had successful surgery on his fractured right collarbone. He could leave the hospital this Tuesday morning thanks to the excellent care provided at the BG Klinikum Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin. We expect him to be able to resume training on the rollers after a week of rest. He should be capable to resume outdoor sessions two weeks after his operation and continue his preparation for the Giro d'Italia. We are closely monitoring his recovery to plan his timely return to competition."

Want You Club

Created in 2013 with an innovative concept, the Want You Club (WYC) is the business club bringing together partners of Intermarché-Circus-Wanty. Currently presided by Dimitri Bauters, its purpose is to offer the sponsors of the team the opportunity to meet, get to know each other, develop relationships and business together.

The Club meets at least 6 times a year, often before the biggest cycling events of the year (a.e. Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Belgian Championship, Binche-Chimay-Binche) to introduce their business and share company news. Currently, more than 85 companies support us.

Our business club is one of the first of its kind in cycling and we are always looking for opportunities to grow bigger and expand our memberships.
If you are interested to support our cycling team and become member of the business club, don’t hesitate to contact us.
