Damiano Cunego told his drama to the ‘Gazzetta Sportiva’. The former cyclist has been hospitalized since 10 June for a bacterial infection in the left cerebral ventricle. “I have had constant episodes, especially at night, of a severe headache – he explained -. I couldn’t understand why. A strange thing. The pain increased. And so on the night of the 9th I decided to go to the emergency room: it had become unbearable. Something not to wish anyone. I was not afraid, but the suffering from the pain was very strong. Now I am at the Borgo Roma hospital in Verona, in the infectious diseases ward. Before I was in the Borgo Trento branch, neurosurgery section “.
“I noticed once again a lot of affection around me despite having retired for two years. This means that they are related to Damiano Cunego as a person, not only as an athlete. I’m really glad. There is still no certain date for his resignation, although a month should pass altogether. On July 3rd I will have to undergo another MRI to take stock and the ideas will be clearer, “he added.
The next step towards normality will be the return to university studies. “Now I was able to start again. I am enrolled in the IUL of Florence. Sport Sciences, practice and management of sporting activities. It is something very important for my future. I was a high level athlete, but the theoretical part is equally important I am finishing the first year and I have the opportunity to take exams online from the hospital. I have a history of pedagogy on July 2nd, hygiene on July 19th. For my Gran Fondo, the appointment will be for next year. to do a training camp to ride with the fans on the roads of the mythical peaks like Gavia, Mortirolo, Stelvio “.
