While Peter Stetina suffered the most visually horrific injury in the bad crash in stage two of the Tour of the Basque Country, he is now back to racing. Caja Rural’s Sergio Pardilla still hasn’t made his comeback yet and is still waiting for an apology. 

“They have ignored the subject,” Pardilla told Spanish sports paper Marca. “I don’t know anything, they haven’t responded to our calls or letters. With Van Avermaet, when he was run over in Clasica San Sebastian they sent him a letter in Spanish. For me, not even this.”

The 31-year-old Spaniard suffered a hemopneumothorax, fractures in both shoulder blades, the ulna of the left arm, four ribs, a broken finger in his left hand and he destroyed the metacarpals of the same hand.

Pardilla says that while Caja Rural have told him he will stay with the team in 2016, he still hasn’t signed a new deal and this is starting to worry him.

“Those responsible for Caja Rural-Seguros RGA have called me many times and I say there is no problem to renew, that they count on me, but the fact is I still haven’t.”
