According to the medical services at the Buenos Aires clinic where Adriano Malori is now convalescing, the rider's condition continues to progress.

Malori crashed hard in stage 5 of the Tour de San Luis and was put in an induced coma after arriving at the hospital in San Luis from which he has been transpoted to Buenos Aires after he woke up. He is now fully conscious and aware.  The sense of touch in his limbs and his response to external stimuli are normal. He underwent surgery on Friday, with a successful outcome. In the constant presence of his family, his progress follows the normal pattern in this type of case.

Malori's condition will be evaluated over the coming days with a view to his possible transfer to Italy.
