Javier Aramendía, Amets Txurruka and Carlos Barbero won't be able to compete in the near future: Barbero and Txurruka due to their crashes at Etoile de Besseges and Aramendía as a consequence of his recent surgical intervention.

Amets Txurruka has a parcial fracture on his left clavicle. He received good news: He won't have to undergo surgery. “I don’t want to think about my return, I just want to speed up my recuperation and we will see."

Barbero has a fracture of his left radial head. His injury has a very good recovery. “I feel good, I don’t feel any pain and that is helpful for me. I am encouraged to come back and now I am just thinking about recuperating as soon as possible. Hopefully, I will be able to return to the road in mid-March to help my teammates."

Aramendia's surgery was performed on February 2 and he feels good: “Tomorrow (Wednesday) the doctors are going to remove the staples, although the main problem are the internal stitches. Furthermore, I have to be patient in my recovery. I think we have to take a good decision and I feel enthusiastic about my recuperation. If it continues like this, probably I will come back to the roads on May."
