Bo Bendsneyder finished the fourth round of the season in 15th position despite severe pain in his right arm throughout the weekend. The Dutch rider suffered a lot in the last ten laps of the race, but he managed to cross the finish line in the points area. Bo will undergo several tests tomorrow at the Dexeus Clinic by Doctor Mir to try to solve the problem with his right arm.
#64 Bo Bendsneyder – P15 – +27,326
“It was a really tough race. We already knew before the race that I would struggle with my arm. The Clinica Mobile and my team did a great job to help me with the position on the bike and to give me good massages to make me feel better. The last 10 laps were really tough, especially on the right corners. I had no power and I cannot ride how I wanted. At the end we took one point. It’s not so bad. The feeling with the bike was good so I’m happy about this. Big thanks to my team because they give me a lot of support. I’m looking forward to the next weekend. Tomorrow I have a scan in Barcelona to see if I need surgery before Le Mans.”
